"The solution is easy to configure and deploy. It is scalable and works without any downtime. F5 BIG-IP DNS is a flexible solution."
"F5 provides us with a mechanism to accomplish complex product balancing."
"The security features, DDoS mitigation facilities, and SQL configuration are the most valuable aspects of this solution."
"BIG-IP DNS's best features are DNS monitoring and global service load balancing."
"Infoblox has helped us improve in the way that we look at data as it comes in and out. We monitor and manage queries from every device that sits inside our company, e.g., every user, every laptop, and every query. When you type something into the web, Infoblox will scan or manage that. If it is going somewhere bad, then it will block them. From a metrics perspective, it gives us data, letting us go back and find those impacted or infected clients to either clean their devices or remove them from the network."
"Using the reporting, we can tell that we have gained an extra layer of protection. Just by looking at it, we can see what is being blocked before it even makes it to the firewall. It is definitely working."
"The most valuable feature is policy redirecting and security reports."
"The dossier feature is perfect for starting an investigation."
"The automatic blocklists are most valuable. A box can maintain several lists from which we can choose if we need to block more or less. We don't have to manually manage the lists ourselves. They're automatically updated."
"The reporting ability is helpful. It allows us to control what our users are able to resolve, and then be able to see reports on that."
"The most important features for us are preventing DDOS DNS attacks."
"Our ability to detect data exfiltration was minimal before Infoblox and the cloud portal was instituted for us. In terms of DNS security as a whole, we had some capability with our firewalls, but this is a lot more specialized because we're sending all of our DNS requests to Infoblox. I'd say we improved 100%."
"The monitoring capabilities of F5 BIG-IP DNS could be improved."
"The initial setup could be easier."
"The IP intelligent services are good for mitigating threats, but there are also false positives. So, it's not a standalone solution that can cover everything."
"F5's technical support responds a little slowly."
"The tool needs to improve its UI."
"I sometimes encounter issues with the porting of F5 BIG-IP DNS."
"I would like to see more marketing documentation, rather than technical documentation."
"I would like to see the login facilities improved, as well as more troubleshooting."
"Endpoint solutions need to improved."
"The product could be cheaper."
"We would like to see more reporting capabilities that are now offered only with the on-premises reporting appliance."
"This is not just Infoblox, this could be any portal provider, cloud provider, sometimes they change the look of the customer-facing options and it's not completely clear why they make the change."
"They could work on the UI of their website and make their website more user-friendly."
"The research side and the reporting side need improvement. Both of those are items on the menu. They could use a little bit of cleanup to make their respective information more easily understood."
"The integration of threat intelligence with other solutions is challenging. If I want to expose threat intelligence, I cannot do it via taxi services. I have to call the API, but the customers are not into creating the APIs. The integration of embedded threat intelligence with other platforms should be better. Infoblox should work on this, and it should be easier for the end user to integrate it. It is very easy to deploy this solution. We should be able to integrate it with other platforms, such as the Next-Generation Firewall, with the same ease."
"The dashboard and reporting features need improvement. The user needs more informative dashboards so they can get to the results directly without getting deep in the report to get to the information."
