More Akamai Secure Internet Access Enterprise Cons →

"Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection could be more user-friendly because you need knowledge if you want to use it. To handle the solution, you need to be a subject matter expert, so this is one area for improvement.""The service monitoring information could be simplified of this appliance and the information displayed on the dashboards could be improved. I have not found one dashboard to be perfect. For example, in Splunk, I can create a dashboard in Grafana. However, in Grafana, it takes a very long time to create them. There should be another API to do it better.""The solution's logging could be improved.""There should be better alerts for when attacks are happening.""There needs to be more capabilities in order to configure the console itself instead of the user interface dashboard. Configuring the DNS or DHCP through the console instead of the GUI dashboard would be better.""There is a steep learning curve to be able to use Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection well.""The solution is expensive.""They should release frequent updates for its on-premises version."
