Very painless and simple to manage.
What do you like best about the product?
IP manager or IPAM, is very well made. We can manage so many groups of networks and it also makes it easy to find an IP when we don't remember what it belongs to. IPAM in SolarWinds allows us to tag an IP and show it as USED, RESERVED, AVAILABLE or TENTATIVE. IPAM also allows us to break out networks and subnets and create grups for each and easily organize it all.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am not familiar with many other options for what we do here, but I would like to see a more extensive vendor group for solarwinds IPAM. What I mean is when I add an IP and the necessary information for IPAM and it can detect a connection, it sometimes adds the detailed info like hostname or vendor on there. But we use SO MANY, that it does not seem to know all of them yet. An update in that regard would be very welcomed. I would also like to point out that it would be helpful to show the detailed information about each IP more compactly? It would be nice not having to scroll to the right to see the switch name or VLAN info. I mean, this can probably be organized by teams. I am in networking, so I would like to see networking details, whereas a DC tech might only need hostname and IP info.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We onboard many people regularly, and some engineers have moved on too. IPAM makes it easy to manage IPs to devices and makes it easy to see the pattern we have set forth for future generations of engineers. So they can take over quickly and maintain it as we have. With IPAM I can also edit names and manage hostnames foe devices or groups, so I can easily find what I am looking for.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is easy to use, and I recommend you at least give it a shot. Some other options out there might entice you, but IPAM has been around for a while. They know what they are doing and how we engineers like to use the service, so they adapted their services.

Solarwinda ia best to tool for monitoring IP infrastructure
What do you like best about the product?
Lower broadcast with efficient results..
What do you dislike about the product?
Registering node in this tool............
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Secure and insecure trafics
Simple interface with easy to use concepts
What do you like best about the product?
The interface to manage and review IP addresses is easy to use and low complexity. Any user can navigate the tool without issues. I highly recommend this product for a simple interface.
What do you dislike about the product?
Outside of the simple interface, sometimes finding the specific IP can be complicated. Searching is now always the best. If the tool could be improved in the search capacity it would be helfpul.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The tool does a great job managing our multiple public IP blocks at multiple data centers. IT helps us easily find the IPs and provision them out. A tracking system built into the tool would improve it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great product but the support of the tool lacks heavily.
Monitoring tool that can help your company
What do you like best about the product?
This product is easy to manage and has a big impact in the company, easy to monitoring different IP's inside the company, no need to do manual checking, with the help of this tool, it's a life changer in the IT department
What do you dislike about the product?
This quite a complicated before deployment, needs a lot of testing and checking before a smooth implementation. This is also expensive software
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It provides alert, network mapping, automayed network monitoring, with the right SNMP settings it will quickly be discovered the issues with the IP
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Talk to experts, do a proof of concept and do a lot of testing and configuration before purchasing an expensive software.
Great product at affordable price point. Nice integration with other Solarwinds suite tools also.
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to install.
Easy to upgrade (this has really improved in last few years with automated installation pkg that does all products, if multiple owned, in 1 single operation.)
Integration with MS DHCP servers is very simple and correlates your DHCP DB info with IPAM.
Search history for what devices have occupied in past is nice too.
Since we use several other Solarwinds products this is a nice plug in and is a massive upgrade over static Excel files (can get data from SNMP, WMI, DCHP and DNS)
Like the we can pull ARP cache from edge routers for example to ensure that NAT mapped addresses are also properly allocated (difficult otherwise)

What do you dislike about the product?
I struggle with creating certain entries that cannot be overwritten (it is either on for scanning and fields can be overwritten or off for scanning and your customizations are locked in but you could have stale data because scanning is disabled.
Also, we have a huge environment so dragging and dropping folders with networks into custom parent folders is tedious - this could be vastly improved (painful for me)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Near real time data vs old school static Excel files.
Able to not only ID whether IP is free, used, reserved but put many details (DNS name, mac address, OS (snmp/wmi) etc
This allows our entire IT team to quickly trace an IP down to a user or device

Reliable Monitoring Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Orion allows my team to go about our day-to-day and cuts down on having to check each device on our platform manually.
What do you dislike about the product?
On occasion, the wrong distribution list would get the alarms, but that was not the fault of the application per se, as much as it is making sure your organization has a detailed notification plan mapped out before settings your orion polling engine.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our Telecom team relies on Orion to send alerts when voice nodes rebooted, were up or down, or reset. This allowed us to jump to action during work-hours as soon as those alarms came into our Distribution list. The same alarms, were also visible by our NOC, so that 24/7 monitoring could successfully occur. I have suggested setting up a Service Now workflow to receive these alarm notifications to trigger ticket flows as well, that is something that can easily be leveraged with this tool.
Best Service for Network Admin

SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor
What do you like best about the product?
It works right out of the box. Core monitoring such as availability, CPU, memory, interfaces, and volumes are done out of the box.
What do you dislike about the product?
To display non-out-of-the-box information, we need to know SolarWinds Query Language (SWQL) or SQL.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Make sure the SLAs are met for different functional areas of the infrastructure. If there are any issues, we can drill in to find the cause.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor is a good start, but other modules are needed to monitor other specific parts of the infrastructure, such as storage arrays (Storage Resource Monitor).
