We performed a comparison between Cloudflare DNS 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 is stable, and the DNS servers are simple to use."
"The attacker won't have details since my public IP is anonymous. It offers us good privacy."
"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare DNS is security."
"Even when there is a high load on our servers, Cloudflare is able to cache the data and serve it to users, ensuring they can still access the website."
"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare DNS is its global reach and it is always evolving."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is external DNS. It is also very secure. They have their own main server and once you configure it, the product takes care of everything. There are no issues in resolving IPs and low latency is also present."
"The solution automatically detects and responds to certain types of traffic based on geolocation."
"I get a lot of value from Cloudflare's API because it enables you to build a separate environment inside the solution. You can create a domain for performing test requests before you move to the production environment and connect various domains."
"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."
"Infoblox DDI is a good tool if you want to centralize everything in your environment...It is a stable solution."
"Infoblox has more technology patents than any of its competitors."
"It offers an easy initial setup."
"Infoblox DDI prioritizes DNS security, which is crucial for the security department."
"The best feature is the user interface."
"An integrated SSO feature would be useful for Cloudflare DNS."
"Cloudflare should add more documentation and pricing to the cloud version."
"Cloudflare's free plan is limited to 5,000 records for their free plan. They should increase that. For example, if I create a domain called abc.com and a subdomain called a.abc.com, my record count will be two. I can make a maximum of 5,000 subdomains. However, if we use our own DNS hosted on another provider, there is no limit. Their free plan also lacks name server customization."
"There might be helpful if there was some web application firewall feature."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"It would be helpful if the solution could continue evolving to compete with the other solutions on the market."
"We have noticed multiple instances where Cloudflare falsely indicates that our servers are down, even when there is no actual load on them. This makes it challenging for us to identify the exact issue."
"I believe they currently have this feature, but there will most likely be integration with APIs so we can control some features through API."
"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."
"The recategorization part takes longer with Infoblox DDI compared to other companies like Symantec, Zscaler, and Palo Alto."
"The solution is expensive."
