I’ve both been exposed to newer and better tools - and been annoyed at the noise - in NANOG for almost 2 decades now.

So far phpipam has suited our needs.  However it takes quite a few clicks to get things done, and anytime you can 
remove friction you have an opportunity for a better product.

I agree with Phil, Netbox is a great opens source IPAM project. We currently use ManageEngine, but I plan to switch 
to Netbox when our current license is up for renewal. NetBox. The project is supported by Digital Ocean, which is the 
kind of corporate sponsorship that keeps open source project from dying out.
 
It’s one of the few IPAM products that recognizes that IP addresses can be assigned to interfaces on a device, not 
necessarily the device itself. It also supports interfaces having multiple IP addresses. Netbox uses Postgres under 
the covers, which has IP addresses as a native data type. That means you can also build your own SQL queries to 
interface with other systems.
 
The tool is not frilly, but has all the features an IPAM should have for accurate and timely resource management. 
Plus the code looks clean.

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