We performed a comparison between Azure DNS and BlueCat Integrity 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."The tool is easy to manage and use."
"Data protection is paramount across cloud platforms"
"The integration with other services on Azure is valuable."
"The initial setup is easy and the solution is user-friendly"
"It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a stable product."
"The initial setup is straightforward and not that complex."
"What I like about Azure DNS is that it doesn't have any issues and integrates quickly with other products. It has good integration, which is incredible. I also like that whenever you deploy private links and endpoints, Azure DNS gives you the option to select the Azure native DNS, private DNS, or go with the Azure custom DNS. It depends, but if you don't have any dependencies on the DNS, then, like many customers, you won't have DNS issues. Azure DNS is a very good solution that helps you with domains and other resources."
"The most valuable piece, which has been a lifesaver, would be the BlueCat DNS resolver. BlueCat Cloud DNS resolver is a tool that takes a look into your cloud's DNS and then reports back everything it finds into BlueCat's DNS Edge solution. The Edge solution has a bunch of nice rules that you can configure to route the DNS traffic. That automation alone is a lifesaver for me for the day-to-day churn of the DNS components that change on an hourly, daily basis."
"The solution is scalable in multiple ways."
"BlueCat Integrity's scalability and user-friendliness are the most valuable features."
"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."
"Managing our BDI infrastructure globally is simple, and BlueCat's personalized relationship with us is valuable to our organization."
"Adaptive DNS's best feature is DDoS protection, which stops malware and network security attacks."
"One of the key features enabling us to operate at our current scale is robust automation."
"DNS aliases, which we use extensively in our applications are a valuable feature."
"The pricing can be more competitive."
"Azure DNS could improve by having more updates."
"There are issues with the cloud systems."
"The web interface to manage the solution must be made easier."
"Azure DNS does provide enhanced support for applications and includes several security features to protect against threats. One of the security features it offers is the ability to detect and prevent dangling DNS records, which can be used in cyber attacks. Dangling DNS records occur when a website owner creates a domain name but forgets to remove the CNAME record, leaving the domain vulnerable to takeover by malicious actors. Azure DNS includes security measures to identify and prevent such threats, helping to keep your DNS infrastructure secure. However, if Microsoft could add more security capabilities to the DNS, that would be great to detect and identify anomalies that are happening to prevent cyber threats."
"The licensing cost should be improved."
"While it's stable, there's always room for improvement to ensure it remains reliable."
"Azure DNS' documentation needs to improve."
"While knowledge is a factor, both technical support and training need a significant overhaul."
"The IPAM dashboard could be enhanced to display more information and provide data analysis features."
"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."
"The technical support is slow and has room for improvement."
"The integration has room for improvement."
"One crucial area for development is IPv6 support."
"BlueCat Integrity can improve by increasing the amount of updates it releases."
"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."
