We performed a comparison between BlueCat Integrity and Infoblox DDI 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."I've been impressed by BlueCat's performance and user-friendly GUI."
"DNS aliases, which we use extensively in our applications are a valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is the IPAMs, which provide visibility into all the IP addresses on the network."
"One of the key features enabling us to operate at our current scale is robust automation."
"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."
"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."
"Infoblox DDI prioritizes DNS security, which is crucial for the security department."
"Infoblox DDI is a good tool if you want to centralize everything in your environment...It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature of Infoblox DDI is its IP Address Management (IPAM) tool. This tool allows for the effective management of IP addresses and provides the capability to detect duplicates, hence its moniker "discovery." Another feature that I find particularly useful is the integration of DNS, which can be seamlessly integrated with your existing primary DNS server, making the overall experience much more seamless and efficient."
"It offers an easy initial setup."
"The best feature is the user interface."
"Infoblox has more technology patents than any of its competitors."
"During our testing phase, we encountered some issues with Active Directory and DNS reverse lookups."
"When you replace an appliance, there are many configuration steps, so adding zero-touch provisioning would be helpful. It can be quite tedious and time-consuming to replace a device if it fails or deploy a new one."
"One crucial area for development is IPv6 support."
"The DNS and DHCP servers for guests are separated from the main organization. A lot of times, it doesn't allow you to choose a default IP space. When I log in to the GUI, it doesn't default to where I want it to be. So far, I haven't been able to find out how to change or specify that so that it defaults to a particular space, such as the main org. If I'm looking for the IP space for guests, I need to toggle and go to the guest site. Most of the time, I want the IP space for the org to be my main space, but it doesn't give me the ability to do that, or I haven't been able to find that over the last two years."
"Adaptive DNS only supports AWS for network automation and cloud computing and would be improved if it also supported other options like Azure or Google Cloud."
"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."
"The technical support is slow and has room for improvement."
"One complaint about the interface is BlueCat's handling of subzones."
"The solution is expensive."
"Regarding an upcoming release of Infoblox DDI, I would like to see an improvement in the existing integration with Ansible. Currently, the integration is not up to par and requires further enhancements, particularly in Ansible version 2.5. Additionally, the GUI is slow, it could be improved."
"The recategorization part takes longer with Infoblox DDI compared to other companies like Symantec, Zscaler, and Palo Alto."
"They need to provide more training and tutorials than what's provided on the website."
"They need to reconsider their pricing for their SMB customers. It is a hurdle for them to manage the price."
