Kubernesis DDI vs Subnetly

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.

Subnetly is a hybrid SaaS DDI platform for DNS, DHCP, IP address management, network discovery, and network visibility. Its dashboard records IP use and ownership, identifies conflicts and orphaned addresses, and can export QBR data. Local agents manage authoritative DNS zones and DHCP scopes, with a SaaS console coordinating records and configurations. Agents scan active network segments using ARP, SNMP, and ICMP to build a hardware asset registry. Subnetly says its AI insights can identify capacity risks and configuration gaps as well as address issues. Deployment options include Docker, Kubernetes/Helm, Windows Server, and a Linux daemon. The company says agents communicate outbound over HTTPS or TLS without open inbound ports or VPN tunnels. REST APIs and monitoring webhooks support third-party automation, though access varies by paid tier. MSP controls cover customer and site separation, technician roles, and audit records. A free plan is available; paid plans start at $49 a month. Starter and Pro include 14-day trials, Business has a 21-day trial, and signup requires no credit card.
