Our review
Pros	Combines centralized IPAM with DNS and DHCP service management. Automates network resource discovery and policy-driven provisioning. Offers API and integrations for orchestration, monitoring and security tools.	Supports IP/MPLS edge, gateway, NAT, route reflector, and VPN functions. Deploys as a virtual network function or container network function. Offers multi-node resiliency and scales with added CPU and memory.
Cons	Pricing is contact-sales, so evaluation includes a sales step. Device, VLAN, route and port management relies on NetChange integration. Its mid-market and enterprise focus may not suit smaller network environments.	Focuses on virtualized routing services, not IP address management. Pricing is available through sales rather than published plan prices. Scaling requires additional CPU and memory resources.
