Methodology

Four product types

DCIM is a broad label. A rack documentation tool and a live power monitor both carry it, and they solve different problems. Every product sits in one type, and the tabs above the table split them:

Full suites 13

Assets, space, power and cooling capacity, and change or work-order management in one product. Most add live monitoring.

Monitoring 8

Live power and environmental readings from PDUs, UPS, meters, sensors and cooling units, with alarms and trends.

Specialist tools 4

One job done in depth that feeds a DCIM: RFID asset tracking (RF Code), thermal optimization (EkkoSense), network monitoring with rack and floor views (ManageEngine).

Open source 4

Source code under an open-source licence, free to self-host. Commercial editions of the same project (NetBox Cloud) are noted on the product page.

Products that do more than one job keep the detail in their product focus field (Modius OpenData is a full suite with monitoring built in).

Sources and dates

Each value comes from the vendor’s own product page, datasheet, price list or documentation, or from a named trade source such as DatacenterDynamics or the Uptime Institute. Every product page lists its sources with the date we read them, and each value links to the page that states it. A feature counts as Yes only when the vendor documents it. A dash marks a detail the vendor leaves unpublished.

Prices

List prices are the vendor’s public US prices, in the vendor’s own unit: per cabinet, node, asset, device, object or footprint. Where a vendor publishes no price, the starting price column stays empty and the pricing unit still shows how the product is counted. Quote-only products show their pricing unit and an empty price.

Products left out, and why

• Vertiv Trellis: discontinued. Support for existing contracts ended in 2023 (Uptime Institute). Vertiv’s current software, Environet Alert and Vertiv Unify, is in the table.
• Siemens Datacenter Clarity LC: no Siemens material newer than 2021, and Siemens now lists FNT Data Center Management on siemens.com. Review sites still list Clarity LC.
• Rackwise DCiM X: joins the table once rackwise.com is back online and confirms the product is on sale.
• ServiceNow: no first-party DCIM product. Tier44 EM/8 builds DCIM on ServiceNow, and most suites integrate with it.
• Zenoss: no DCIM module documented.

Re-checks and corrections

Each row shows its verified date; the newest is 9 Nov 2026. Vendors and readers can send a correction with a public source to hello@dcimvendors.com, and the row and its date update. The featured slot is paid and labelled. Every row keeps its sourced data and its place in every sort.
