The three major features of Infoblox DDI are very good. Artificial intelligence is one of the areas in the solution where there are some shortcomings. When dealing with URLs, Infoblox needs a good team that takes care of the recategorizations. Zscaler is good since it can recategorize the website. Every day, millions of websites are newly launched, which may or may not be malicious. Malicious websites will get blocked if a company goes for recategorization. If the recategorization part is not taken care of properly, with millions of websites being launched every day, then the malicious websites will not get blocked. Zscaler has a good team to take care of the recategorization part within twenty-four hours, while Infoblox does not have such a team. Symantec and Palo Alto have good teams to take care of the recategorization part, while Infoblox does not have such types of teams. The aforementioned area can be considered for improvement in the solution. The recategorization part takes longer with Infoblox DDI compared to other companies like Symantec, Zscaler, and Palo Alto.

I would rate this solution as eight out of ten. The stability is good. It's not a 10 because the software and servers can be slow. When we have some issues, the tech response isn't as fast as it should be, but we haven't opened many cases. For those who want to use this solution, my advice is to know the size of your business. Do you want to have an on-premises or on-cloud service? Do you want to apply this individually to your own servers, services, and records? For large enterprises with more customers and with many branches around the world, they are entitled to have their own servers or to rely on a service operator. It's important to consider the number of operations, future expansions, and the current design of the network. The engineering team should ask themselves about what kind of expansion they will have in the next five years.
