What are people using for IPAM these days?

It’s some blood, sweat, and tears. I helped on a migration from IPPlan to Infoblox for a Fortune 5 company years ago, and it was a LOT of data, and it was painful. Lots of CSV exports and scripts to do conversions to get data in a state where it could be imported to Infoblox properly.

Ok, it wasn’t *that* horrible but it was a bit of a heavy lift. There’s no magic “import” button.
