Infoblox IPAM provides visibility into what's on your network and helps fingerprint devices based on the OS, manufacturer, and other things along those lines.

Likewise, their Grid construct is a solid and well-tested architecture from a redundancy perspective, having multiple devices spread out, either gathering different information or serving as redundant to each other.

The features we found the most valuable were being able to handle DHCP scopes and handing out DHCP leases. We weren't doing some of the things that we can do, such as DNS query rate limiting. Our usage was pretty standard. We wanted to be able to track our IP addresses to create DNS entries and then create DHCP and manage DHCP scopes. We used the standard features the most.

For me, the best feature of Infoblox IPAM is that you can use BloxOne DDI which means you can manage everything from the cloud and have security policies as well. I also like that Infoblox IPAM is plug-and-play.

It helps to avoid manual mistakes and we can add the proper DNS if we add an Alias name to that. We are aware of the CNAME we need to use. By using Infoblox as a DNS, we can add the A and PTR records, which is helpful for the lookup as well as the reverse lookup. 

Technically, it has most of the features, such as VLAN tagging and Zone tagging.

I think the product as a whole is very simple to use. 

The graphical user interface is very user-friendly and simple to use. It is very simple to use if you have never used it before. 

I would say that the overall usability is excellent.

I really like how the product works, it has been very beneficial to us.

Infoblox gives us the flexibility to manage our internal networks and publish the data outside of the network on the internet. It's quite fluid to do it.

Before IPAM (IP Address Management) came into the picture, every user had to depend on an Active Directory engineer to get an IP assigned. With Infoblox IPAM, there's automation or auto assignment of IP addresses which is a valuable feature. There's also the capability of storing many networks in one place through the solution. Infoblox IPAM solved the major issue of needing an Active Directory engineer to assign an IP.

The most important feature of Infoblox IPAM for my clients is its reliability.

We can specify the availability of subnets when we create them. 

The most valuable feature is reporting. Infoblox IPAM has very good reporting, which helps us plan our IP address allocation on-premises, remote sites and data centers.

Regarding DDI, I would say the best feature of Infoblox is the DNS security. DNS tunneling is a significant security issue and is very difficult to protect against based on our tests with other types of security devices. However, Infoblox eliminates this issue and provides excellent security against a difficult threat.

We chose this product because it provides us with IP management and a DNS and DSTP solution. From a security engineer's perspective, Infoblox DNS security is the best in the industry.

Regarding the product as an IPAM solution, I would say the best feature is the Discovery feature, which provides enhanced visibility over the entire network infrastructure and automatically creates DNS records for discovered IP addresses.

There are many tools on the market; however, the other products don't combine DNS, DSTP and IP management in one solution. The power of Infoblox IPAM is that it offers all of those, opening up capabilities such as creating IP management tables and providing an overview of the network infrastructure.

This is a DDI solution and having one management control has been most useful.

IPAM's best features include the view of how many soft nets are filled from your container and the grid master. It's also excellent for server management.

One of the most valuable features of this solution has been DNS security. It has a solid foundation for building DNS, DHCP, and Advanced Threat Prevention.
