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

    phpIPAM is great for a team environment and complex network environments so all members are informed. It's not very user-friendly for administrators to maintain; a IT individual with Linux OS experience is needed in my opinion.

    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.

    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.
