More Micetro Pros →

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

Cons
"One area for improvement in RHEL is compatibility with some third-party tools, like those offered by Intel."

More Micetro Cons →

"The product needs to improve its support. The response time is long and not very helpful.""SolarWinds IPAM offers premium support, but the customer has to pay more money, and then they will have minimal response times.""They should provide more details on the full stack feature. It needs to be integrated with the hypervisor.""Sometimes we have to wait for screens to load, so faster operations would be better.""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.""Some processes are a little bit bumpy. The solution needs a design refresh.""From any improvement perspective, SolarWinds IPAM should consider working on the area where the tool lacks, which is its network management capabilities.""I would like more updates."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "While purchasing a small number of Red Hat Enterprise Linux licenses can be expensive, acquiring licenses for our entire ecosystem or environment often leads to better pricing."
  • More Micetro Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "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."
  • "It's on the costlier side. It's expensive."
  • "On a scale of one to five, where one is high and five is good, I would rate this solution as a four."
  • "I would rate the product's pricing a six out of ten."
  • "The product is costly."

    SolarWinds IPAM (IP Address Manager) is an IP management tool designed to work hand-in-hand with unified DHCP and DNS administration. The solution helps organizations prevent IP conflicts, using IPv4 and IPv6 address management. It also offers API support to provide two-way integration with third-party software, and enables automated provisioning.

    SolarWinds IPAM Features

    SolarWinds IPAM has many valuable key features. Some of the most useful ones include:

    • Integrated DHCP and DNS configuration management: SolarWinds IPAM works with multi-vendor DHCP and DNS services and does not require additional proprietary software or hardware for management. With the solution, users can easily unify and manage their Microsoft, Cisco, and ISC open-source DHCP servers as well as their BIND and Microsoft DNS servers.
    • Monitoring and alerting: The solution proactively and automatically detects IP address problems so that they don’t lead to network disruption. It enables organizations to continuously monitor and improve IP performance via notification of IP address changes in the network. SolarWinds IPAM also provides access to utilization data on essential metrics for planning.
    • Role-based administration: With SolarWinds IPAM, you can manage your DHCP, DNS, and IP subnets independently. Team members can manage their own subnets, address blocks, and DHCP and DNS services without affecting each other. In addition, role-based administration helps maintain security without limiting delegation of IP address management activities.
    • Subnet Allocation Wizard: SolarWinds IPAM allows users to specify supernet and subnet sizes, so it can automatically allocate the correct-sized subnet. The Subnet Allocation Wizard helps efficiently organize managed IP address spaces into subnets sized appropriately for the extent and traffic of networks. This feature also enables you to determine the most efficient way to subdivide a supernet.
    • Microsoft Active Directory: With the solution, you save time on configuring and creating separate logins by leveraging existing user accounts.

    SolarWinds IPAM Benefits

    There are many benefits to implementing SolarWinds IPAM. Some of the biggest advantages the solution offers include:

    • Less downtime: Because the solution offers monitoring and alerting features, it can help eliminate network downtime that is due to IP conflicts and non-availability of IP addresses due to full subnets.
    • Plug-in for vRealize Orchestrator: You can automate the process of provisioning IP addresses and updating DNS records with the solution’s plug-in for vRealize Orchestrator. The plug-in contains over a dozen workflows and actions that can be leveraged to script and seamlessly integrated.
    • Global IP address search: By performing a global search, the solution can help you track down a specific IP address on your network in a matter of seconds. You can quickly and easily access IP address data to both search for available IPs and meet IP requests as well.
    • Automated IP address scanning: The solution makes it easy for users to set up scheduled, automatic scanning for both IPv4 and IPv6 address spaces. In turn, this reduces manual errors and helps to ensure your network’s IP address information is up to date. Scheduled IP address scanning also helps you avoid IP address conflicts by recognizing transient IP status.
    • Customizable dashboards: By implementing SolarWinds IPAM solution, you can customize dashboards to deliver the essential information you need in a unified, at-a-glance view for streamlined management and quick troubleshooting.
