Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Infoblox, F5 and others in Domain Name System (DNS) Security."The most valuable feature is blocklisting. It's good at what I like to describe as the "silly side cases." We have this annoying security architecture that says we must do this, that, and the other, so we try to make it easier on ourselves."
"With the model we have, we are able to scale very easily if we need to."
"When it comes to helping to detect DNS threats, BloxOne is good on all fronts. The number of false positives is very low, close to none. More than once it has detected new names or lookalike names and protected us and saved us from bad characters."
"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."
"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 dossier feature is perfect for starting an investigation."
"The product is stable."
"BloxOne provides automatic sharing of network context data, which affects our speed of threat response and provide real-time threat intelligence. Our security operations needs this to do their work. It makes us feel safer."
"I feel that it is a user-friendly product that provides quick response to users."
"Threat protection solution with good stability and scalability. Installation is straightforward. Support for this product is good."
"The product's installation phase was easy."
"The most valuable feature is machine learning, which automatically monitors the activity on the machine."
"It's a stable solution."
"It's secure and useful from an administrative point of view, with controllable login monitoring and so on."
"We find the advanced license for the DLP to be particularly useful with this product."
"The solution's scalability is good and we have more than 90 users for it."
"We would like to see more reporting capabilities that are now offered only with the on-premises reporting appliance."
"The product could be cheaper."
"Within the past two years, we discovered certain bugs in their products. The resolution of these bugs took a little too much time, especially if our production environment is down for a certain amount of time, then we are losing money. That is hard to convey to Infoblox support, e.g., we actually need the system up and running again within two or three hours. The awareness of these so-called production down incidents is not really easy to convey."
"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 onboarding is a little rough at times, and you need to have some information at hand. It is pretty good, but it would be useful to have a few good examples to set up things like data exfiltration."
"The initial setup is not a simple "click-click-next" installation. It requires some level of experience ."
"The documentation needs to be improved because there are a lot of different models that it can be deployed in, and it's somewhat confusing determining what you need and how to set it up to best cover your use cases."
"The setup was horrible. About a year ago, Infoblox made us re-enroll all our on-prem DNS servers by a set date to a specific version, or it would stop working. I told my colleague, "Oh, here, we have to upgrade the servers and reconnect them to the CSP." That did not go well at all."
"I would like to see better scalability and better performance."
"The price of Trend Micro Web Security is the only area of concern where improvements are required. From an improvement perspective, the product should be made available to users at a cheaper rate."
"The costs are a bit high in terms of licensing."
"The product should be more secure and stable. It is also not flexible."
"This solution has a lot of restrictions on what non-administrator users can do, including generating comparative code. We would like to see this changed as the product is developed."
"The solution's scalability could be better."
"The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"What could help Trend Micro Web Security in terms of improvement is the addition of a DDoS protection feature. It also needs to be more comprehensive to meet the needs of large-sized companies."
