Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Infoblox, TitanHQ and others in Domain Name System (DNS) Security."The best feature of Akamai SPS Threat Avert is that it's very user-friendly compared to other technologies."
"The automatic blocklists are most valuable. A box can maintain several lists from which we can choose if we need to block more or less. We don't have to manually manage the lists ourselves. They're automatically updated."
"The reporting ability is helpful. It allows us to control what our users are able to resolve, and then be able to see reports on that."
"Our ability to detect data exfiltration was minimal before Infoblox and the cloud portal was instituted for us. In terms of DNS security as a whole, we had some capability with our firewalls, but this is a lot more specialized because we're sending all of our DNS requests to Infoblox. I'd say we improved 100%."
"When it comes to helping to detect DNS threats, BloxOne is good on all fronts. The number of false positives is very low, close to none. More than once it has detected new names or lookalike names and protected us and saved us from bad characters."
"The most valuable feature is policy redirecting and security reports."
"The dossier feature is perfect for starting an investigation."
"The most important features for us are preventing DDOS DNS attacks."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the granularity for which you can categorize what you want to block versus what you don't want to block."
"Akamai SPS Threat Avert's pricing could be improved because it's a very expensive enterprise solution."
"They could work on the UI of their website and make their website more user-friendly."
"The setup was horrible. About a year ago, Infoblox made us re-enroll all our on-prem DNS servers by a set date to a specific version, or it would stop working. I told my colleague, "Oh, here, we have to upgrade the servers and reconnect them to the CSP." That did not go well at all."
"The initial setup is not a simple "click-click-next" installation. It requires some level of experience ."
"The research side and the reporting side need improvement. Both of those are items on the menu. They could use a little bit of cleanup to make their respective information more easily understood."
"Endpoint solutions need to improved."
"The dashboard and reporting features need improvement. The user needs more informative dashboards so they can get to the results directly without getting deep in the report to get to the information."
"The documentation needs to be improved because there are a lot of different models that it can be deployed in, and it's somewhat confusing determining what you need and how to set it up to best cover your use cases."
"The product could be cheaper."
