I guess I should confess a little something that is probably important to this conversation. At my last job, I not only used, but actually championed, a DDI solution for that company. The difference is, the solution was all from the same vendor, BlueCat. And I probably wouldn't be as nervous if it was all Infoblox. The point though, it is all from the same vendor, end to end. It wasn't a "3rd Party" solution centrally managing a hodge-podge of other vendors (MS, BIND/ISC, and Cisco). But as you pointed out, it is all a matter of the trust the individual admins are willing to put into a software platform. I can only speak for myself when I say, I prefer to use SW IPAM as my checks and balances verification/audit control system.
