Gives me a lot of abilities to manage my IP network. > > **Cons**: Too many settings, didn't seem to have a basic user interface as opposed to having an advanced only user interface. Too many options for the layman. > > My techs love this software. it is run with Windows startup and their preferences and watched IP's load quickly and efficiently. They give anything SolarWinds a great big fat thumbs up\! I on the other hand only know the basics of it, and know it gives me exactly what I want in regards to IP Monitoring on my desktop. (mind you my tech had to set it up for me...) ----- ### "ipMonitor no longer an enterprise product" — 5.0/5 > **Jack** | *10 March 2020* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: The NOC UI is one of the most intuitive and actionable when configured correctly. Inexperienced NOC techs can quickly become proficient at responding to alerts or status changes with this system. > > **Cons**: The limitation on the number of monitors is problematic for all but the smaller end of the SMB market. I expect this change was implemented to drive customers to the Orion suite, which is much more costly and time-intensive to administer. > > When it was unhindered by the 500 monitor limitation, this was the best NOC product I've used to date. It was easy to configure, easy to monitor and act upon monitor status changes, and it required little administrative overhead once initialized. Now, with the limitations discussed above, it's relegated to an entry-level product for startups and small businesses. ----- ### "IPMonitor is a decent server monitoring solution" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *18 February 2020* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: It was easy to keep track of server status' It had alarms you could set to go off if a server was having issues. > > **Cons**: The interface was dated and clunky to use. It would throw a lot of false alarms sometimes. > > I used this software from about 2005-2016. It was effective, but could definitely use some UI changes as it didn't really change much at all in the time I was using it. It was really good and detailed when it came down to identifying problems and running reports, but could throw some false alarms from time-to-time. I would recommend this if the price is reasonable, but could also have a learning curve for new users that is not ideal. ----- ### "IPMonitor" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *20 December 2018* | Wholesale | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: IPMonitor is extremely easy to set up and configure and is ideal for small companies that do not want to spend a lot of money for a network monitoring product > > **Cons**: The one feature I find that is missing is an easy method to purge out historic data that is no longer needed or valid. > > We have been using IP Monitor for the past 10+ years to monitor our IT Infrastructure (routers, switches, servers, etc). IP Monitor can be configured to generate alerts and a wide variety of reports ----- ### "SolarWinds Monitoring your IP's" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *20 December 2018* | Computer Networking | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of Installation and configuration Great Dashboards Great Reporting > > **Cons**: can take a lots of time to probe a huge network to discover the connected devices and configure the required monitors Cost is bit high in comparison with competitors Can monitor only 500 networked devices > > ipMonitor's new management features make it easier to control and monitor large complex networks and to pinpoint issues in a timely manner. There's little to choose between ipMonitor and WhatsUp Gold for smaller networks, and either will do a good job. If you don't need WhatsUp Gold's scalability and ability to monitor distributed networks then ipMonitor is a good choice. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2049515/ipmonitor?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2049515/ipmonitor) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | ----- ## Structured Data
