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.

It's pretty similar when you compare it to the DNS filters of other AV vendors. They're all additional offerings to the core solution of an AV. I would say if you're on Trend Micro and you're thinking of moving to Webroot, it's really a sideways step, but it's certainly a big improvement to have this product over nothing at all. It's pretty cheap, easy to manage, and definitely offers value for money due to the big leap in security this will give your business

• 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.

• It is a centralized platform, easy to use, completely affordable. It provides a completely positive return on investment by providing a higher level of security and better performance for our organization.
