Overview

Product Information on Nautobot

Updated 1st November 2025

What is Nautobot?

Nautobot is an open-source Network Source of Truth (NSoT) and Automation Platform. It provides a flexible data model to represent device inventory, IP addresses, interconnections, topology, and configuration/state, and uses an intent-based model to capture desired network state. Robust REST and GraphQL APIs and the Nautobot App Ecosystem (e.g., Golden Config, Device Lifecycle Management, SSoT) integrate with external systems to orchestrate zero-touch provisioning (ZTP), day-2 operations, and remediation—maintaining compliance and preventing configuration/policy drift. Designed for complex, multi-vendor environments, Nautobot streamlines provisioning, reduces manual effort, and increases operational consistency. By serving as a centralized, authoritative source for devices and intended state, Nautobot replaces manual network management with automated, programmatic workflows that support modern, data-driven operations.

Nautobot Pricing

Nautobot is open source and free as a self-hosted Community Edition, delivering core capabilities and extensibility with no per-device licensing or vendor limits. For production assurances, optional Enterprise subscriptions add advanced features, certified integrations, SLAs, long-term support/security updates, and expert guidance. Enterprise support and services pricing scales by deployment size and support/service level.

“Nautobot Delivers Powerful Network Automation Capabilities and Accelerates Delivering Value to the Business”

5.0
Feb 5, 2026
Working with Network to Code and Nautobot has been simply a fantastic experience! Not only have we partnered with Network to Code developing Nautobot and IaC solutions since 2024, we're now utilizing Nautobot enterprise support, which is something you really can't go without, especially in health care and insurance! Network to Code really leads the way for professional support of 'network source-of-truth' solutions, that organizations adopting network automation rely on, and have provided top-tier talent helping our team realize our goals of network automation and self-service infrastructure as code results. As an organization, they have been professional at all levels; approachable, knowledgeable, and capable of delivering what we used to call 'pie in the sky' directly onto our tables!

Dec 9, 2025
Since moving to Nautobot SaaS 30 days ago, we've had significant performance issues. So far NTC has struggled to remediate these.

Nautobot Likes & Dislikes

Like

Nautobot as a platform has accelerated our delivery of network automation and self-services to our organization, with its vast array of powerful jobs, external integrations and API capabilities, we've been able to interface seamlessly with other teams' pipelines and workflows to create an automation framework and development lifecycle capable of rapid delivery of new offerings. Working with their professional services team to help road-map, architect and rapidly deploy our automation framework was worth the value of every penny spent (which wasn't bad either); Network to Code has some really outstanding developers and engineers available to support your project deliverables, they have been nothing short of incredible. The flexibility in different delivery methods and services offered has helped make Nautobot a critical part of our team's automation solutions, and they have been a great partner to our team and organization - all while providing exceptional value on a strict budget - I can't recommend them enough!

Like

Flexibility - NTC did develop new connectivity methods for us to be able to use the SaaS given our security requirements. SaaS Platform - enables us to maintain lifecycle requirements on software versions with greater ease than on-prem NTC's Network Understanding

Like

I value the customizability and adaptability of Nautobot above all else. I appreciate that there are several ways to accomplish any goal, whether it be fully using Nautobots native capabilities or augmenting it to integrate with other platforms. The plugins are also a reason I believe Nautobot stands out among other SoT's.

Dislike

Our experience is limited to on-premise VM Nautobot, in HA, but updating the deployment of the platform can be complex and at times confusing (we deploy the platform via code). As is the way with open-source, vulnerabilities are present and sometimes patches rely on underlying binaries getting updates etc... Sometimes integrations don't work right out of the box, and can require custom code updates on the systems.

Dislike

API Performance Lack of remote collector means limited use cases for now due to our connectivity model to the SaaS Timeliness of identifying and remediating issues

Dislike

My main complaint about this product would have to be its lack of depth in some less prioratized areas. For our environment, for example, we are unable to fully model network connections because our existing source of truth for interconnects uses single strand modeling whereas Nautobot does not. While I'm sure there are many more important focuses on the roadmap, some smaller quality of life imrpovements would be very beneficial to us.

    Nautobot greatly improves network automation and compliance

    Feb 11, 2026
    I greatly enjoy using and developing our Nautobot instance. Nautobot has been the catalyst for overall network heigein and automation at our university. I appreciate that it is focused on being a single source of truth to the extent that it can integrate and pull data from a wealth of existing sources. I also appreciate the breadth it spans regarding usability, from simple documentation to actual config implementation. We have had a wonderful experience with out support team as well, which has a huge impact on our continued use of this system.

    Nautobot Offers Flexibility and Scalability but App Limitations Are Noted

    5.0
    Feb 17, 2026
    Nautobot is well positioned for a variety of use cases at a variety of complexity levels. It is good as a simple inventory, which is where we started. You can then start to layer in various automation use cases as desired. Nautobot is obviously related to other tools and shares DNA, so many aspects are shared. We chose Nautobot over competitors because we liked the overall support, welcoming nature of the NetworkToCode community, and the stability of the platform; bugs are not common, and stable code is released on a steady cadence with consistent improvements. We also liked the integration of the jobs and apps that allowed network automation to run directly from the system.

    Nautobot Cloud Centralizes Network Visibility and Streamlines Automation Workflows

    Nov 17, 2025
    I've been using Nautobot for several years and moved to Nautobot Cloud about two years ago. It has become my Network Source of Truth and the central platform for all my network automation workflows. My current instance manages more than 4,000 devices across multiple OEMs, primarily Arista and Cisco, and it continues to scale reliably as the network grows.

    Nautobot platform is driving business value and working with Network To Code has been instrumental to our success.

    Feb 12, 2026
    Network To Code has been a great partner to work with on our Nautobot journey. We are using Nautobot for a wide swath of use cases centered around our Managed Network Service including assets, services, datacenters, contracts, networks, virtualized platforms, customers, and many other object types. We created, with Network To Code's help, essentially a graph database for hundreds of thousands of objects that describe our services and infrastructure. This assists in our correlation, root cause analytics, and general AIOps. Network To Code's resources are expert level on the Nautobot platform as well as having deep industry experience.
