"BIG-IP DNS's best features are DNS monitoring and global service load balancing."
"Using the reporting, we can tell that we have gained an extra layer of protection. Just by looking at it, we can see what is being blocked before it even makes it to the firewall. It is definitely working."
"The most important features for us are preventing DDOS DNS attacks."
"With the model we have, we are able to scale very easily if we need to."
"The dossier feature is perfect for starting an investigation."
"The product is stable."
"The most valuable feature is policy redirecting and security reports."
"Infoblox BloxOne Threat Defense furthers the existing security posture rather than replacing or trying to replace any existing products."
"Our ability to detect data exfiltration was minimal before Infoblox and the cloud portal was instituted for us. In terms of DNS security as a whole, we had some capability with our firewalls, but this is a lot more specialized because we're sending all of our DNS requests to Infoblox. I'd say we improved 100%."
"The costs could always be a bit lower."
"Scalability is a concern, it could be improved."
"I sometimes encounter issues with the porting of F5 BIG-IP DNS."
"The initial setup could be easier."

"I would like to see more marketing documentation, rather than technical documentation."
"There is room for improvement in pricing. It is very pricey."
"The monitoring capabilities of F5 BIG-IP DNS could be improved."
"A lot of their documentation needs improvement."
"This is not just Infoblox, this could be any portal provider, cloud provider, sometimes they change the look of the customer-facing options and it's not completely clear why they make the change."
"They could work on the UI of their website and make their website more user-friendly."
"The integration of threat intelligence with other solutions is challenging. If I want to expose threat intelligence, I cannot do it via taxi services. I have to call the API, but the customers are not into creating the APIs. The integration of embedded threat intelligence with other platforms should be better. Infoblox should work on this, and it should be easier for the end user to integrate it. It is very easy to deploy this solution. We should be able to integrate it with other platforms, such as the Next-Generation Firewall, with the same ease."
"The product could be cheaper."
"The onboarding is a little rough at times, and you need to have some information at hand. It is pretty good, but it would be useful to have a few good examples to set up things like data exfiltration."
"The initial setup is not a simple "click-click-next" installation. It requires some level of experience ."
"The research side and the reporting side need improvement. Both of those are items on the menu. They could use a little bit of cleanup to make their respective information more easily understood."
