Lets focus on the technology. Netbox is solid. I am leaning towards this
since its open source and there is some librenms integration.

I was using another product till few days ago (i won’t mention name) i am
not happy and decided to go with something open source

Todd,

I don’t think this is a reasonable understanding of Nanog. Nanog members
ask each other for operational tool recommendations all the time, and since
these products are right up the alley of Nanog’s mission — network
operations — it’s a perfectly reasonable use of Nanog.

But you read a single comment without researching any Nanog history, which
would immediately show you how frequently Nanog serves in just this kind of
valuable role, THAT’S unkind.

i don't think that this is a reasonable use of nanog.  if you have
research to present and then a question to ask, that's totally great.  this
is especially true if you can add evaluative criteria and information
before asking questions from people who have relevant experience.

you read a single web page and are asking nanog to do your homework for
you.  that's unkind and is taking advantage of the attention and goodwill
of the community here.  this is becoming a pattern.  please either do some
research yourself and start a conversation substantively, or look to paid
consultants to evaluate your software/hardware/datacenter space/networking
gear etc.

best,

What have you evaluated so far?  Can you share your evaluation grid, how
you selected the candidates, how you are weighting criteria and specific
interesting findings so far?

Thanks!

Looking for IPAM recommendations, preferably open source, API is a plus
(almost must, almost..). 40-50K IPs to be managed.

thanks in advance.
