We performed a comparison between BlueCat Integrity and Cloudflare DNS based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Managed DNS solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."DNS aliases, which we use extensively in our applications are a valuable feature."
"As a defense contractor, we must meet many compliance standards regarding logging, configuration, and administrative access. BlueCat is one of the few products that combines all the compliance components in a secure, reliable solution."
"One of the key features enabling us to operate at our current scale is robust automation."
"Since implementing BlueCat, we have experienced fewer problems, anomalies, and strange issues."
"Adaptive DNS's best feature is DDoS protection, which stops malware and network security attacks."
"The solution is scalable in multiple ways."
"It's a critical infrastructure piece. This is where all the IPs are named for the whole organization. It's a big deal. It has all the features related to DNS and DHCP. It's pretty amazing."
"One of the better things about Integrity is that the underlying code it uses is an ISC DNS and DHCP. It's not like some of the other vendors that have created their own version of DNS."
"The solution automatically detects and responds to certain types of traffic based on geolocation."
"The most valuable features of the solution are performance and security."
"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."
"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."
"It is a stable solution. I rate the stability a ten out of ten...I rate the scalability a ten out of ten."
"Its ease of integration with Office 365 and the fact that it's a good product compared to what I had before"
"The most valuable feature of the solution is external DNS. It is also very secure. They have their own main server and once you configure it, the product takes care of everything. There are no issues in resolving IPs and low latency is also present."
"The solution is stable, and the DNS servers are simple to use."
"One crucial area for development is IPv6 support."
"BlueCat Integrity can improve by increasing the amount of updates it releases."
"The ease of use is where I got to give a little knock on them. Once you start using the tool, it becomes very easy. It's actually quite easy to use. The problem that I run into is documentation. The documentation could be a little bit richer. Documentation has always been a little pet peeve for me with them."
"One complaint about the interface is BlueCat's handling of subzones."
"The UI is outdated and needs a modern refresh."
"However, it does not offer robust support for high availability failover with different subnets, especially if the servers are located in different data centers and belong to distinct IP networks."
"During our testing phase, we encountered some issues with Active Directory and DNS reverse lookups."
"The integration has room for improvement."
"An integrated SSO feature would be useful 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."
"I believe they currently have this feature, but there will most likely be integration with APIs so we can control some features through API."
"The documentation could improve for Cloudflare DNS."
"There might be helpful if there was some web application firewall feature."
"Cloudflare should add more documentation and pricing to the cloud version."
"The analytics, basically the dashboard, doesn't have much to it."
"Cloudflare doesn't have a reverse lookup. We can only do a DNS lookup to get the IP address from the hostname. It doesn't work if you want to look up the hostname from an IPA address."
