When a trusted tool like NetMRI reaches its sunset date, it opens the door to modern alternatives that offer more automation, broader integration, and a lower total cost of ownership. You’ve invested time, training, and trust into this solution, and while it may feel like the rug is being pulled out, this is an opportunity to improve how your organization handles network configuration and change management.
Infoblox is Retiring NetMRI – What are Your Options?
Infoblox has announced the end-of-life for its NetMRI network change and configuration management software, with official support ending on April 30, 2027; triggering a two-year countdown to full end-of-life; all patching, upgrades, and vendor assistance will cease. However, the Last Order Date (LOD) was April 30, 2025—so no new licenses can be purchased.
Because you’re already using NetMRI, we won’t waste time explaining the value of automating configuration backups, compliance processes, and policy enforcement—you already know that. What you need now is a solution that meets—or surpasses—your current expectations, with zero disruption. That solution is Restorepoint.
Why Restorepoint Is the Right NetMRI Alternative
Enterprises of all sizes, including managed services providers (MSPs) maintaining multi-tenant environments, rely on Restorepoint to reduce compliance risks and configuration errors through automation, eliminating manual drudgery that can lead to mistakes. Automated configuration policy enforcement also mitigates the risk of service outages and security incidents associated with erroneous (intentional and unintentional) configuration changes. In short, with Restorepoint you get:
- Reduced manual errors and misconfigurations
- Multi-vendor network environment support
- Consistent policy enforcement
- Accelerated disaster recovery
- Simplified audit readiness
Feature-for-Feature and More
For customers facing life after NetMRI, the challenge will be in finding a replacement that not only delivers on the features and functions you loved about that product, but that can easily integrate into your IT infrastructure without skipping a beat. You get that and a lot more with Restorepoint, including this robust set of technical criteria that further illustrates the value of switching from NetMRI to Restorepoint:
- Backup Integrity Checks – MD5 and file size verification ensure your data is intact.
- Backup Configuration File Types – Works out-of-the-box with complex device types.
- Configuration Versioning – Maintains version history outside standard retention.
- Automated Recovery – delivers automated backup support for text, binary, and broad device types.
- Configuration Analysis & Health Checks – comprehensive analysis and configuration change detection.
- End-to-End Data Encryption – AES 256-bit encryption across credentials, configs, and user data.
Meeting the Challenge of NetMRI End-of-Life
Network configuration and change management has evolved from a “nice to have” to a strategic necessity, driven by the increasing complexity of hybrid IT environments, the need for rapid incident response, and heightened security and compliance demands. That’s why it’s critical to choose a platform that not only replaces NetMRI but enhances your operational maturity.
Here’s how Restorepoint goes further:
- Twice as many out-of-the-box integrations as compared to NetMRI—including Cisco Meraki Cloud, Check Point, and others.
- Deeper configuration analysis and automated recovery workflows—no more being left on your own after an alert.
- Robust automation capabilities that span change detection, compliance, remediation, and disaster recovery.
Whether you have one year or one month to make the switch, these best practices will help you ensure a smooth transition:
