"Hello Intermapper My Old Friend"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Intermapper?

The Intermapper live maps are infinitely better than any static Visio diagram, they are dynamically updated and show the network topology as "it is" as apposed to how it was "designed". Intermapper is capable of display a large amount of information in an intuitive form on a small piece of screen real estate. In our office it is often the centerpiece of design and planning conversations. Changes to the network are visible in 30 seconds resulting in fast trouble diagnosis. Additionally, the Flows component allows for layer 4 traffic identification to determine which machines and applications are consuming bandwidth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Intermapper?

User permissions must be set per map, there is way to group users but no way to group maps so if you have many users and many maps with different security needs it can be extremely difficult to keep the permissions straight.

I wish there was a way to curve the lines... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Intermapper:

Give it a try. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Intermapper solving and how is that benefiting you?

This product aids in troubleshooting network issues quickly. Before the phone rings or a trouble ticket is created, our staff is alerted to any issue by Intermapper's notification, emails and/or text messages. In one glance Intermapper answers the first 10 questions that a network admin would ask when trouble arises. The Flows component is capable of generating easy to read PDF bandwidth reports that can be handed directly to management to drive decision making. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intermapper is the first tool I deploy at every job I go into"

5/5

What do you like best about Intermapper?

Live graphical interface with WYSIWYG style live maps has saved me from updating dated VISIO diagrams. I can spot and resolve Layer 2 network problems using Intermapper at a much quicker pace than with any other tool I've used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Intermapper?

Intermapper has improved over the years. They've added a queriable database for SNMP data as well as Netflow. I wish they could add more features to the Netflow component so that you can query data in a more robust fashion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good but needs to be more DevOps focused"

3/5

What do you like best about Intermapper?

Intermapper has come a long way, but it's main feature IMHO are the maps. Although they are manually configured (realistically), they can be nice and are a much cheaper alternative to things like OpenView etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Intermapper?

The pricing model is almost a deal killer in a large-scale production operations environment. Since you need to pay full-price for every new instance of the software, it makes testing/QA/deployment environments difficult to scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Intermapper:

Commit to spending some cash on multiple instances if you need any kind of development environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Intermapper solving and how is that benefiting you?

It does a good job at visualization and we have it up on the SOC front wall. Customers like it a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good product, and good customer service. "

3.5/5

What do you like best about Intermapper?

For those that want service monitoring, but don't want to deal with nagios, or zabbix, this is definitely a good product. Also has probes that neither of those other options have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Intermapper?

Cost. The feeling that I when I request features they never seem to get implemented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Intermapper:

If you're looking to start service monitoring, I would suggest starting with a free product, unless you know you want a GUI to do all your management. We've been using Intermapper for years, and the cost of switching at this time is just too high. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Intermapper solving and how is that benefiting you?

Service availability monitoring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Awesome Network Monitoring Utility"

5/5

What do you like best about Intermapper?

Ease of Use and It's so precise !

We had serious network issue and consistent outage,

and We could NOT find the cause for the issue as our network stack is complex.

We were using couple of traditional motioning frameworks, But NO use with that.

One of our folk suggested intermapper, and we were tried it,

and It helped us to find the cause for network issue.

It's an awesome network utility and every company must have it.

I strongly recommend this product.

Thanks,
