Hi,

We were going through the same process last year.
Among the free ipam solutions, we selected phpipam and nipap.
For simplicity reasons we decided to implement phpipam

But 6 months later I can say the following:
Phpipam is missing one important feature that Service Providers need:
Being able to allocate prefixes from a pool, and add address space to a pool.

Phpipam is very static in this regard and only manages usage at the ip level.
So even if you allocate a /28 to a customer the usage will be 0% if you do not 
reserve every single IP in this range.
>From a service provider view you really want to avoid micro-managing single ip 
>addresses.

Nipap answers this requirement.


Both tools are pure IPAM solution and won't manage your DCHP/DNS (as far as I 
know)
Both have APIs so integration with DNS/DHCP could be scripted.
Phpipam has discovery, Nipap doesn't (but it's the version 2.0 roadmap)
Phpipam's database is very simple so if you have an existing IP plan, let's say 
in excel, you'l be able to easily import it.



Hope this helps,
Eric

Hi Dear

There is a IPAM software from manageengine.

https://www.manageengine.com/products/oputils/ip-address-manager.html

https://www.manageengine.com/products/oputils/demo/ip-address-manager/ip-address-management-demo.html

Is there any comparative for these products?

Hi,

You may want to have a look at the following IPAM software :  
http://spritelink.github.io/NIPAP/

Open Source .. I'm pretty sure it requires a Linux setup.. but it is one you 
should have a look at.. it supports both IPv4 and IPv6.
Due to the usage of the PostgreSQL DB, the IPv6 support is native.

Have fun.
