Still, I would like to see more protection from even in the low-end version."

"There needs to be more capabilities in order to configure the console itself instead of the user interface dashboard. Configuring the DNS or DHCP through the console instead of the GUI dashboard would be better."
"Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection could be more user-friendly because you need knowledge if you want to use it. To handle the solution, you need to be a subject matter expert, so this is one area for improvement."
"There should be better alerts for when attacks are happening."
"The solution is expensive."
"The solution's logging could be improved."
"I think only the technical documentation and administration of box could be a little bit improved."
