We performed a comparison between Amazon Route 53 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."It stands out for its user-friendly interface, seamless integration with other AWS services, and ability to efficiently manage DNS, making it a valuable tool for various deployment scenarios, including those involving Kubernetes on AWS."
"The scalability is the most valuable feature."
"Using Amazon Route 53 is located in a central place in Amazon AWS which makes it easier to manage every DNS entry in one place. You are able to manage your public and private DNS from there. We can create rules based on weight and globalization is impressive."
"We use Amazon Route 53 for dynamic naming and routing policy."
"We haven't faced any outages or issues directly related to Route 53. It has been 100% stable for me."
"Amazon Route 53 is a DNS resolution service that helps you to map your hostname to another hostname."
"The solution offers you the flexibility to control configuration rules."
"The product integrates with other services from AWS, like Amazon S3 bucket and load balancers. The product can also be used with AWS EC2 Instances, AWS Global Accelerator, Amazon SNS, and AWS Lambda."
"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."
"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've been impressed by BlueCat's performance and user-friendly GUI."
"DNS aliases, which we use extensively in our applications are a valuable feature."
"One of the key features enabling us to operate at our current scale is robust automation."
"The most valuable feature is the IPAMs, which provide visibility into all the IP addresses on the network."
"The most valuable features are scalability and cloud infrastructure."
"Managing our BDI infrastructure globally is simple, and BlueCat's personalized relationship with us is valuable to our organization."
"The solution should have a more user-friendly user interface."
"The solution’s pricing could be reduced."
"It is difficult to manage the product if the person involved in the setup process doesn't know much about the solution."
"Streamlining and optimizing processes related to Procter, VPN workflows, and other subjects based on specific needs would allow for continual improvement and adaptation to the evolving requirements of the system."
"The product should improve its automation."
"The multiple routing policies present in the product have certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"There are no detailed logs, and they should implement that in the solution."
"When you add a new DNS record instructing the solution to map one thing to another, it has to propagate to all the networks, which takes some time."
"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."
"While the product is IPAM, DNS, and DHCP, it does provide NTP functionality, but one of the things that they have yet to correct or catch up with is NTP authentication. There are new standards being pushed out and they are lagging a little bit in supporting them."
"BlueCat Integrity can improve by increasing the amount of updates it releases."
"The UI is outdated and needs a modern refresh."
"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."
"The technical support is slow and has room for improvement."
"The ease of use is where I got to give a little knock on them. Once you start using the tool, it becomes very easy. It's actually quite easy to use. The problem that I run into is documentation. The documentation could be a little bit richer. Documentation has always been a little pet peeve for me with them."
"When you replace an appliance, there are many configuration steps, so adding zero-touch provisioning would be helpful. It can be quite tedious and time-consuming to replace a device if it fails or deploy a new one."
