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."Azure DNS provides value beyond its user-friendly interface and easy learning curve."
"Can be configured to achieve a hundred percent reliability"
"Azure DNS is a user-friendly and very easy-to-manage solution."
"The solution is easy to use and flexible."
"Data protection is paramount across cloud platforms"
"The setup is relatively straightforward."
"The initial setup is straightforward and not that complex."
"From a security perspective, Microsoft is much better than other cloud providers."
"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."
"Infoblox has more technology patents than any of its competitors."
"The best feature is the user interface."
"It offers an easy initial setup."
"Infoblox DDI prioritizes DNS security, which is crucial for the security department."
"The DNSSEC feature is not yet available on the DNS server so it needs to be added."
"What needs improvement in Azure DNS is visibility in terms of troubleshooting. It's similar to the area for improvement in Azure Network Watcher, where I can see how the source is going out if I'm troubleshooting a source destination. I can also see the destination. As for seeing how the packet travels, that's what should be improved. It's still lacking in visibility. Suppose I'm looking into backend machines, and if I'm hitting another NPM machine or any machine on the other side, there should be visibility. The tool should tell you that a specific machine is passing through a VPN gateway or route table, routing to a third-party firewall, and then dropping. Azure DNS should show an accurate answer to help the customers, which is its area for improvement."
"The initial setup of this solution could be less complex and require less manual configurations."
"The web interface to manage the solution must be made easier."
"There are some issues with the solution's performance where improvements are needed."
"I would like to see more integration with other platforms, improved stability, enhanced security, and better pricing because there is always room for improvement."
"Domain registration is one of the problems. We need to go to application services or web apps to purchase the domain instead. If that were to be equivalent to AWS's Route 53 that would be good. But, it is not as flexible as that."
"They should include more integration with other platforms."
"The recategorization part takes longer with Infoblox DDI compared to other companies like Symantec, Zscaler, and Palo Alto."
"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."
"They need to reconsider their pricing for their SMB customers. It is a hurdle for them to manage the price."
"The solution is expensive."
"They need to provide more training and tutorials than what's provided on the website."
