Likelihood to Recommend
It is well suited for quick manual updates, not too many as the interface could stand an overhaul. Not an easy interface to use when doing research - reverse lookups. Results aren't always accurate. The search capability could be a bit more robust, expanding the search capability into the comments area would help.

If you've never mapped your network out before, download a demo of Intermapper and let it run. Your jaw will drop as your network grows before your eyes. If you have your network already mapped, you still would like InterMapper because it will find stuff you did not even know you have. If I were a network consultant, the first thing I would do when I hit a client's site is to start a scan with Intermapper. You will very quickly learn what the topography is.

  • I don't have many complaints with Intermapper. It's a pretty simple tool for what we use it for, and it has worked well for us.

The product works well and is very easy to maintain. As such, we haven't had many occasions to use support. When we have called them they were easy to contact and responsive to our questions. We have had the product for years and it may have been a year or better since the last time we contacted them.

Alternatives Considered
BlueCat is the only DNS manager platform that I've had experience with. We had one prior to this, but it was before I had the need to interact with it doing one of the tasks I do now. I remember the switchover to BlueCat - not everyone was impressed with it, but so far my experience with it has been positive.

We have been using Intermapper for years and have been satisfied with it to the point that we haven't looked at competitors. The maintenance cost is very low and the product does exactly what we expect and need it to do. The product has gone through a couple owner transitions and still is a effective and when we first procured it.
