Danbyte vs teemIP

Danbyte is an open-source IP address management, data-center infrastructure management and network source-of-truth platform. It tracks IP space, hardware, cabling, power, virtualization, monitoring and automation in one system. For IPAM, it calculates prefix containment, available space and utilization per VRF, and handles VLANs, DHCP ranges, DNS zones and route targets. Its DCIM tools model rack elevations, device faceplates, ports, power and virtual chassis. Network views include cable and fibre tracing, floor plans, circuits, VPN tunnels and wireless SSIDs. Proxmox VE and VMware vCenter imports cover virtual machines and related infrastructure, with drift reconciliation; active checks, SNMP and nmap discovery help maintain an observed layer. Automation options include Ansible and Terraform inventories, Jinja templates, signed webhooks and scoped APIs. Danbyte can run on user hardware, including fully air-gapped deployments, without telemetry or an expiring license. The free, self-hosted offer includes all features without seat licensing. The Linux quick installer bundles Python, Node and dependencies but requires PostgreSQL 15+ and Redis.

teemIP is an open-source IP address management solution for mapping, planning, and auditing an organization’s address plan. It manages IPv4 and IPv6 with DNS, DHCP, and NAT, and connects addresses to configuration items such as devices, services, sites, DNS records, reservations, and change requests. Teams can inspect subnet details in a hierarchical IP tree and handle address requests through tickets with assignment, tracking, and history. Role-based access control and logging support traceability for changes. A documented REST API and connectors integrate it with tools including iTop, GLPI, Jira, Centreon, Zabbix, Nagios, Lansweeper, AD/LDAP, VMware, Proxmox, Grafana, and Power BI. teemIP can be hosted on-premises or on sovereign cloud providers. The maker positions it as an inventory and network-mapping aid for NIS2 compliance. Community is free; Standard costs €500 a year, billed annually, with an annual commitment. Advanced active DNS/DHCP, high availability, and DNS security needs require scope validation.
