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

NS1 is well suited for large/mid-enterprise customers that really care about the reliability of the overall infrastructure, enhanced end-user application experience, and security. Less appropriate for small-scale enterprise customers

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.

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.

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.
