ANTlabs Tru'IP vs Kubernesis DDI

ANTlabs Tru’IP combines DHCP, DNS and IP address management for telcos, ISPs, service providers and large network infrastructure teams. DHCP handles IPv4 and IPv6 with dynamic or static assignment, policy-based allocation, lease management and active-active clustering. DNS supports authoritative, recursive and forwarding modes, centralized records, DNS views, DNSSEC and record balancing. IPAM tracks available, reserved and allocated prefixes and shows subnet utilization and duplicate-subnet visibility inside Tru’IP CMS rather than as a standalone appliance. The CMS centralizes cluster configuration, monitoring, reporting, diagnostics, logs and patch maintenance, with REST, WebSocket, API, CLI, SNMP and alert integrations. Security listings include packet-integrity validation, DNSSEC, role administration and audit trails. Physical and virtual appliance deployments are offered. Published tiers include DHCP 5400 capacity up to 30 million prefixes and five million active leases; DNS 5400 lists up to three million records. Pricing is on request.

Kubernesis DDI provides managed DHCP, DNS, and IP address management across headquarters, branches, cloud, and remote sites. One console handles scopes, ranges, exclusions, reservations, and options for IPv4 and IPv6. New leases automatically create matching address and DNS records, while expired leases are released. Critical scopes can run on server pairs that continue issuing and renewing leases after one server fails, and large branches can use local DHCP during WAN outages. A REST API creates scopes and reservations in provisioning workflows. Lease history retains MAC address, hostname, and device type associations; unknown devices can be flagged, and lease records can be forwarded to a SIEM. Deployment supports high-availability appliances or virtual installations across on-premises and cloud environments. Kubernesis can import Windows DHCP or ISC DHCP configurations and perform staged cutovers with rollback. Integrations include identity providers, SIEMs, service-management tools, cloud platforms, hypervisors, and network vendors. Operations are covered by an agreed SLA with engineers in Gurugram, India. Pricing is on request.
