"The solution is not very scalable, to scale up would require another deployment with a new appliance and a change to the network."
"Lacks a VM demo to enable testing prior to purchase."
"The upgrade process could be a bit smoother."
"The solution's logging could be improved."
"The solution is expensive."
"There should be better alerts for when attacks are happening."
"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."
"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 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."
"There is a steep learning curve to be able to use Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection well."
"The price could be reduced to improve the solution."
