We performed a comparison between Infoblox IPAM and SolarWinds IPAM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IP Address Management (IPAM) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The features we found the most valuable were being able to handle DHCP scopes and handing out DHCP leases. We weren't doing some of the things that we can do, such as DNS query rate limiting. Our usage was pretty standard. We wanted to be able to track our IP addresses to create DNS entries and then create DHCP and manage DHCP scopes. We used the standard features the most."
"IPAM's best features include the view of how many soft nets are filled from your container and the grid master."
"Infoblox gives us the flexibility to manage our internal networks and publish the data outside of the network on the internet. It's quite fluid to do it."
"We can specify the availability of subnets when we create them."
"Regarding DDI, I would say the best feature of Infoblox is the DNS security. DNS tunneling is a significant security issue and is very difficult to protect against based on our tests with other types of security devices. However, Infoblox eliminates this issue and provides excellent security against a difficult threat."
"For me, the best feature of Infoblox IPAM is that you can use BloxOne DDI which means you can manage everything from the cloud and have security policies as well. I also like that Infoblox IPAM is plug-and-play."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution has been DNS security. It has a solid foundation for building DNS, DHCP, and Advanced Threat Prevention."
"It provides us with flexibility."
"I am impressed with the product's reports."
"I like the option to keep all of the available and used IPAM addresses in the central organization."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The product is user-friendly and valuable."
"I would recommend this solution for all companies that have to deal with a lot of networks."
"Its setup is simple. Its interface is simple. It's very easy to manage."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It takes about half a day, and it can be done by one engineer."
"SolarWinds IPAM is a simple and user-friendly tool."
"When we do a host entry, it also reflects in the lookup. We should be able to filter that part. If we do only the A and PTR records, we need to reflect only that part in the lookup."
"An area for improvement is IPAM's smart folders, which can be slow to access and would benefit from a search feature."
"From an IPAM standpoint, DHCP is an area that needs to be improved."
"The only room for improvement in Infoblox IPAM is its compatibility and flexibility with IPv6. There's been an issue transitioning from IPv4 to IPv6, and though Infoblox is in the process of resolving the issue, it would be better if the team could come up with a solution in a quicker timeframe. Better transitioning from IPv4 to IPv6 is what I'd like to see in the next release of the solution."
"When we use the forwarders or when we're trying to connect with the internet, sometimes there are issues and the publishing time is longer."
"CLI needs to be user-friendly. There should be an option to commit changes."
"The solution is not easy to use; the GUI and CLI are challenging to use, limiting end-user capability. We can't use Linux terminal features with Infoblox, as it struggles to detect and troubleshoot problems. We generally use troubleshooting tools like tcpdump in our network security area and we can use that in Infoblox with limited features."
"The scope of our use of this solution is limited to the DDI IPAM solution for Infoblox. This solution could be improved by offering multiple integrations with IPAM which could already exist but we aren't aware of them."
"From any improvement perspective, SolarWinds IPAM should consider working on the area where the tool lacks, which is its network management capabilities."
"Some processes are a little bit bumpy. The solution needs a design refresh."
"The product needs to improve its support. The response time is long and not very helpful."
"My understanding is that IPAM cannot be used for the AWS environment. I might be wrong, but that's what I believe it cannot do. On AWS, SolarWinds IPAM cannot do what it does on the on-prem side. They should explore how to make IPAM capable and scalable on AWS and Azure environments."
"SolarWinds IPAM offers premium support, but the customer has to pay more money, and then they will have minimal response times."
"The installation and storage could be improved."
"They should provide more details on the full stack feature. It needs to be integrated with the hypervisor."
"Sometimes we have to wait for screens to load, so faster operations would be better."
