Useful for DNS/DHCP management but needs a better GUI
The initial setup is a little difficult. I haven't ever built any good environment as-is. However, I have tried to develop some labs for my testing; and found that it was really difficult for me to spin up. Setting up everything correctly is the one thing. The deployment itself can be done in half an hour. That said, this is not going to be just one appliance, this is going to be a distributed environment, like hundreds of appliances all together work as a single unit, and that's how the solution is provided. I haven't done any cold deployments. That said, for my testing, I could do it by myself in my lab. Otherwise, to be frank, I don't know how many people would be needed to do a deployment in a well-deployed organization, a running organization. If you have to implement the solution, you're definitely going to be doing it as a shared effort with network security and everyone else.

A stable and scalable tool meant for IP address management
I am unsure if SolarWinds IPAM is good for network management. I know that the tool can manage IP addresses. From any improvement perspective, SolarWinds IPAM should consider working on the area where the tool lacks, which is its network management capabilities. SolarWinds IPAM offers the functionalities it has promised to my company. There is nothing much that one can expect from a tool meant to manage IP addresses.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The DNS/DHCP side of the product is quite useful."
"SolarWinds IPAM is a simple and user-friendly tool."
"The product is user-friendly and valuable."
"Its setup is simple. Its interface is simple. It's very easy to manage."
"I like the option to keep all of the available and used IPAM addresses in the central organization."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It takes about half a day, and it can be done by one engineer."
"I am impressed with the product's reports."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"I would recommend this solution for all companies that have to deal with a lot of networks."
 

Cons

"It's an older product. The GUI and everything is a little outdated."
"I would like more updates."
"The installation and storage could be improved."
"SolarWinds IPAM offers premium support, but the customer has to pay more money, and then they will have minimal response times."
"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."
"They should provide more details on the full stack feature. It needs to be integrated with the hypervisor."
"From any improvement perspective, SolarWinds IPAM should consider working on the area where the tool lacks, which is its network management capabilities."
"Sometimes we have to wait for screens to load, so faster operations would be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"On a scale of one to five, where one is high and five is good, I would rate this solution as a four."
"The price of SolarWinds IPAM is good. After the second year, you have to pay additional for maintenance, because the first year is included with the license maintenance and support. It's from the second year on, you have to pay about 20% of the list price for maintenance and support."
"I would rate the product's pricing a six out of ten."
"The product is costly."
"It's on the costlier side. It's expensive."
