Cons
"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.""The solution is expensive.""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.""I think only the technical documentation and administration of box could be a little bit improved.""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.""They should release frequent updates for its on-premises version."

"The TLS encryption needs to be improved. It's not state of the art.""Proofpoint Cloud App Security Broker should be cheaper.""I think some of the hiccups that we had were with the number of domains that we had and how that had to be implemented in Proofpoint.""They are priced significantly higher and less cost-effective than alternative options."
