Our current focus, with our current resources, is on core functionality. We want to nail that and then grow our roadmap deliberately, rather than go off and add a bunch of half-finished features just to tick some checkboxes. In the meantime, plugin builders are doing an amazing job tackling things like BGP community / session / policy management, DNS record management, and device ACL management.

For an introduction to life with NetBox that is fast-moving and gentle, yet fairly comprehensive, check out our "Zero to Hero" course: https://netboxlabs.com/zero-to-hero/

Noted, thanks for the feedback. I'll make sure that we get some visuals in a place that's easier to find.

NetBox is indeed intended as a source of truth. It it tightly focused on being the very best DCIM + IPAM solution it can be, which means that discovery / reconciliation and assurance / monitoring are not a problem we're currently trying to solve.

Other products do those things well, and can integrate with NetBox via our extensibility facilities including API, plugins, and scripts. In fact, we just announced partnerships with a couple of vendors that do those very things: https://netboxlabs.com/news/strategic-partnerships-reduce-ad...

Thanks for the kind words! I'm specifically attached to NetBox Open Source, and will pass along the compliments to the dev team.

And yeah, the pricing for NetBox Cloud isn't a fit for every use case. That product isn't the only thing we've got cooking; stay tuned :)

Hey, I'm a product manager at NetBox Labs, the commercial stewards of the NetBox project. It's great to see such nice and useful feedback.

We're not even a year old yet as a company, and we know that it's currently not easy to find details on netbox.dev, and we're in the middle of a project to address that. In the meantime, I hope you'll check out the resources hosted on https://netboxlabs.com.

There's also a slack workspace at https://netdev-community.slack.com/ where you can interact with me and my colleagues. I'm @Jeff Gehlbach.
