Replaces internal DNS servers effectively with strong support for network security
For users not already working with Infoblox, it is advisable to present it as a centralized integrated solution to handle DNS IPAM. Not all customers understand DNS security threats, so emphasizing its importance is crucial. On a scale of one to ten, I rate Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection as ten for the overall solution.

Very secure with an easy initial setup and pretty stable
We are using the latest version of the solution. We sell this solution for financial systems. We're Oracle partners and service providers. We'll present this solution to our clients and give them a benefit analysis of the product so they can see the reasons why they need the solution or why it might help them. I'd rate this solution nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most effective feature we find is the ability to log traffic."
"Infoblox is a DDI solution that offers more than just DNS security, providing unique protection for IT management and DSCP."
"The main advantages with Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection are the dashboards, the reporting system, and they have the GUI interface."
"The most valuable features of Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection are the services, DHCP, and debugging. Additionally, we can use APIs and ansible scripts."
"Infoblox's render scalability and technical support for the DNAT firewalling adaptation are seen as top benefits."
"I rate Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection as ten for the overall solution."
"It is a stable solution."
"I like that Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection is one hundred percent good, performance-wise."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
 

Cons

"There is a steep learning curve to be able to use Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection well."
"There needs to be more capabilities in order to configure the console itself instead of the user interface dashboard. Configuring the DNS or DHCP through the console instead of the GUI dashboard would be better."
"They are not supporting high query logging. They have a very limited size for the syslog, so they are usually asking for external storage, external network, and integration in order to keep the syslog. If you are considering the high volume traffic of the carrier-grade, then the syslog will hold for around five to 10 minutes. This is not enough time and it is being rotated. This is the main issue and the main limitation that we face with them that they need to work on."
"The service monitoring information could be simplified of this appliance and the information displayed on the dashboards could be improved. I have not found one dashboard to be perfect. For example, in Splunk, I can create a dashboard in Grafana. However, in Grafana, it takes a very long time to create them. There should be another API to do it better."
"The price could be reduced to improve the solution."
"There should be better alerts for when attacks are happening."
"The solution's logging could be improved."
"I think only the technical documentation and administration of box could be a little bit improved."
"The solution should have a Data Mask for the next release. It would be helpful for banking institutions as they would be able to hide the server number of the ATM machine in the CPU."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
"Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection is a little more expensive than other vendors."
"There are no additional costs to the standard licensing price of the solution."
"I am not sure about the price of the solution, but I heard it is expensive."
"The price of Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection could be reduced, it is expensive."
