The initial set up isn't complex, but will require someone who is experienced with the network monitoring system" Extra modules have to be purchased for each extra server. The database optimization can be done to improve the product performance." "If they did some type of synthetic monitoring, it would have been better." "The solution could improve in many areas, such as the marketing and description of the products, providing areas of improvement, cloud capabilities, and being able to be more streamlined with the current integration points with other applications." "It is difficult for stakeholders to translate technical requirements, which results in difficulties selecting a platform or implementing a solution." "The solution could be more secure." "Currently lacks integration with SMS services." "An area for improvement would be the use of modular licenses, which are not practical for big clients." "The product is scalable, but at a cost.

HelpSystems InterMapper is also very operator friendly not just user friendly, but also operator friendly. I see how our operators get so excited by having the ability to map a device or interface and connect interfaces together. When you have your SNMP topology defined, you don't require a dedicated NMS engineer to manage your system, which is another great thing about HelpSystems InterMapper. Right now, it is really a combination of network topology, network monitoring, and network analyzing. Ever since we started using HelpSystems InterMapper, we don't have to document everything in a detailed format and store it somewhere. HelpSystems Intermapper gives such a unique representation of a network. You can quickly determine whether it is the application layer, host layer, or network layer. You can also monitor services and actually see if anything happens. You can monitor the physical status of a host based on the IP availability. That's what really makes HelpSystems Intermapper great.Īnother great thing about HelpSystems InterMapper is that you can really bundle different probes under one device.
You can do it all from one network management and monitoring solution.
You can monitor IPs, routers, radios, DC power plants, and UPS. You, of course, can have more than one map, but you have an option to have visibility into the entire network from one centralized system. "What is really cool about HelpSystems InterMapper is that because of its SNMP base, you can integrate all different makes and models on the same map.
