Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds IP Address Manager (IPAM)

Managing IP address allocation has previously been done in spreadsheets but due to growing size and complexity, a proper system was required to manage all our internal IP addressing. SolarWinds IP Address Manager (IPAM) has proved to be immensely useful in improving our systems and processes with regard to IP address and VLAN management across our hybrid environments.
  • Automated discovery and alerting
  • Request-based allocations possible
  • DNS and DHCP support
  • Great as a standalone but would be good if it was just included with other parts of Orion
  • Does more than we initially needed
  • Reduced complexity and saves time

Spreadsheets can only take you so far with IP address management, and SolarWinds IP Address Manager (IPAM) adds so much more once you have a considerable IP address space you are trying to manage and, as a bonus, you can manage a number of other resources in the product, too, such as VLANs.
