Easy to use, simple licensing, and has a single pane of glass view

The solution is too granular and sometimes complex to configure. We do not always need so many details. Simpler configurations with fewer details would be beneficial. The API aspect could be improved with more use cases and better handling of object attributes. It is already better than in previous versions. Their product team is planning further improvements in the upcoming version 9.6. Last month, we had a roadmap meeting with the BlueCat product team. There will be a lot of improvements in version 9.6 coming in the second half of 2025. We will then upgrade our system to that one. It will have quite a lot of new features.

Centralized visibility has streamlined IP workflows and now needs more customization and AI

Infoblox IPAM's integration with DNS and DHCP helps me streamline my network operations as an internal process. It is automatically connected with DHCP, and IPAM is internally connected with DHCP. I utilize the automated IP address discovery feature with Infoblox IPAM, which is called Network Discovery. For Network Discovery, it actually helps with workflow because we have to configure the seed routers, then SNMP credentials, then CLI credentials. There are different ways to configure the different types of devices, such as devices in firewalls, devices in SDN elements, and devices connected with a switch. There are multiple ways to discover the devices. For the valuable insights I have gained from Infoblox IPAM's real-time visibility and analytics, we have to set the SNMP polling. For the discovery, it may take approximately 24 hours to fetch all the details and get all the updates, including all discovered devices and their fetched details.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"BlueCat Integrity provides us with flexibility and visibility that we did not have before."

"It is easy to use. It has an understandable GUI interface. Its deployment is relatively easy."

"BlueCat saved us money in terms of a life-and-death scenario and the stress factors that surround that in a healthcare environment. We generally don't have downtime in our DATP environments anymore. The clinics and the hospitals can continue to operate and not be in that position to be down."

"This inherent stability, derived from its Linux-based architecture, provides a well-established and reliable platform."

"Managing our BDI infrastructure globally is simple, and BlueCat's personalized relationship with us is valuable to our organization."

"The most valuable aspect is its user-friendly interface. It is straightforward to use."

"The most valuable features of BlueCat Integrity are the user-friendly UI and the permission management."

"The most valuable features are scalability and cloud infrastructure."

More BlueCat Integrity pros

"Infoblox IPAM provides visibility into what's on your network and helps fingerprint devices based on the OS, manufacturer, and other things along those lines."

"One of the most valuable features of this solution has been DNS security. It has a solid foundation for building DNS, DHCP, and Advanced Threat Prevention."

"This is a DDI solution and having one management control has been most useful."

"The graphical user interface is very user-friendly and simple to use. It is very simple to use if you have never used it before."

"The most important feature of Infoblox IPAM for my clients is its reliability."

"It provides us with flexibility."

"It helps to avoid manual mistakes and we can add the proper DNS if we add an Alias name to that. We are aware of the CNAME we need to use. By using Infoblox as a DNS, we can add the A and PTR records, which is helpful for the lookup as well as the reverse lookup."

"For me, the best feature of Infoblox IPAM is that you can use BloxOne DDI which means you can manage everything from the cloud and have security policies as well. I also like that Infoblox IPAM is plug-and-play."

More Infoblox IPAM pros

Cons

"The technical support is slow and has room for improvement."

"I would like the GUI to be similar to AWS and Azure, where we can simply click on an item to expand it and see all the information on one page, without having to click to the next page."

"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."

"The IPAM dashboard could be enhanced to display more information and provide data analysis features."

"The solution is too granular and sometimes complex to configure. We do not always need so many details. Simpler configurations with fewer details would be beneficial."

"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."

More BlueCat Integrity cons

"When we use the forwarders or when we're trying to connect with the internet, sometimes there are issues and the publishing time is longer."

"Their biggest problem is with the corporate side of the house as far as getting a support response or getting a sales team response isn't always as efficient as it should be and as it used to be."

"It is challenging to find training tutorials online."

"The solution is not easy to use; the GUI and CLI are challenging to use, limiting end-user capability. We can't use Linux terminal features with Infoblox, as it struggles to detect and troubleshoot problems. We generally use troubleshooting tools like tcpdump in our network security area and we can use that in Infoblox with limited features."

