Manages integrated IP and DHCP with ease and could improve with better alert customization and faster support response
I normally do not have other tools experience to compare with, but with SolarWinds IPAM, they actually integrate with the DHCP DNS server, allowing us to get the scopes, and from there, we can retrieve the information, which is a good feature for managing the DNS DHCP server. The automated discovery feature of SolarWinds IPAM is fine, but I am unable to compare it with other products from different vendors due to my lack of experience with them. It starts with discovery, and we can discover things through the gateway router or even subnet, so supernet, which is possible and a good feature. The benefit of integrated DHCP and DNS management in SolarWinds IPAM is significant. It can gather proper information such as MAC addresses from the DHCP server, so having DHCP and DNS servers integrated is vital to get complete information, otherwise some details may be missed. I commonly use the centralized dashboard for multiple products in SolarWinds IPAM. SolarWinds IPAM effectively helps resolve IP address conflicts. The centralized dashboard has significantly helped resolve IP address conflicts. SolarWinds IPAM has provided a centralized dashboard for a long time now rather than requiring separate management of individual features such as managing IP addresses across separate subnets, which used to be very difficult. Nowadays, there are tools to manage them easily, integrating them with the DHCP server, DNS server, and even IP request-related functionality, which helps a lot in management.

Pros

"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpUtils is the ease of use. Additionally, the IP address and port switch management, and twenty more tools for discovering networks and administrative management for Cisco devices are beneficial."
"SolarWinds IPAM is a simple and user-friendly tool."
"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."
"I would recommend this solution for all companies that have to deal with a lot of networks."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It takes about half a day, and it can be done by one engineer."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The product is user-friendly and valuable."
"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, and additionally, it is adaptable, IT managers enjoy it, and it is high quality."
 

Cons

"ManageEngine OpUtils could improve by offering a cloud version of the solution. It is important to have cloud solutions. It is important to have someone with network knowledge to use the solution."
"SolarWinds IPAM offers premium support, but the customer has to pay more money, and then they will have minimal response times."
"In terms of improving their technical support, it should focus on response time. SolarWinds directly seems to have response issues, and as a vendor, we are supporting quickly, but when we go to the direct SolarWinds support, the response is slow, so that needs to be improved."
"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."
"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."
"SolarWinds IPAM offers premium support, but the customer has to pay more money, and then they will have minimal response times."
"Because I'm still not able to utilize my IPAM on the AWS cloud environment, I would rate it a 7 out of 10, but I'm happy with it on the on-prem side."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of ManageEngine OpUtils is inexpensive. The pricing model they use is billed for the number of IP addresses or hardware you use."
"I would rate the product's pricing a six out of ten."
"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."
"On a scale of one to five, where one is high and five is good, I would rate this solution as a four."
"It's on the costlier side. It's expensive."
"The product is costly."
