Ray, Overall, M&M has worked quite nicely for us. The CLI leaves a lot to be desired though and we have found several bugs in the application throughout the past several years (who doesn't have bugs, though?). I have also had a hard time getting someone on their Sales team to answer my questions lately. I do really like the fact that it doesn't require some third party appliance and it can run alongside BIND.
At this point - I'm just looking to see what else is available in this same space (Infoblox, Bluecat, etc). Any feedback from users of these various platforms is appreciated! (apologies for the top-post) Thanks, Josh -----Original Message----- From: Ray Van Dolson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, April 28, 2014 12:35 PM To: Baird, Josh Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: Enterprise IPAM/DNS Solutions On Mon, Apr 28, 2014 at 04:31:28PM +0000, Baird, Josh wrote: > Hi, > > We currently use the Men & Mice DNS/IPAM/DHCP suite which is > essentially a front-end "wrapper" for BIND.

We've looked at BlueCat recently and my recollection is that it required their DNS appliances. Quite costly and in our case, overkill. M&M has worked pretty well for us, but we're a corporate type use case, not a provider or ISP.
