We performed a comparison between Azure DNS and BlueCat Integrity based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Managed DNS solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."What I like about Azure DNS is that it doesn't have any issues and integrates quickly with other products. It has good integration, which is incredible. I also like that whenever you deploy private links and endpoints, Azure DNS gives you the option to select the Azure native DNS, private DNS, or go with the Azure custom DNS. It depends, but if you don't have any dependencies on the DNS, then, like many customers, you won't have DNS issues. Azure DNS is a very good solution that helps you with domains and other resources."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The solution is easy to use and flexible."
"Can be configured to achieve a hundred percent reliability"
"Azure DNS is a user-friendly and very easy-to-manage solution."
"The initial setup is easy and the solution is user-friendly"
"Integration with other Azure services is good."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a stable product."
"The most valuable feature is the IPAMs, which provide visibility into all the IP addresses on the network."
"As a defense contractor, we must meet many compliance standards regarding logging, configuration, and administrative access. BlueCat is one of the few products that combines all the compliance components in a secure, reliable solution."
"The most valuable piece, which has been a lifesaver, would be the BlueCat DNS resolver. BlueCat Cloud DNS resolver is a tool that takes a look into your cloud's DNS and then reports back everything it finds into BlueCat's DNS Edge solution. The Edge solution has a bunch of nice rules that you can configure to route the DNS traffic. That automation alone is a lifesaver for me for the day-to-day churn of the DNS components that change on an hourly, daily basis."
"Managing our BDI infrastructure globally is simple, and BlueCat's personalized relationship with us is valuable to our organization."
"BlueCat Integrity provides us with flexibility and visibility that we did not have before."
"BlueCat Integrity's scalability and user-friendliness are the most valuable features."
"The solution is scalable in multiple ways."
"One of the better things about Integrity is that the underlying code it uses is an ISC DNS and DHCP. It's not like some of the other vendors that have created their own version of DNS."
"I would like to see more security features and protection."
"The CDN integration could be improved."
"Domain registration is one of the problems. We need to go to application services or web apps to purchase the domain instead. If that were to be equivalent to AWS's Route 53 that would be good. But, it is not as flexible as that."
"They should include more integration with other platforms."
"The product must provide information on which DNS or application is consuming the most budget."
"Azure DNS could improve by having more updates."
"The process of creating a virtual mission could be improved."
"The initial setup of this solution could be less complex and require less manual configurations."
"Adaptive DNS only supports AWS for network automation and cloud computing and would be improved if it also supported other options like Azure or Google Cloud."
"Usability needs to be better."
"The integration has room for improvement."
"The DNS and DHCP servers for guests are separated from the main organization. A lot of times, it doesn't allow you to choose a default IP space. When I log in to the GUI, it doesn't default to where I want it to be. So far, I haven't been able to find out how to change or specify that so that it defaults to a particular space, such as the main org. If I'm looking for the IP space for guests, I need to toggle and go to the guest site. Most of the time, I want the IP space for the org to be my main space, but it doesn't give me the ability to do that, or I haven't been able to find that over the last two years."
"I would like the GUI to be similar to AWS and Azure, where we can simply click on an item to expand it and see all the information on one page, without having to click to the next page."
"During our testing phase, we encountered some issues with Active Directory and DNS reverse lookups."
"However, it does not offer robust support for high availability failover with different subnets, especially if the servers are located in different data centers and belong to distinct IP networks."
"One complaint about the interface is BlueCat's handling of subzones."
