We performed a comparison between BlueCat Edge and Palo Alto Networks DNS Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Domain Name System (DNS) Security solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The unparalleled visibility offered by BlueCat Edge is arguably the most critical benefit we receive."
"What I found most valuable is the ability to put it in place and integrate it very quickly. It allows us to create routing rule sets to route DNS traffic where it needs to go most efficiently in our environment."
"We implemented BlueCat Edge to solve the visibility and security issues we were having."
"It allows us to easily monitor our subnets and routers."
"IP Address Management (IPAM) is the most valuable."
"The most valuable features of the solution are DNSSEC and the domain generation algorithm."
"DNS security is required to filter out the DNS traffic, any DNS-based attacks, DNS DDoS attacks, and DNS amplification attacks."
"When comparing other cloud-based DNS security solutions to this one I have found the main beneficial feature in this solution to be we do not need to change our architecture."
"Palo Alto Networks DNS Security is a stable solution."
"The stability is excellent and the product is very mature."
"The support team has good knowledge about the solution."
"DNS sinkhole is a valuable feature."
"We now have insight into our DNS requests and we can actively see how many thousands of malicious requests have gotten knocked down in the last day or week that we didn't have before. There's more insight for both security and more insight."
"A more graphical user interface would be a benefit."
"I have concerns about several aspects of BlueCat's site management."
"Its price is on the higher side."
"The main improvement for BlueCat Edge's security configuration would be more granular control."
"One pain point concerning DNS Edge is the inability to see per Edge endpoint, what devices are querying against it. They do have the capability for you to look at that data, but the data is roughly 24 to 48 hours old. I am looking for real-time data, and I cannot get that per Edge endpoint."
"I'm not really sure what needs improvement. The only hiccup I've really seen is a couple of the DNS requests get flagged as the Sophos traffic instead of DNS traffic, but that's more of their app detection in the DNS Security. I haven't really seen any issues with the DNS security."
"Sometimes, it blocks legitimate traffic for custom applications, requiring manual intervention."
"The solution’s scalability could be improved."
"The solution can capture more market if made more cost-competitive than Infoblox or Cisco Umbrella."
"The installation is more complex because the solution has another approach to security."
"There should be an on-premise version of this solution."
"The scalability can be improved."
"The product should provide email protection."
