It allows us to create routing rule sets to route DNS traffic where it needs to go most efficiently in our environment."
"We implemented BlueCat Edge to solve the visibility and security issues we were having."
"It allows us to easily monitor our subnets and routers."
"IP Address Management (IPAM) is the most valuable."
"Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection allows us to manage our overall addresses and IT in one location. Many companies are using this solution, it is very popular."
"The main advantages with Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection are the dashboards, the reporting system, and they have the GUI interface."
"The most valuable feature of Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection is its performance and visibility."
"The security of the solution is perfect. It's very good at protecting us from attacks."
"The most valuable features of Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection are the services, DHCP, and debugging. Additionally, we can use APIs and ansible scripts."
"Infoblox Secure DNS helped us protect our internal environment by mitigating and stopping attacks through the Internet using DNS protocols and queries."

"I like that Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection is one hundred percent good, performance-wise."
"Its price is on the higher side."
"A more graphical user interface would be a benefit."
"I have concerns about several aspects of BlueCat's site management."
"One pain point concerning DNS Edge is the inability to see per Edge endpoint, what devices are querying against it. They do have the capability for you to look at that data, but the data is roughly 24 to 48 hours old. I am looking for real-time data, and I cannot get that per Edge endpoint."
"The solution is expensive."
"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."
"I think only the technical documentation and administration of box could be a little bit improved."
"Infoblox lacks an extensive product portfolio."
"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."
"There is a steep learning curve to be able to use Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection well."
"There should be better alerts for when attacks are happening."
"They should release frequent updates for its on-premises version."
