We performed a comparison between BlueCat Integrity and SolarWinds IPAM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IP Address Management (IPAM) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."One of the better things about Integrity is that the underlying code it uses is an ISC DNS and DHCP. It's not like some of the other vendors that have created their own version of DNS."
"I've been impressed by BlueCat's performance and user-friendly GUI."
"Managing our BDI infrastructure globally is simple, and BlueCat's personalized relationship with us is valuable to our organization."
"BlueCat Integrity provides us with flexibility and visibility that we did not have before."
"The most valuable features are scalability and cloud infrastructure."
"The most significant advantage of BlueCat is its foundation on open-source software, specifically BIND and ISC DHCP."
"Adaptive DNS's best feature is DDoS protection, which stops malware and network security attacks."
"It's a critical infrastructure piece. This is where all the IPs are named for the whole organization. It's a big deal. It has all the features related to DNS and DHCP. It's pretty amazing."
"The product is user-friendly and valuable."
"SolarWinds IPAM is a simple and user-friendly tool."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"I like the option to keep all of the available and used IPAM addresses in the central organization."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It takes about half a day, and it can be done by one engineer."
"I am impressed with the product's reports."
"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."
"Its setup is simple. Its interface is simple. It's very easy to manage."
"The UI is outdated and needs a modern refresh."
"When you replace an appliance, there are many configuration steps, so adding zero-touch provisioning would be helpful. It can be quite tedious and time-consuming to replace a device if it fails or deploy a new one."
"Usability needs to be better."
"The ease of use is where I got to give a little knock on them. Once you start using the tool, it becomes very easy. It's actually quite easy to use. The problem that I run into is documentation. The documentation could be a little bit richer. Documentation has always been a little pet peeve for me with them."
"While the product is IPAM, DNS, and DHCP, it does provide NTP functionality, but one of the things that they have yet to correct or catch up with is NTP authentication. There are new standards being pushed out and they are lagging a little bit in supporting them."
"The technical support is slow and has room for improvement."
"Adaptive DNS only supports AWS for network automation and cloud computing and would be improved if it also supported other options like Azure or Google Cloud."
"During our testing phase, we encountered some issues with Active Directory and DNS reverse lookups."
"From any improvement perspective, SolarWinds IPAM should consider working on the area where the tool lacks, which is its network management capabilities."
"Some processes are a little bit bumpy. The solution needs a design refresh."
"I would like more updates."
"They should provide more details on the full stack feature. It needs to be integrated with the hypervisor."
"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."
"The product needs to improve its support. The response time is long and not very helpful."
"SolarWinds IPAM offers premium support, but the customer has to pay more money, and then they will have minimal response times."
"Sometimes we have to wait for screens to load, so faster operations would be better."
