We performed a comparison between BlueCat Integrity and Infoblox DDI 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 solution includes automatic management of segments."
"DNS aliases, which we use extensively in our applications are a valuable feature."
"The most valuable features are scalability and cloud infrastructure."
"One of the key features enabling us to operate at our current scale is robust automation."
"The solution is scalable in multiple ways."
"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."
"Since implementing BlueCat, we have experienced fewer problems, anomalies, and strange issues."
"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."
"Infoblox DDI is a good tool if you want to centralize everything in your environment...It is a stable solution."
"The best feature is the user interface."
"The most valuable feature of Infoblox DDI is its IP Address Management (IPAM) tool. This tool allows for the effective management of IP addresses and provides the capability to detect duplicates, hence its moniker "discovery." Another feature that I find particularly useful is the integration of DNS, which can be seamlessly integrated with your existing primary DNS server, making the overall experience much more seamless and efficient."
"It offers an easy initial setup."
"Infoblox has more technology patents than any of its competitors."
"Infoblox DDI prioritizes DNS security, which is crucial for the security department."
"The integration has room for improvement."
"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."
"One crucial area for development is IPv6 support."
"The technical support is slow and has room for improvement."
"The solution does not export reports in a comprehensive format."
"The UI is outdated and needs a modern refresh."
"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 complaint about the interface is BlueCat's handling of subzones."
"The solution is expensive."
"The recategorization part takes longer with Infoblox DDI compared to other companies like Symantec, Zscaler, and Palo Alto."
"They need to reconsider their pricing for their SMB customers. It is a hurdle for them to manage the price."
"Regarding an upcoming release of Infoblox DDI, I would like to see an improvement in the existing integration with Ansible. Currently, the integration is not up to par and requires further enhancements, particularly in Ansible version 2.5. Additionally, the GUI is slow, it could be improved."
"They need to provide more training and tutorials than what's provided on the website."
