    It can act as a reasonable DNS and DHCP solution if money allows you chose to have a dedicated (virtual) appliance.

    Netbox is very well suited when you want to consolidate your inventory in one place. Netbox is also very well suited when you want to generate network configurations. You can request the REST API to get the date of a device and generate network configurations with a templating tool, and that is very easy.

    Cons
    BlueCat
    • GUI interface could use some touch-ups. For example, saving a configuration is not the easiest thing to do.
    • Hypervisor compatibility (currently doesn't support Nutanix AHV).
    • Not too many KBs publicly available.

    • The GraphQL implementation could be better integrated
    • Netbox is usually very reactive except but performance start to drop when requesting 250 devices or more per page

    Alternatives Considered
    BlueCat
    For all it's worth, it's a Linux based appliance and does offer a high availability design. It does offer IP address management and can scan your network through ICMP and SNMP. It does support role-based access controls for admins.

    The API is just very well designed. All tools say that what you can do with webUI, you can also do it via the REST API. That is usually not the case except for Netbox, where you can really do everything with the API. For instance with GLPI, you cannot get rack and rack units data with the API, while you can do it via the webUI

    Return on Investment
    BlueCat
    • CONS: Not up to speed with market-leading virtualization technologies such as Nutanix.
    • PROS: Reliable solution.
    • PROS: The design can be confusing for the folks used to Infoblox as it utilized 1 controller called Bluecat Address Manager and the actual DNS/DHCP servers named BDDS.
