Considered Both Products	SolarWinds Umair Mehboob Senior Devops Engineer in Information Technology at iENGINEERING (Information Technology & Services, 51-200 employees) Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor We were trying to evaluate different providers and ipMonitor suited us because we had on-prem and cloud instances and management decided to check the paid tool. The ipMonitor is a very responsive tool and it served the purpose well but as IT is evolving and needs are changing, … Incentivized Helpful? Emma Jones Smith Senior Software Engineering in Research & Development at Coupa Software (Computer Software, 1001-5000 employees) Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor LogicMonitor is software with a fast-loading interface, with integrated alerts, so establishing them is simple due to its pre-configurations. However, SolarWinds ipMonitor [has] more complete characteristics because its interface is modern and easy to use. It offers fast and … Incentivized Helpful? Rekha Yadav Development Team Lead in Information Technology at Accenture (Computer Software, 10,001+ employees) Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor The way SolarWinds has clubbed the features and capabilities in SolarWinds ipMonitor is not available in other 3rd party or native tools. Even if they are available then they are very costly. I think SolarWinds is positioning ipMonitor so as to test their footprint on SaaS … Incentivized Helpful? Dylan Eikelenboom Security Officer in Information Technology at IXON Cloud (Information Technology and Services, 51-200 employees) Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor Both alternatives were great offerings, but were too extensive for our business needs. We needed something that had very low set-up costs, was easily usable, and did all the basics we need; performance metrics analysis, rogue IP detection, network mapping. In the end, along … Incentivized Helpful? Arnab Mukherjee ITSM and Project Management Consultant in Information Technology at Kyra Solutions, Inc. (Transportation/Trucking/Railroad, 201-500 employees) Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor SolarWinds NPM provides more functionalities than ipMonitor. It is for medium - large enterprise and provides lots of monitoring options. Incentivized Helpful? Nikhil Kumar Sharma Associate Consultant in Engineering at HCL Technologies (Information Technology & Services, 10,001+ employees) Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor Although there are very less SaaS based tools available in the market, SolarWinds is somewhere in middle as compared to other tools such as LogicMonitor and ScienceLogic. Reason being the timing of the product launch and features enhancement. However current capabilities in … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor We have run Zabbix in the past and while it is a great and very flexible tool (much more than SolarWinds), it is also an Open Source tool that depends heavily on the community. When it comes to more complex environments and global implementations with business critical … Incentivized Helpful? Mike Mozola Senior Systems Engineer in Engineering at Integral Blue (Telecommunications, 51-200 employees) Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor I had some limited exposure to Zabbix that was provided by the client for monitoring the existing network. I found it not as informative as I previously experienced using ipMonitor and we were preparing for a network migration. I ended up setting up remote monitoring using … Incentivized Helpful? Paul Cheng IT Manager in Information Technology at Handel Architects (Architecture & Planning, 51-200 employees) Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor ipMonitor is easier to set up and is straightforward. The other products seem to require getting a bit more into the weeds to get everything to work correctly. It was more work than I was willing to do and opted to just go with an off-the-shelf solution that could get my … Incentivized Helpful? Brian Maull Network admin in Information Technology at F A Davis (Publishing, 51-200 employees) Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor We have been using IPMonitor for over a decade. We have looked at other products in the past, but none of them have provided enough reason to even consider switching. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor These are only a few of what we looked at, and at the end of the day it came down to cost, low footprint, and ease of use. I have suggested SolarWinds to anyone who asks what we use. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor I feel that ipMonitor does not provide the granularity or level of configuration we require for our teams. We actually are looking at other means of customizing our monitors using the products listed, which I think will provide my teams with the ability to create better alerts … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor IpMonitor is easy to set up and has a clear and easy reading interface. It's user-friendly for entry-level technicians. The price is good. However, for big enterprises, PRTG Network Monitor might be a better solution. Incentivized Helpful? Rob Bates Public & Private Cloud 4th Line Senior Engineer in Information Technology at Creditsafe (Financial Services, 1001-5000 employees) Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor There are some great free or low-cost tools out there. It all depends on your budget and size. We have used a wide variety of products over the years but we recently switched our entire monitoring backbone to SolarWinds products only. They cover just about everything and … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor We have not evaluated other products recently. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor SolarWinds ipMonitor is well thought out and includes many more advanced capabilities. Spiceworks functions in a more basic manner where the tools feel more entry level rather than for professional use. Incentivized Helpful? Jason Martin Managed Services Network Engineer in Information Technology at Comcast (Financial Services, 201-500 employees) Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor I've used simple scripted monitoring tools before, used IP monitor until we upgraded the enterprise to one scalable tool that can replace and upgrade per SLA SOX compliance standards. I moved to a larger company (much larger) and we don't use SolarWinds here. We use WUG which … Incentivized Helpful? Glen Nason Systems Engineer, Windows Server Support Group, Enterprise Technology Services in Information Technology at University of California Santa Barbara (Higher Education, 10,001+ employees) Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor Used ipMonitor for 7 years. Switched recently to Idera because of larger feature set and monitoring capabilities not available on IPmonitor. For tasks that both products can do, I still prefer IPmonitor. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor SolarWinds ipMonitor is an easier solution and allows for a rapid configuration change without all the extra bells and whistles that you can find in SolarWinds Orion. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor We used numerous free solutions that provide minimal and focused response. Solar Winds has a much larger scope in the resolutions it provides to us. Incentivized Helpful? Mike Maner Network Systems Engineer in Information Technology at Whitesell Group (Mechanical or Industrial Engineering, 501-1000 employees) Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor We have used Pasessler PRTG and ManageEngine OpsManager. Both are good products, but aren't really monitoring products, they are more management products with monitoring built in. The smaller footprint of ipMonitor, as well as the historical data storage options, were a better … Incentivized Helpful? Christian Gaarn System Administrator in Information Technology at The Weather Network (Broadcast Media, 201-500 employees) Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor We are currently switching from IpMonitor to Orion.
