Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds ipMonitor

We were looking for a little more out of our server monitoring and out wanted something off the shelf, and ipMonitor was a perfect fit. Easy server configuration, light weight, not overly demanding on resources and the support staff Solarwinds are great to deal with should you have an issue.

  • Server monitoring.
  • Notifications.
  • Custom service monitoring.
  • GUI is a little dated.
  • Mapper is a little limited.
  • Lack of dashboard customization compared to others.
  • Alerts for help desk before phone calls come in.
  • Show running up-time.
  • Show drive space usage.
  • Monitor custom services for legacy applications.
These are only a few of what we looked at, and at the end of the day it came down to cost, low footprint, and ease of use. I have suggested SolarWinds to anyone who asks what we use.
I have tried several other solutions for server monitoring and overall I prefer to use SolarWinds ipMonitor for the servers. There really is not a scenario where I would not recommend this product.
