"When comparing other cloud-based DNS security solutions to this one I have found the main beneficial feature in this solution to be we do not need to change our architecture."
"I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten."
"DNS sinkhole is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable features of the solution are DNSSEC and the domain generation algorithm."
"The most valuable feature is DNS filtering."
"The solution's logging could be improved."
"They should release frequent updates for its on-premises version."
"Infoblox lacks an extensive product portfolio."
"The service monitoring information could be simplified of this appliance and the information displayed on the dashboards could be improved. I have not found one dashboard to be perfect. For example, in Splunk, I can create a dashboard in Grafana. However, in Grafana, it takes a very long time to create them. There should be another API to do it 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."
"They are not supporting high query logging. They have a very limited size for the syslog, so they are usually asking for external storage, external network, and integration in order to keep the syslog. If you are considering the high volume traffic of the carrier-grade, then the syslog will hold for around five to 10 minutes. This is not enough time and it is being rotated. This is the main issue and the main limitation that we face with them that they need to work on."
"The price could be reduced to improve the solution."
"There should be better alerts for when attacks are happening."
"The product should provide email protection."
"The solution’s scalability could be improved."
"The solution can capture more market if made more cost-competitive than Infoblox or Cisco Umbrella."
"The scalability can be improved."
"Every vendor that sells DNS or firewalls needs to be able to protect against DNS look-up attacks and DNS naming hacks. This is true of Palo Alto as well as others."
"There should be an on-premise version of this solution."
"I'm not really sure what needs improvement. The only hiccup I've really seen is a couple of the DNS requests get flagged as the Sophos traffic instead of DNS traffic, but that's more of their app detection in the DNS Security. I haven't really seen any issues with the DNS security."
"Sometimes, it blocks legitimate traffic for custom applications, requiring manual intervention."
