Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds IP Address Manager (IPAM)

We use SolarWinds IP Address Manager at the University to track IP addresses that are used. Before SolarWinds IP Address Manager we had to give various admins rights to various DHCP servers that they are responsible for managing and managing who had access to which severs was very difficult to track. With SolarWinds IP Address Manager I am able to assign rights to various DHCP scopes directly from SolarWinds making management far simpler.
  • IP address monitoring
  • IP address alerting for duplicates
  • Allow subnet management by user
  • SolarWinds IP Address Manager is a perfect product
  • Easy monitoring of all DHCP scopes from one console frees up a lot of time for admins
  • Alert of scope usage significantly reduced troubleshooting time when users have issues
SolarWinds IP Address Manager was cheaper than both alternatives and far easier to manage. Device42 interface is years behind what Solarwinds offers. It is very outdated; BT Diamond required remote management and we constantly had to message support, it reached a point where it was better not to have the product at all.

SolarWinds Network Configuration Manager (NCM), SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor (npm), SolarWinds Security Event Manager (SEM)
We have 12 locations each with its own DHCP server as well as its own backup server, each with around 10-15 subnets. Tracking scope usage across 24 servers was very time-consuming and having SolarWinds IP Address Manager allows any admin to view all scopes from one management console. We were also able to set alerts to monitor when the scope was 90% filled and any duplicate IP addresses were detected. Previously when a scope was full, it would often go unnoticed until users complained they could not access resources and we had to assign a ticket and have a technician troubleshoot before the admin sees the job. Now with alerts on a scope's usage, that is a thing of the past.