"How you track IPs within a subnet and how all of that works was not intuitive to me. If I compare it to VitalQIP, I create a subnet, and it's a slash 24 size. It's very easy. I look, and here are my 254 IPs. I can then see if I have assigned a static, do I have a DHCP scope, and what's the name of the device. That's all there in front of me. The thing that I found frustrating with Infoblox was that it was not very intuitive."

"The only room for improvement in Infoblox IPAM is its compatibility and flexibility with IPv6. There's been an issue transitioning from IPv4 to IPv6, and though Infoblox is in the process of resolving the issue, it would be better if the team could come up with a solution in a quicker timeframe. Better transitioning from IPv4 to IPv6 is what I'd like to see in the next release of the solution."

"CLI needs to be user-friendly. There should be an option to commit changes."

"From an IPAM standpoint, DHCP is an area that needs to be improved."

More Infoblox IPAM cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our licensing model with BlueCat Integrity is cheaper than Infoblox."

"BlueCat Integrity is a little expensive, but it's worth the price because it offers the flexibility and features we need in our space. We have more than 25,000 employees, and it makes sense for a network of our size. It's required for us to be compliant in the defense industry. Given the restrictions we face, we must be able to easily show that we've complied with all the regulations."

"While BlueCat falls on the expensive side, its exceptional customer service and consistent quality justify the cost."

"Overall, it's a decent price for the product. There are other vendors that have support models and costs that are, sometimes, double what Bluecat charges."

"I am not sure about the exact pricing, but I believe their cost is lower compared to Infoblox."

"BlueCat Integrity is affordable."

"We paid around $5,000 per year for SolarWinds, and now we pay around $20,000 per year for BlueCat, but we have less downtime and fewer issues with DNS and DHCP."

"Adaptive DNS's price depends on your network ranges, the services you want, and the level of support you require."

More BlueCat Integrity pricing and cost advice

"I rate Infoblox IPAM’s pricing a seven out of ten, since their price is up there."

"The cost depends on the scale at which we're deploying it. It's an annual subscription that ranges between $1,000 and $2,000."

"Infoblox IPAM is a very expensive solution and it should improve. The solution is subscription-based, and the payments can be monthly or yearly. There are additional costs for more features, and the exact cost depends on the features you're using."

"The price of the solution is reasonable compared to competitors, such as Akamai."

"We purchase yearly licenses, and I don't know the exact price as I'm not involved in the finance or sales departments. Infoblox is one of the more expensive products in the DDI environment, so I would say that for organizations looking to combine DNS, DSTP, and IP management with security features, the solution is worth it. However, for organizations only looking for an IP management tool, for example, many more affordable options are available."

"They were expensive. They were known to be expensive. In general, they used to at least try to encourage you to upgrade to hardware every three years. Infoblox had a reputation as being one of the better solutions but also one of the more expensive solutions, whereas VitalQ was definitely a much more affordable solution. With Infoblox, anytime you replace hardware, there would also be the cost of the hardware upgrade. So, besides the software licensing fee, there were also hardware maintenance and hardware upgrade fees. I would rate it a 3 out of 10 in terms of pricing."

"The licensing cost for Infoblox IPAM depends on your usage and also depends on your term plans, for example, you may want it for three months, six months, or only for seven days. I don't remember the exact licensing cost, but it depends on your organization's structure and how many networks you are going to need."

"Infoblox IPAM is a licensed product, and my company pays for it yearly. It depends on the licensing model you choose because right now, the solution can also be subscription-based, specifically the cloud version, but the traditional licensing model for it is one that's paid yearly. The cost would depend on the organization. I know how much my company pays for Infoblox IPAM, but I won't disclose that information. If your company has $10,000,000 or $20,000,000, for example, and you need stability, then I'd say the solution is worth it. If your company is a startup, then the solution may not be worth it, but it would still depend on the ability of your company because Infoblox IPAM is one of the costlier solutions in the market."
