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."
"We haven't faced any outages or issues directly related to Route 53. It has been 100% stable for me."
"The main DNS resolution is really, really fast."
"The solution has a user-friendly dashboard."
"The solution is cost-effective."
"The solution offers you the flexibility to control configuration rules."
"The initial setup is good and straightforward."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"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 most valuable piece, which has been a lifesaver, would be the BlueCat DNS resolver. BlueCat Cloud DNS resolver is a tool that takes a look into your cloud's DNS and then reports back everything it finds into BlueCat's DNS Edge solution. The Edge solution has a bunch of nice rules that you can configure to route the DNS traffic. That automation alone is a lifesaver for me for the day-to-day churn of the DNS components that change on an hourly, daily basis."
"The solution includes automatic management of segments."
"BlueCat Integrity provides us with flexibility and visibility that we did not have before."
"Managing our BDI infrastructure globally is simple, and BlueCat's personalized relationship with us is valuable to our organization."
"DNS aliases, which we use extensively in our applications are a valuable feature."
"The most valuable features are scalability and cloud infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature is the IPAMs, which provide visibility into all the IP addresses on the network."
"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."
"The multiple routing policies present in the product have certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The solution’s pricing and technical support could be improved."
"The platform is more complicated to learn than one of its competitors."
"The cost calculator for determining the cost of Route 53 is a little bit obscure."
"The solution’s pricing could be reduced."
"The product could improve its price."
"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 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."
"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."
"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."
"The technical support is slow and has room for improvement."
"The solution does not export reports in a comprehensive format."
"I would like the GUI to be similar to AWS and Azure, where we can simply click on an item to expand it and see all the information on one page, without having to click to the next page."
"Usability needs to be better."
"During our testing phase, we encountered some issues with Active Directory and DNS reverse lookups."
