Wed, November 18, 2009 SolarWinds ipMonitor Helps Users New to Monitoring Get Visibility Into Their Applications and Networks
AUSTIN, TX--(Marketwire - November 18, 2009) - SolarWinds® (
"Companies of all sizes need visibility into their applications and networks, but most do not have the time or budget to deploy complex products. While other network management players are trying to make their products more complex with functionality that new users do not need or understand, SolarWinds continues to keep the focus on delivering easy-to-use solutions that address the real-world needs of IT pros. ipMonitor is a robust solution to help simplify the task of status monitoring with no unnecessary fuss." - Sanjay Castelino, senior director of product marketing, SolarWinds.
SolarWinds ipMonitor delivers out-of-the-box, "up/down" monitoring for applications, networks and servers, in a single, integrated solution. The all-in-one package includes a built-in database and Web server, and a one-size-fits-all license with no device limitations. In addition to its ease-of-use, SolarWinds ipMonitor customers reported they chose it over competitors -- like WhatsUp Gold and Zoho's ManageEngine -- for its price, functionality, and breadth of support for networks, applications and servers.
"There is still a demand for affordable, easy to use, basic IP monitoring tools. Sometimes an open source solution is not a good fit or the situation does not require all the bells and whistles of a full-featured network management suite. In those cases, a tool such as SolarWinds ipMonitor is a strong option to consider.
"Given today's diverse network management needs, it is critical for companies such as SolarWinds, that have a strong footing and connection with the network and applications management community, to continue to provide solutions that meet the needs and budgets of any network engineer." - Tracy Corbo, independent industry analyst.
