ipMonitor’s Alert Escalation makes it easy to share responsibilities among administrators who have varying levels of responsibility. For example, you might configure Alert Escalation to first alert the on-call administrator, and only alert a back-up administrator if a monitor or group of monitors continues to fail.

"We installed the new license [of ipMonitor] last week and the first thing I did was create my own custom MIB database on the support site. It was easy and I didn't have to wait too long. Other apps, in the past mostly, would have required me to download the MIBs individually from each vendor's web site and load them manually - a long and tedious process. ipMonitor's process is the smoothest I've ever found."
