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

    If you already have Webroot AV, it makes sense to continue with the same vendor. It's pretty cheap compared to some solutions, so it might be the case that it's this or nothing, in which case this is a no brainer. If you are an MSP, this is an easy product to sell, and requires very little maintenance. you do need to monitor it but it runs itself most of the time. If you are a customer with >50 users, you should really be looking for a product that is a bit higher up the food chain

    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.

    Webroot stacks right up with the top vendors in this tier. Priced right and MSP ready.

    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.
