It is for medium - large enterprise and provides lots of monitoring options. Incentivized Helpful? Nikhil Kumar Sharma Associate Consultant 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 Anonymous 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.

Mike Mozola Senior Systems Engineer Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor I had some limited exposure to Zabbix that was provided by the client for monitoring the existing network.

PC Paul Cheng IT Manager Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor ipMonitor is easier to set up and is straightforward.

BM Brian Maull Network admin Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor We have been using IPMonitor for over a decade.

Jason Martin Managed Services Network Engineer 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.

GN Glen Nason Systems Engineer, Windows Server Support Group, Enterprise Technology Services Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor Used ipMonitor for 7 years.

User Testimonials
	SolarWinds ipMonitor	Qligent Vision
Likelihood to Recommend	SolarWinds ipMonitor is very easy to set-up and use, but can be quite slow to execute. Therefore, I don't think it will work in a medium-to-large organisation. Also, the interface is not suited for 100s of devices. The customisibility could also be better, so enterprises that require strict branding rules need to look elsewhere.

Pros	Both network devices and servers may be easily located on the network. It notifies the user whenever any network device undergoes a change in status. Powerful reporting capabilities that provide vital data about your network's devices (uptime, space, utilization of resources on your devices) Incentivized Anil Singh Director Read full review	No answers on this topic
Cons	It is a very complete and versatile software, but its price can be somewhat high for small companies. During the analysis of the collected data the process can be somewhat slow, so it takes more time than expected. Its configuration process can be somewhat complex since it requires several configurations so having prior knowledge is helpful. Incentivized Emma Jones Smith Senior Software Engineering Read full review	No answers on this topic
Likelihood to Renew	I have very few pieces of software, that are specific to IT and IT services, that just work. Honestly, I don't need the support as it never breaks, but I believe in rewarding vendors that make valuable products Incentivized Mike Maner Network Systems Engineer Read full review	No answers on this topic
Usability	Although SolarWinds ipMonitor is great tool to start the SaaS based monitoring journey with SolarWinds products but it still requires a lot of enhancement and its user base which is primarily using on-premises products of SolarWinds needs to be shifted on SaaS based platform strategically and need to motivate. ipMonitor needs to be interated with infra monitoring products such as On-Premises NAM bundle, SAM, DPA etc Incentivized Nikhil Kumar Sharma Associate Consultant Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	Overall experience with SolarWinds support team is good. We never faced any delays or issues with the support team, they are knowledgeable or at least documentation is available to them I guess . Direct phone support is also nice and better than opening a support ticket in the system. Sometimes logs analysis take a lot of time and it seems support team is buying some time to fix the issue or to do more research on the issues but that is fine.

Alternatives Considered	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 world with these small scale monitoring tools such as Loggly, ipmonitor, AppOptics which is a good sign to enter the SaaS based monitoring solution. Incentivized Rekha Yadav Development Team Lead Read full review	No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	Cost was much higher than the services ipMonitor was well suited but the costing factor wasn't justified as there are tons of open-source tools available in the market with more functionalities Alerts response was very good and ipMonitor served well with health checks.
