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

I think it is best when you might need a lot of detail. I wouldn't suggest this for sharing with an end user.

On a rare occasion that we call for support, more like a HOW-TO type of thing, it is a live person, prompt, courteous and knowledgeable.

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.

We read reviews and had a demo. That suited us well.

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.
