"If you're running your enterprise application on Azure, it's convenient to use Azure DNS. It has native integration with other Azure solutions, and Microsoft is a globally recognized DNS provider. You also get CDN services. If you're a media company that requires on-demand data streaming, your DNS plays a vital role by working with CDN services to publish your application. It's cheaper and easier to expand your solution."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a stable product."
"Integration with other Azure services is good."
"The most valuable features of Azure DNS are the DNS forwarder and the DNS additional record editions."
"The most valuable feature of Infoblox DDI is its IP Address Management (IPAM) tool. This tool allows for the effective management of IP addresses and provides the capability to detect duplicates, hence its moniker "discovery." Another feature that I find particularly useful is the integration of DNS, which can be seamlessly integrated with your existing primary DNS server, making the overall experience much more seamless and efficient."
"It offers an easy initial setup."
"Infoblox DDI prioritizes DNS security, which is crucial for the security department."
"Infoblox DDI is a good tool if you want to centralize everything in your environment...It is a stable solution."
"Infoblox has more technology patents than any of its competitors."
"The best feature is the user interface."
"What needs improvement in Azure DNS is visibility in terms of troubleshooting. It's similar to the area for improvement in Azure Network Watcher, where I can see how the source is going out if I'm troubleshooting a source destination. I can also see the destination. As for seeing how the packet travels, that's what should be improved. It's still lacking in visibility. Suppose I'm looking into backend machines, and if I'm hitting another NPM machine or any machine on the other side, there should be visibility. The tool should tell you that a specific machine is passing through a VPN gateway or route table, routing to a third-party firewall, and then dropping. Azure DNS should show an accurate answer to help the customers, which is its area for improvement."
"Azure DNS could improve by having more updates."
"There are issues with the cloud systems."
"The licensing cost should be improved."
"There are some latency issues that could be improved."
"The product must provide information on which DNS or application is consuming the most budget."
"The technical support can be more knowledgeable."
"They should include more integration with other platforms."
"Regarding an upcoming release of Infoblox DDI, I would like to see an improvement in the existing integration with Ansible. Currently, the integration is not up to par and requires further enhancements, particularly in Ansible version 2.5. Additionally, the GUI is slow, it could be improved."
"They need to reconsider their pricing for their SMB customers. It is a hurdle for them to manage the price."
"The recategorization part takes longer with Infoblox DDI compared to other companies like Symantec, Zscaler, and Palo Alto."
"They need to provide more training and tutorials than what's provided on the website."
"The solution is expensive."
