EMA™ Radar for DNS, DHCP, and IP Address Management (DDI) Evaluates Twelve Leading Solutions
New report offers a comprehensive buyer's guide for enterprise IT decision-makers seeking a new solution for these core network services
LAFAYETTE, Colo., Sept. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Enterprise Management Associates (EMA), a leading IT and data management analyst research and consulting firm, today announced the release of its latest Radar Report, "2025 EMA™ Radar for DNS, DHCP, and IP Address Management (DDI)." Authored by Shamus McGillicuddy, vice president of research covering network infrastructure and operations at EMA, the report provides an in-depth evaluation of 12 products from 10 vendors, equipping IT decision-makers with critical insights for selecting the right DDI solution.
DNS, DHCP, and IP address management (IPAM) are a set of core network services that enable modern network communications. Increasingly, enterprises adopt these services as an integrated DDI suite, with IPAM tools managing DNS and DHCP protocol servers. EMA's research highlights how hybrid and multi-cloud adoption is driving new levels of complexity across IP address space management and multi-vendor DNS, fueling innovation and reshaping enterprise DDI requirements.
The DDI market is highly mature, with many leading vendors having developed and refined their solutions for two to three decades. At the same time, several newer solutions are bringing fresh approaches and innovation to the space. As a result, most solutions available today are well-architected, feature-rich platforms that address the evolving needs of enterprise networks.
"DDI technology is essential to network resiliency, agility, and security. Legacy approaches that rely on spreadsheets, open source, and free software are no longer tenable in a world where complexity is spiking due to hybrid, multi-cloud architecture and rising security threats," said McGillicuddy. "Today's DDI vendors are investing heavily in automation, security, and analytics to empower network engineering teams. This report will help IT decision-makers understand the differences among today's leading DDI providers."
To evaluate the market landscape, EMA created a comprehensive questionnaire covering more than 30 key performance indicators (KPIs), along with dozens of supporting subcomponents. This process captured critical data on product capabilities, total cost of ownership, and vendor strength, enabling a rigorous, side-by-side comparison of industry solutions.
