We performed a comparison between Amazon Route 53 and BlueCat Integrity 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 scalability is the most valuable feature."
"It stands out for its user-friendly interface, seamless integration with other AWS services, and ability to efficiently manage DNS, making it a valuable tool for various deployment scenarios, including those involving Kubernetes on AWS."
"The solution offers you the flexibility to control configuration rules."
"The solution is cost-effective."
"We use Amazon Route 53 for dynamic naming and routing policy."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"The initial setup is good and straightforward."
"Amazon Route 53 is a DNS resolution service that helps you to map your hostname to another hostname."
"BlueCat Integrity provides us with flexibility and visibility that we did not have before."
"One of the key features enabling us to operate at our current scale is robust automation."
"The most valuable feature is the IPAMs, which provide visibility into all the IP addresses on the network."
"This inherent stability, derived from its Linux-based architecture, provides a well-established and reliable platform."
"Since implementing BlueCat, we have experienced fewer problems, anomalies, and strange issues."
"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 most valuable features are scalability and cloud infrastructure."
"It's a critical infrastructure piece. This is where all the IPs are named for the whole organization. It's a big deal. It has all the features related to DNS and DHCP. It's pretty amazing."
"The solution should include more robust and secure services for hardening sites."
"The product should improve its automation."
"When we are looking at the model registry, it may be not clear sometimes. For example, if you use a single grid model and group or registry, it has a different SDK in the pilot. And it may be not so comfortable to use both of them because it is two different places for keeping things in order."
"The multiple routing policies present in the product have certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"It is difficult to manage the product if the person involved in the setup process doesn't know much about the solution."
"Streamlining and optimizing processes related to Procter, VPN workflows, and other subjects based on specific needs would allow for continual improvement and adaptation to the evolving requirements of the system."
"It may not always be easy to integrate with on-premise infrastructure, especially with the complexity of the resolver and other factors involved. Improvements could be made to enhance the ability to integrate seamlessly."
"The solution’s pricing and technical support could be improved."
"The solution does not export reports in a comprehensive format."
"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."
"One crucial area for development is IPv6 support."
"One complaint about the interface is BlueCat's handling of subzones."
"The technical support is slow and has room for improvement."
"The UI is outdated and needs a modern refresh."
"Usability needs to be better."
"The integration has room for improvement."
