Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds ipMonitor
We're using SolarWinds ipMonitor, in addition to other SolarWinds modules such as Application monitor and Network Performance monitor, since 2017 as our global solution for monitoring.
It's been used to monitor connectivity status (response to ping, usage, availability) of thousands of network equipment and servers from all our sites in more than 40 countries. It's also configured to alert the proper technicians/analysts/teams responsible for each equipment.

- Monitoring/alerting.
- Reporting/dashboards.
- Ping and service monitor.
- Equipment discovery.
- Could have a more friendly user interface (SLW platform is very complex in general speaking).
- Alerts could be more flexible and easy to configure.
- It gives you the ability to have a good overview on your network and servers in regards to connectivity and network performance.
- It allows IT to find issues before the users start to call.
We have run Zabbix in the past and while it is a great and very flexible tool (much more than SolarWinds), it is also an Open Source tool that depends heavily on the community. When it comes to more complex environments and global implementations with business critical applications, we could not rely on the community to support us.
SolarWinds is a leader on monitoring industry and has a great support.
