We performed a comparison between BlueCat Integrity and Cloudflare DNS based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Managed DNS solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features are scalability and cloud infrastructure."
"One of the better things about Integrity is that the underlying code it uses is an ISC DNS and DHCP. It's not like some of the other vendors that have created their own version of DNS."
"Since implementing BlueCat, we have experienced fewer problems, anomalies, and strange issues."
"Adaptive DNS's best feature is DDoS protection, which stops malware and network security attacks."
"I've been impressed by BlueCat's performance and user-friendly GUI."
"BlueCat Integrity provides us with flexibility and visibility that we did not have before."
"DNS aliases, which we use extensively in our applications are a valuable feature."
"The solution is scalable in multiple ways."
"Cloudflare DNS is widely used, and it's good for websites. If we use Cloudflare DNS and update one record, it updates in their office instantly."
"The most valuable features of the solution are performance and security."
"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare DNS is security."
"The solution is stable, and the DNS servers are simple to use."
"The solution automatically detects and responds to certain types of traffic based on geolocation."
"Even when there is a high load on our servers, Cloudflare is able to cache the data and serve it to users, ensuring they can still access the website."
"The attacker won't have details since my public IP is anonymous. It offers us good privacy."
"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare DNS is its global reach and it is always evolving."
"During our testing phase, we encountered some issues with Active Directory and DNS reverse lookups."
"When you replace an appliance, there are many configuration steps, so adding zero-touch provisioning would be helpful. It can be quite tedious and time-consuming to replace a device if it fails or deploy a new one."
"Usability needs to be better."
"While the product is IPAM, DNS, and DHCP, it does provide NTP functionality, but one of the things that they have yet to correct or catch up with is NTP authentication. There are new standards being pushed out and they are lagging a little bit in supporting them."
"One crucial area for development is IPv6 support."
"The technical support is slow and has room for improvement."
"The DNS and DHCP servers for guests are separated from the main organization. A lot of times, it doesn't allow you to choose a default IP space. When I log in to the GUI, it doesn't default to where I want it to be. So far, I haven't been able to find out how to change or specify that so that it defaults to a particular space, such as the main org. If I'm looking for the IP space for guests, I need to toggle and go to the guest site. Most of the time, I want the IP space for the org to be my main space, but it doesn't give me the ability to do that, or I haven't been able to find that over the last two years."
"The IPAM dashboard could be enhanced to display more information and provide data analysis features."
"We have noticed multiple instances where Cloudflare falsely indicates that our servers are down, even when there is no actual load on them. This makes it challenging for us to identify the exact issue."
"There might be helpful if there was some web application firewall feature."
"Cloudflare should add more documentation and pricing to the cloud version."
"It would be helpful if the solution could continue evolving to compete with the other solutions on the market."
"Areas like how assessment, discovery, and payload are dealt with and how it all comes into your organization can be considered when trying to make suggestions to Cloudflare for improvements."
"Cloudflare doesn't have a reverse lookup. We can only do a DNS lookup to get the IP address from the hostname. It doesn't work if you want to look up the hostname from an IPA address."
"The tool needs to improve caching of servers. The product needs to include PFX certificate as well."
"I believe they currently have this feature, but there will most likely be integration with APIs so we can control some features through API."
