"There is a steep learning curve to be able to use Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection well."
"Infoblox lacks an extensive product portfolio."
"Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection could be more user-friendly because you need knowledge if you want to use it. To handle the solution, you need to be a subject matter expert, so this is one area for improvement."
