Raj Metkar - PeerSpot reviewer
Acts as a first line of defense, allows for full utilization of IP addresses in a network and the ability to block unwanted traffic using DNS is powerful
At this stage, we are struggling to use some of the DNS features of the platform, which are more about protecting your domain from hijacking and similar threats. However, I don't think it is a problem with the platform itself. It seems to be more of an integration issue with the secondary DNS provider we are trying to use on the Internet, called Cloudflare. So, it is more of an integration problem between Cloudflare DNS and any public DNS. I would like to improve the integration aspect of these two products. The platform should be able to work seamlessly with any other secondary DNS provider on the Internet. If Infoblox can make their licensing cheaper, then this platform could be widely used because it does cost a fortune to have it. That's why we do not have it in every entity that we manage.
