IP Address Management Software Again

Hi,

I'm evaluating IP address management software. Looking for the
following:

1) Pointers to online reviews.
2) Views on what is the absolute best package out there.
3) Views on useful free software if it's worth considering.
4) Contact info of sales persons of commerical software.
5) Insights on processes followed to manage addressing.
6) Also specifically looking for software that aids in re-IP-ing
portions
    of a network.
7) Strong views on particular packages that drove you nuts. (offline
emails may be best)

If I get enough info together, I'll post a follow-up compilation email.

I've looked at past threads on NANOG concerning this topic and
see only bits/pieces of what I am looking for. Hoping to obtain a
more comprehensive set of data.

Thanks!

There's a web seminar coming up at http://www.vaticor.com next week. It seems like it will answer a lot of your questions.

I personally have a lot of experience with QIP - so if you're looking for some feedback on that product then let me know.

Chris

MeeToo.

My initial comment is that these systems require a firm commitment
from the organisation to be using them, being as they are all-or-nothing
systems. Once that is sorted out, and required competence found,
(contrary to popular salesperson talk, these systems do not run by
themselves) most systems will work well.
