Featured Reviews

Wojciech Wrzesień - PeerSpot reviewer
Complements AR, NDR, and vulnerability scanners to ensure compliance
One challenging aspect of Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection pricing for the integrator is the difficulty of estimating the cost after the initial presentation, particularly in relation to the company's size. Determining the exact amount needed to purchase the solution can be complex. Additionally, understanding the typical setup and deployment costs is important.

Has an easy-to-manage administrator console and provides a straightforward setup process
Trend Micro effectively supports our remote workforce by securing our web servers from external threats, particularly browser security. It provides basic security features and includes behavioral monitoring to detect anomalies and potential ransomware attacks. Since switching to Trend Micro, we have benefited from features such as ransomware protection, behavioral monitoring, and backup capabilities, which were significant factors in our decision to migrate. The administrator console is easy to manage and user-friendly. I rate it an eight out of ten. I highly recommend Trend Micro products. They offer a robust solution, and if budget is not an issue, there are more options available in the market to consider as well.

Cons

"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."
"Infoblox lacks an extensive product portfolio."
"Infoblox DNS is much more expensive than DNSSEC, which is offered by other vendors. Customers should consider the cost of DNSSEC since it is a significant factor."
"The overall pricing of Infoblox is high, particularly for the Bangladesh market, and the licensing model is challenging."
"There should be better alerts for when attacks are happening."
"The price could be reduced to improve the solution."
"I think only the technical documentation and administration of box could be a little bit improved."
"They should release frequent updates for its on-premises version."
"The product should be more secure and stable. It is also not flexible."
"his legacy version currently lacks WFA, which is a useful tool for managing bandwidth and applying data control limits to specific users. It's especially beneficial for organizations using Android and Azure."
"The solution's scalability could be better."
"The installation is a little bit complex."
"The system should generate reports when an attack has been stopped, contained, or removed."
"Setup isn't very straightforward. You must have a certified technical engineer."
"The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"What could help Trend Micro Web Security in terms of improvement is the addition of a DDoS protection feature. It also needs to be more comprehensive to meet the needs of large-sized companies."
