What DCIM software costs

Checked 9 Nov 2026

Most DCIM vendors quote. These publish a list price, and every figure links to the page it came from.

ProductFromPerSource
Hyperview $3 asset per year Hyperview pricing,
Sunbird dcTrack $19.50 cabinet per month, billed annually ($234/cabinet/yr) Sunbird DCIM pricing,
Sunbird Power IQ $5.50 node per month, billed annually ($66/node/yr) Sunbird DCIM pricing,
NetBox Free community edition; Cloud and Enterprise by quote NetBox Labs pricing,

Sunbird sells dcTrack and Power IQ together as a suite bundle at $27.50 per cabinet per month. Hyperview’s floor is 500 assets, so the smallest contract runs $1,500 a year, with add-ons from $0.50 per asset. Quote only: FNT Command, Modius OpenData, Nlyte and Vertiv Unify.

Full suite, monitoring or open source?

Full suite 13
Buy a suite when you plan capacity and run change work: where the next 40 kW of racks fit, which circuit a move touches, who signs off the work order. 13 of 13 suites document capacity planning, and Cormant-CS, EcoStruxure IT Advisor, FNT Command, netTerrain, NetZoom, Nlyte and Sunbird dcTrack also run change work orders.
Monitoring 8
Buy monitoring when the job is live readings and alarms from PDUs, UPS, cooling units and sensors. All 8 read both power and environmental data, and Sunbird Power IQ is the one with a public price.
Specialist tools 4
DCImanager, EkkoSense EkkoSoft Critical, ManageEngine OpManager and RF Code CenterScape each cover one job in depth: RFID asset location, cooling optimization, or network monitoring with rack and floor views.
Open source 4
NetBox, openDCIM, RackTables and Ralph document racks, devices and cabling for free on your own server. Compare the free DCIM tools.

What buyers ask before choosing DCIM software

How much does DCIM software cost?

Sunbird lists dcTrack at $19.50 per cabinet per month ($234 a year) and Power IQ at $5.50 per node per month, paid a year up front. Hyperview charges $3 per asset per year with a 500-asset minimum. Nlyte, Schneider, FNT and Vertiv Unify quote per deal. See every published price.

Cloud (SaaS) or on-premises DCIM?

Both are common. EcoStruxure IT Expert, EkkoSense EkkoSoft Critical, Hyperview, Panduit SmartZone Cloud and Tier44 EM/8 run as SaaS only. Cormant-CS, EcoStruxure IT Advisor, Modius OpenData, netTerrain, NetZoom, Nlyte, Packet Power EMX, Sunbird dcTrack and Sunbird Power IQ let you choose. FNT Command also runs in your own private or public cloud. Filter the table by deployment to see the full split.

Is there free or open-source DCIM software?

Yes. openDCIM (GPL-3.0) tracks assets, cabling and space, power and cooling capacity, and simulates power outages. NetBox (Apache-2.0) models sites, racks, devices, cables and power with REST and GraphQL APIs. RackTables (GPL-2.0) documents racks, assets and IP addresses. For live power and environmental readings, add a monitoring product. Full comparison.

What happened to Vertiv Trellis?

Vertiv discontinued Trellis, and support for existing contracts ended in 2023 (Uptime Institute). Vertiv’s current software is Environet Alert for small and mid-size sites and Vertiv Unify (March 2025) for power and thermal control in colocation and hyperscale halls. Moving off Trellis? Shortlist from the full suites tab.

Who owns Nlyte and Device42 now?

Nlyte is a Carrier company (DCD). Freshworks bought Device42 for about $230M in 2024. The table’s owner column shows the current parent for every product.

What is the best DCIM software?

It depends on the job. For a public price, start with Sunbird dcTrack or Hyperview; dcTrack adds 3D floor views. For a ServiceNow shop, look at Nlyte, Device42 and Tier44 EM/8, which builds on ServiceNow itself. For cabling and network documentation in your own cloud, FNT Command. For free, openDCIM or NetBox.

How the sheet is built

Full methodology

Vendor pages first. Every cell comes from the vendor’s own product page, price list, docs or a named trade source such as DCD. The small number beside a value opens that page; hover it for the date we read it.

Dated, re-checked. Each row shows when we last verified it, newest 9 Nov 2026. Seen a changed price or a new module? Send the link to hello@dcimvendors.com and the row updates.
