Using it under Debian. It's not just IPAM, it's also kind of Asset Management,
discovers all kind of information from your devices via snmp like mac & arp
entries which in turn resolve internally to adjacent devices/interfaces, you
can see chains of neighbors, interfaces, routes and all the other h/w stuff.

Connected subnets don't need to be added manually as it will fill your
database inside of "containers" automatically.

Written in mod_perl it's fast and "easily" adaptable.

I tried also IPplan and some others, most of them are very immature. 

So for me it's 
netdot++
