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."Since implementing BlueCat, we have experienced fewer problems, anomalies, and strange issues."
"DNS aliases, which we use extensively in our applications are a valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is the IPAMs, which provide visibility into all the IP addresses on the network."
"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."
"The solution is scalable in multiple ways."
"One of the key features enabling us to operate at our current scale is robust automation."
"Managing our BDI infrastructure globally is simple, and BlueCat's personalized relationship with us is valuable to our organization."
"BlueCat Integrity's scalability and user-friendliness are the most valuable features."
"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."
"It is a stable solution. I rate the stability a ten out of ten...I rate the scalability a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable features of the solution are performance and security."
"The solution automatically detects and responds to certain types of traffic based on geolocation."
"The solution is stable, and the DNS servers are simple to use."
"Its most significant benefit to date is the speed with which it refreshes DNS records on the internet once you change it. If you are changing a website or registering a new record, it is very quick."
"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."
"Adaptive DNS only supports AWS for network automation and cloud computing and would be improved if it also supported other options like Azure or Google Cloud."
"The technical support is slow and has room for improvement."
"The IPAM dashboard could be enhanced to display more information and provide data analysis features."
"During our testing phase, we encountered some issues with Active Directory and DNS reverse lookups."
"Usability needs to be better."
"The ease of use is where I got to give a little knock on them. Once you start using the tool, it becomes very easy. It's actually quite easy to use. The problem that I run into is documentation. The documentation could be a little bit richer. Documentation has always been a little pet peeve for me with them."
"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."
"However, it does not offer robust support for high availability failover with different subnets, especially if the servers are located in different data centers and belong to distinct IP networks."
"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."
"I believe they currently have this feature, but there will most likely be integration with APIs so we can control some features through API."
"An integrated SSO feature would be useful for Cloudflare DNS."
"The analytics, basically the dashboard, doesn't have much to it."
"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."
"It would be helpful if the solution could continue evolving to compete with the other solutions on the market."
"The tool needs to improve caching of servers. The product needs to include PFX certificate as well."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
