Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds IP Address Manager (IPAM)

The university I work at has at least 26 DHCP servers each managing multiple scopes, and it can get messy fast. SolarWinds IP Address Manager is an awesome tool to monitor the IP networks at a high level from one dashboard. I can easily determine DHCP utilization within each location and subnet with a glance at SolarWinds IP Address Manager.

Pros

  • IP address monitoring
  • IP address alerting for duplicates
  • DHCP Management lets me know when how scopes are being used
  • Sunbet Management lets me know when I need to look at increasing my subnet space

Cons

  • DHCP utilization sometimes has a delay before being in sync but is still accurate enough at all times for a broad understanding of the environment
  • Positive - Alert of scope usage significantly reduced troubleshooting time
  • Positive: Using one console frees up a lot of time of my time and it generally makes my life easier
BT Diamond IP required the company remote to make changes we constantly had to message
support which in my opinion was not worth it. All research said SolarWinds IP Address Manager was the best by a wide margin. We had no issues with SolarWinds IP Address Manager, and we got a great price so after evaluating SolarWinds IP Address Manager we did not look at any more alternatives

SolarWinds IP Address Manager is very useful the bigger and more complex the environment. Smaller organizations will have to consider the cost as it provides little benefit over monitoring maybe 2-3 servers. But I have over 24 DHCP servers with on average 15 subnets each so tracking and monitoring all that was very time-consuming. As a result, it was generally ignored until there was an issue. With SolarWinds IP Address Manager, I was able to set alerts to monitor scope utilization and duplicate IP addresses.
