GestióIP

Overview

GestióIP is web-based IP address management software for keeping IPv4 and IPv6 networks organized, with automated discovery and subnet-planning tools. It is best suited to network teams that can manage a self-hosted deployment or want a pre-installed cloud instance. Its free core covers substantial IPAM work, while the API and device-configuration management are paid additions.

Key features

GestióIP discovers networks from Layer III routing tables and finds hosts through ping, DNS, SNMP, and DHCP lease processing. That range of inputs can reduce dependence on manual address records, though teams still need to choose and maintain their discovery sources. Secure dynamic DNS updates work with Microsoft DNS, BIND, and other DNS products using TSIG or GSS-TSIG; lease synchronization supports ISC DHCPD, ISC KEA, Microsoft DHCP server, and generic lease files.

For planning and troubleshooting, one-click ping and DNS A/PTR checks sit alongside free-range display, subnet split and join operations, a subnet calculator, and a hierarchical IPv6 addressing-plan builder. Excel import and CSV export help move records in and out, while BIND and tinydns forward and reverse zone-file generation connects IPAM data to DNS workflows. The web interface needs no additional client software, a practical advantage for teams using different devices.

The commercial API provides CRUD operations and advanced actions such as finding or reserving the first free network or IP address. The optional Configuration Management Module backs up and restores device configurations, runs commands across multiple devices, and keeps configuration history with diffs and search. These additions extend GestióIP beyond address management, but they make it a less complete choice for organizations expecting those capabilities in the free core.

Teams can install from SourceForge packages or use Docker Compose deployment files and instructions. GestióIP Cloud offers a pre-installed SaaS instance intended as an alternative to on-premise installation and ready to use in one day. Cloud access is VPN-secured through a browser; instances use dedicated virtual servers, automatic database backups, and selectable DigitalOcean data-center regions. This reduces setup work, though cloud subscriptions and the self-hosted package suit different operating preferences.

Pricing

The standard GestióIP IPAM package is free software under GPLv3, with a listed price of no cost. A free trial is also offered. The core is the sensible starting point for teams focused on discovery, address tracking, subnet planning, and DNS or DHCP coordination.

The Configuration Management Module is priced by device capacity, with each license billed for one year: up to 50 devices costs $400 a year; up to 100 costs $700 a year; up to 500 costs $1,500 a year; up to 1000 costs $2,800 a year; and up to 2500 costs $5,000 a year. Smaller environments can pay for a lower cap, while larger fleets need a higher tier. These prices are for configuration management; the API is also commercial, but its price is custom pricing.

Commercial support includes email or telephone support with guaranteed response times, and cloud subscriptions include email support. The main cost distinction is clear: core IPAM is free, but device-configuration management and API access are not part of that free package.

Platforms

GestióIP supports Linux, Windows, web access, API, and self-hosted deployment. Its hybrid deployment model accommodates on-premise use as well as the GestióIP Cloud option. Because the interface is browser-based, users do not need a separate client application.

Who it's for

Choose GestióIP if you need IPAM that spans IPv4 and IPv6, want discovery tied to routing, DNS, SNMP, or DHCP data, and value built-in subnet-planning and DNS workflows. It is particularly compelling for teams comfortable running their own software and looking for a broad free core. The cloud option is a better fit for teams that want a pre-installed instance; organizations that need configuration backups, multi-device commands, or API automation should account for paid additions.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Free GPLv3 core includes discovery, address tracking, IPv6 planning, and DNS and DHCP integrations, making it useful well beyond a bare address register.
• Pros: Browser access and self-hosted or cloud deployment give teams a choice between operating the installation themselves and using a pre-installed service.
• Cons: The API and Configuration Management Module are commercial features, so teams needing automation or device-configuration workflows must budget separately.
• Cons: Module licenses have annual device caps, from 50 through 2500 devices, which may require a higher-priced tier as a fleet grows.

Alternatives

phpIPAM is another free, self-hosted open-source IP address management option; consider it if you want an alternative to GestióIP's IPAM package. Scanopy may suit teams that want a free self-hosted community edition capped at one network and one user seat, or a Starter plan at $11.99 a month billed yearly. LOGINventory offers a Forever-Free tier for up to 20 devices, making it worth considering when a small device cap is sufficient.

Open Network Diagram is a free, self-hosted Docker deployment under GNU GPL v3. Danbyte is a free and open-source alternative with all features included, no seat license, no enterprise tier, and no license expiry. Nautobot offers a self-managed Community edition for exploring, initial workflows, and limited production deployments. Obelinf has a free Personal plan capped at one user, one organization, one site, four racks, and 30 devices, which may fit a small inventory. ITFlow is free and self-hosted, with hosting and sponsor support as paid services.

Verdict

GestióIP is a strong choice for network teams seeking free, self-hosted IPAM with broad discovery, DNS and DHCP integration, and useful IPv4 and IPv6 planning tools. Its central trade-off is that API access and device-configuration management cost extra; look elsewhere if those are essential and need to be included without a separate commercial module.
