We performed a comparison between BlueCat Integrity and SolarWinds IPAM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IP Address Management (IPAM) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features are scalability and cloud infrastructure."
"Adaptive DNS's best feature is DDoS protection, which stops malware and network security attacks."
"One of the better things about Integrity is that the underlying code it uses is an ISC DNS and DHCP. It's not like some of the other vendors that have created their own version of DNS."
"It's a critical infrastructure piece. This is where all the IPs are named for the whole organization. It's a big deal. It has all the features related to DNS and DHCP. It's pretty amazing."
"The most valuable piece, which has been a lifesaver, would be the BlueCat DNS resolver. BlueCat Cloud DNS resolver is a tool that takes a look into your cloud's DNS and then reports back everything it finds into BlueCat's DNS Edge solution. The Edge solution has a bunch of nice rules that you can configure to route the DNS traffic. That automation alone is a lifesaver for me for the day-to-day churn of the DNS components that change on an hourly, daily basis."
"The most valuable feature is the IPAMs, which provide visibility into all the IP addresses on the network."
"BlueCat Integrity provides us with flexibility and visibility that we did not have before."
"Since implementing BlueCat, we have experienced fewer problems, anomalies, and strange issues."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Its setup is simple. Its interface is simple. It's very easy to manage."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It takes about half a day, and it can be done by one engineer."
"The most valuable feature of SolarWinds IPAM is its automated IP address management. Instead of working with Excel sheets, it's automated and saves a lot of time and effort. Additionally, it is adaptable, IT managers enjoy it, and it is high quality."
"The product is user-friendly and valuable."
"I would recommend this solution for all companies that have to deal with a lot of networks."
"I like the option to keep all of the available and used IPAM addresses in the central organization."
"SolarWinds IPAM is a simple and user-friendly tool."
"During our testing phase, we encountered some issues with Active Directory and DNS reverse lookups."
"The UI is outdated and needs a modern refresh."
"Usability needs to be better."
"However, it does not offer robust support for high availability failover with different subnets, especially if the servers are located in different data centers and belong to distinct IP networks."
"One crucial area for development is IPv6 support."
"While the product is IPAM, DNS, and DHCP, it does provide NTP functionality, but one of the things that they have yet to correct or catch up with is NTP authentication. There are new standards being pushed out and they are lagging a little bit in supporting them."
"The DNS and DHCP servers for guests are separated from the main organization. A lot of times, it doesn't allow you to choose a default IP space. When I log in to the GUI, it doesn't default to where I want it to be. So far, I haven't been able to find out how to change or specify that so that it defaults to a particular space, such as the main org. If I'm looking for the IP space for guests, I need to toggle and go to the guest site. Most of the time, I want the IP space for the org to be my main space, but it doesn't give me the ability to do that, or I haven't been able to find that over the last two years."
"The integration has room for improvement."
"They should provide more details on the full stack feature. It needs to be integrated with the hypervisor."
"SolarWinds IPAM offers premium support, but the customer has to pay more money, and then they will have minimal response times."
"Sometimes we have to wait for screens to load, so faster operations would be better."
"I would like more updates."
"The installation and storage could be improved."
"From any improvement perspective, SolarWinds IPAM should consider working on the area where the tool lacks, which is its network management capabilities."
"Some processes are a little bit bumpy. The solution needs a design refresh."
"My understanding is that IPAM cannot be used for the AWS environment. I might be wrong, but that's what I believe it cannot do. On AWS, SolarWinds IPAM cannot do what it does on the on-prem side. They should explore how to make IPAM capable and scalable on AWS and Azure environments."
