Pros
"The most valuable features of the solution are performance and security.""The most valuable feature of Cloudflare DNS is its global reach and it is always evolving.""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.""Cloudflare DNS is widely used, and it's good for websites.

You can create a domain for performing test requests before you move to the production environment and connect various domains.""Its most significant benefit to date is the speed with which it refreshes DNS records on the internet once you change it. If you are changing a website or registering a new record, it is very quick."

"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.""It offers an easy initial setup.""Infoblox DDI is a good tool if you want to centralize everything in your environment...It is a stable solution.""The best feature is the user interface.""Infoblox DDI prioritizes DNS security, which is crucial for the security department.""Infoblox has more technology patents than any of its competitors."

Cons
"An integrated SSO feature would be useful for Cloudflare DNS.""The solution could be more user-friendly.""I believe they currently have this feature, but there will most likely be integration with APIs so we can control some features through API.""Cloudflare should add more documentation and pricing to the cloud version.""The tool needs to improve caching of servers. The product needs to include PFX certificate as well.""There might be helpful if there was some web application firewall feature.""The documentation could improve for Cloudflare DNS.""Areas like how assessment, discovery, and payload are dealt with and how it all comes into your organization can be considered when trying to make suggestions to Cloudflare for improvements."

More Cloudflare DNS Cons →

"They need to provide more training and tutorials than what's provided on the website.""They need to reconsider their pricing for their SMB customers. It is a hurdle for them to manage the price.""The solution is expensive.""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.""The recategorization part takes longer with Infoblox DDI compared to other companies like Symantec, Zscaler, and Palo Alto."
