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."Managing our BDI infrastructure globally is simple, and BlueCat's personalized relationship with us is valuable to our organization."
"This inherent stability, derived from its Linux-based architecture, provides a well-established and reliable platform."
"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."
"It's a critical infrastructure piece. This is where all the IPs are named for the whole organization. It's a big deal. It has all the features related to DNS and DHCP. It's pretty amazing."
"BlueCat Integrity's scalability and user-friendliness are the most valuable features."
"I've been impressed by BlueCat's performance and user-friendly GUI."
"The solution includes automatic management of segments."
"I get a lot of value from Cloudflare's API because it enables you to build a separate environment inside the solution. You can create a domain for performing test requests before you move to the production environment and connect various domains."
"The most valuable features of the solution are performance and security."
"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare DNS is security."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is external DNS. It is also very secure. They have their own main server and once you configure it, the product takes care of everything. There are no issues in resolving IPs and low latency is also present."
"Its ease of integration with Office 365 and the fact that it's a good product compared to what I had before"
"Even when there is a high load on our servers, Cloudflare is able to cache the data and serve it to users, ensuring they can still access the website."
"The solution is stable, and the DNS servers are simple to use."
"It is a stable solution. I rate the stability a ten out of ten...I rate the scalability a ten out of ten."
"During our testing phase, we encountered some issues with Active Directory and DNS reverse lookups."
"The integration has room for improvement."
"One crucial area for development is IPv6 support."
"The IPAM dashboard could be enhanced to display more information and provide data analysis features."
"Usability needs to be better."
"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."
"The solution does not export reports in a comprehensive format."
"The technical support is slow and has room for improvement."
"The analytics, basically the dashboard, doesn't have much to it."
"Cloudflare's free plan is limited to 5,000 records for their free plan. They should increase that. For example, if I create a domain called abc.com and a subdomain called a.abc.com, my record count will be two. I can make a maximum of 5,000 subdomains. However, if we use our own DNS hosted on another provider, there is no limit. Their free plan also lacks name server customization."
"The documentation could improve for Cloudflare DNS."
"Cloudflare should add more documentation and pricing to the cloud version."
"It would be helpful if the solution could continue evolving to compete with the other solutions on the market."
"The tool needs to improve caching of servers. The product needs to include PFX certificate as well."
"There might be helpful if there was some web application firewall feature."
"Areas like how assessment, discovery, and payload are dealt with and how it all comes into your organization can be considered when trying to make suggestions to Cloudflare for improvements."
