Solarwinds NPM vs UDT

Hi all,

We are budgeting for Solarwinds config manager and the network performance monitor for alerting / monitoring. I have a question about NPM and its ability to perform basic searches, like where is this IP and on what port / vlan is it? I am not sure how clunky the interface is.

Do we need to get a 3rd tool like user device tracker or the switch port mapping tool to perform these basic functions? Will NPM be able to search the whole network for a specific mac address or IP and report what port and building and switch that it is in (with relative ease)?

Sorry, we are in the middle of a few projects so I will not be able to trial for a few weeks. Just looking to get a little input.

Thank you!
