We performed a comparison between BlueCat Edge and Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Domain Name System (DNS) Security solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"It allows us to easily monitor our subnets and routers."
"What I found most valuable is the ability to put it in place and integrate it very quickly. It allows us to create routing rule sets to route DNS traffic where it needs to go most efficiently in our environment."
"IP Address Management (IPAM) is the most valuable."
"We implemented BlueCat Edge to solve the visibility and security issues we were having."
"The security of the solution is perfect. It's very good at protecting us from attacks."
"I like that Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection is one hundred percent good, performance-wise."
"The solution helps to identify and mitigate DNS attacks."
"DHCP is a basic service, and they've been doing it for years, so it's mature and stable."
"Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection allows us to manage our overall addresses and IT in one location. Many companies are using this solution, it is very popular."
"Infoblox offers granularity and advanced DNS protection to mitigate DNS attacks. It's a very secure solution."
"It is a stable solution."
"The solution's user interface is very smooth compared to other products."
"One pain point concerning DNS Edge is the inability to see per Edge endpoint, what devices are querying against it. They do have the capability for you to look at that data, but the data is roughly 24 to 48 hours old. I am looking for real-time data, and I cannot get that per Edge endpoint."
"A more graphical user interface would be a benefit."
"I have concerns about several aspects of BlueCat's site management."
"Its price is on the higher side."
"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."
"Infoblox lacks an extensive product portfolio."
"They should release frequent updates for its on-premises version."
"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."
"The solution's logging could be improved."
"The solution is expensive."
"They are not supporting high query logging. They have a very limited size for the syslog, so they are usually asking for external storage, external network, and integration in order to keep the syslog. If you are considering the high volume traffic of the carrier-grade, then the syslog will hold for around five to 10 minutes. This is not enough time and it is being rotated. This is the main issue and the main limitation that we face with them that they need to work on."
