Alternatives to Subnetly

{"intro": "Subnetly combines DNS, DHCP, IP address management, network discovery, and visibility in a SaaS platform backed by local agents. Its dashboard follows IP use and ownership, flags conflicts and orphaned addresses, and supports QBR exports. Agents discover hardware through ARP, SNMP, and ICMP, while AI insights identify capacity risks and configuration gaps. Subnet planning, audit history, APIs, and MSP controls for separating customers and sites extend its network-management scope. A free plan and trials are available, with paid plans starting at $49 per month.\n\nReaders may switch when they need a lower paid entry point, self-hosting, or a platform outside Subnetly’s API, iOS, Linux, web, and Windows choices. Subnetly’s free plan limits addresses, subnets, sites, agents, users, AI messages, and history, while integration access varies by tier. Compare how each alternative discovers and organizes networks, handles DNS and DHCP, supports automation, and deploys. Cloud inventory, broader diagnostics, physical-infrastructure records, open-source control, or multi-vendor security may outweigh Subnetly’s combined DDI and visibility approach.", "rows": [{"ref": "sw:tidal-lightmesh", "name": "Tidal LightMesh", "best_for": "Cloud-first IP planning and AWS/Azure inventory", "pricing": "Free plan; paid from $35/mo; 14-day trial", "key_difference": "LightMesh emphasizes cloud inventory, DHCP discovery, and visual planning rather than Subnetly’s agent-based DDI visibility.", "choose_when": "Choose it for AWS and Azure discovery, lower paid pricing, or self-hosted and macOS support."}, {"ref": "sw:manageengine-oputils", "name": "ManageEngine OpUtils", "best_for": "Network diagnostics, switch-port mapping, and Microsoft DDI", "pricing": "Free plan; paid from $138; 30-day trial", "key_difference": "OpUtils adds more than 30 network utilities, switch-port mapping, rogue-device detection, and ARP-spoofing alerts.", "choose_when": "Choose it when troubleshooting tools, Cisco integrations, or Microsoft DNS and DHCP management matter most."}, {"ref": "sw:gesti-ip", "name": "GestióIP", "best_for": "Automated IPv4/IPv6 IPAM with broad DNS and DHCP integration", "pricing": "Free plan; paid from €400/yr", "key_difference": "GestióIP is web-based, self-hosted IPAM with routing-table discovery, lease synchronization, zone-file generation, and a commercial API.", "choose_when": "Choose it for self-hosted control, detailed DNS/DHCP interoperability, or advanced subnet and address operations."}, {"ref": "sw:net", "name": ".NET", "best_for": "Azure network management across multiple clusters", "pricing": "Free up to 1,000 nodes; other plans have no price listed", "key_difference": ".NET offers multi-cluster management and autoscaling across Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android, unlike Subnetly’s DDI focus.", "choose_when": "Choose it when Azure network-manager billing options, multi-cluster management, or autoscaling fit your environment."}, {"ref": "sw:cygna-ddi", "name": "Cygna DDI", "best_for": "Multi-vendor DDI with flexible deployment and automation", "pricing": "Pricing on request", "key_difference": "Cygna DDI supports on-premises, cloud, or managed deployment with multi-vendor orchestration and DDI security controls.", "choose_when": "Choose it for appliance-based deployment, ServiceNow or Terraform automation, or DNS and DHCP threat visibility."}, {"ref": "sw:ipplan", "name": "IPplan", "best_for": "Free self-hosted IPAM with granular administration", "pricing": "Free plan", "key_difference": "IPplan is free, multilingual, self-hosted IPAM with overlapping-network support, customizable fields, and extensive authentication controls.", "choose_when": "Choose it when zero licensing cost, LDAP-compatible access, custom fields, or detailed audit logging are priorities."}, {"ref": "sw:obelinf", "name": "Obelinf", "best_for": "Infrastructure inventory, topology, racks, and cable tracking", "pricing": "Free plan; paid from $99/mo; 14-day trial", "key_difference": "Obelinf combines IPAM with DCIM, topology, racks, cables, VLAN/VRF modeling, and MCP assistant access.", "choose_when": "Choose it when physical infrastructure records, interactive topology, rack utilization, or AI-assisted updates exceed Subnetly’s scope."}]}
