Kubernesis DDI vs teemIP

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.

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.
