IPAM on iTop
TeemIP vs Obelinf
IPAM and DDI documentation vs managed infrastructure documentation
TeemIP is a free IPAM and DDI documentation platform built on the iTop framework. Obelinf combines IPAM and DCIM in a managed platform without requiring you to operate the application stack.
The stack you skip.
TeemIP runs on a PHP server and MySQL database that you deploy, secure, patch, and back up yourself, whether standalone or as an iTop extension.
Obelinf is a managed platform with no server to patch and no database to back up. You sign up and start documenting.
IPAM with the full picture.
TeemIP covers the fundamentals: IPv4 and IPv6 address management, subnets and ranges, VLANs and VRFs, DNS zones, DHCP scopes, and request workflows for IP allocation.
Obelinf connects IP management with infrastructure context: subnets, addresses, devices, racks, interfaces, and physical relationships in one model.
A modern interface your team will actually use.
TeemIP inherits the iTop admin-style interface, which is powerful but form-heavy and built around configuration rather than daily use.
Obelinf is fast, keyboard-driven, and updated continuously: a command palette jumps to any entity type, full-text search works across every entity and attribute, and results are connected.
More than addresses.
TeemIP is an IPAM and DDI documentation tool. It links IPs to configuration items in iTop, but it does not render your network topology or track racks, cables, and circuits as first-class objects.
Obelinf pairs IPAM with the rest of infrastructure documentation in one system, so the address, the device, and the cable all live together.
Every change, recorded automatically.
TeemIP provides audit and change history through the iTop framework, but a complete, always-on infrastructure changelog with field-level diffs is not its focus.
Obelinf's changelog records every create, update, and delete with the user, timestamp, and field-level diffs, with no configuration and no extra tooling.
Predictable pricing. No infrastructure bill.
TeemIP has a free Community edition, with paid editions for professional support and custom work. Either way, you supply and maintain the PHP and MySQL stack yourself.
Obelinf starts with a free Personal plan for homelabs and small setups, with paid plans at $99 and $299 per month for teams. There is no per-user or per-device scaling.
Who should choose TeemIP?
TeemIP is still the better choice if:
- You already run iTop and want the integration
- You need deep DDI documentation workflows
- You have PHP and MySQL expertise on staff
- You prefer self-hosted data ownership
Obelinf is a better fit if:
- You want SaaS deployment
- You need topology and DCIM alongside IPAM
- You want automatic updates and backups
- You want a managed platform with no stack to run
Moving from TeemIP to Obelinf
Use the TeemIP REST API to pull your subnets, IP addresses, VLANs, VRFs, and DNS records. The relational mapping to Obelinf is straightforward.
Bring the data in through the REST API or CSV import. Verify counts match before you point anything at the new system.
Set up your organization and assign roles so everyone lands with the right permissions from day one.
There is no infrastructure to deploy, so the switch is immediate. Your team gets a modern interface, automatic changelogs, and search across everything.
