RackTables vs teemIP

RackTables is a free, web-based datacenter asset management system for documenting equipment, network addresses, rack space, and network configuration. It tracks devices, racks, and enclosures, and lets users mount devices in racks. Racks can be organized into rows so teams can check available capacity and mark unusable rack units. For network records, RackTables manages IP addresses and networks, documents NAT rules, and stores load-balancing policies and configurations. Users can maintain device ports and the links between them. Flexible tags and filtering rules help organize and retrieve hardware, while files can be attached to system objects. Accounts and permissions control which actions users may perform. RackTables is an on-premises PHP application accessed through a browser with an internet connection. The project identifies version 0.22.0 as its latest stable release. It provides a mailing list and bug tracker; issue reports are public by default but can be made private.

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.
