"The most valuable features provided by this solution are visibility and information."
"The most valuable features of Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection are the services, DHCP, and debugging. Additionally, we can use APIs and ansible scripts."
"DHCP is a basic service, and they've been doing it for years, so it's mature and stable."
"Grid high availability technology ensured network reliability, resilient network services, failover, recovery, and seamless maintenance."
"The most valuable feature of Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection is its performance and visibility."

"I like that Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection is one hundred percent good, performance-wise."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"One thing I would like to see improved is if it could automatically be tied through ISE, instead of you having to manually get notifications and disable it yourself."
"I would like to see some improvement when it comes to reporting."
"The visualization could be improved, the GUI is not the best."
"We had some trouble with the installation as we migrated from our previous solution."
"We haven't seen ROI."
"I would like the search page available with Cisco Stealthwatch to be more intuitive. The previous release was better than the current one for the UI."
"If there was one improvement I’d suggest it would be that it detect traffic through an intranet. The product requires that traffic flow through a managed network device. The product is designed mostly for enterprise environments and not smaller environments or businesses."
"The initial setup is complex, as there is a lot to configure."
"The solution's logging could be improved."
"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."
"They should release frequent updates for its on-premises version."
"Infoblox lacks an extensive product portfolio."
"The price could be reduced to improve the solution."
"I think only the technical documentation and administration of box could be a little bit improved."
"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."
"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."
