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.

Proactively secures DNS by blocking malicious URLs and triggers necessary alerts
I work with Infoblox DDI for DNS management, which involves blocking malicious and suspicious URLs. This helps in protecting my organization's domain name system and involves deep investigation and policy enforcement to understand why certain URLs are being used Infoblox is a proactive DNS system…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"A valuable feature is blocking domain generation, which automatically generates domains to protect the internal network."
"It actually prevents a lot of false alarms because if a link is blocked by antivirus, it creates an alert for the IT risk team to investigate. By not resolving the IP for a malicious link, it stops many issues before they escalate. This has improved our security posture significantly."
"The overall product rating is ten out of ten."
"Infoblox has more technology patents than any of its competitors."
"The best feature is the user interface."
"One of the benefits of implementing Infoblox DDI is that it supports both RADIUS and TACACS+."
"The DDI solution is valuable for its ability to integrate DHCP, DNS security, and IP address management, along with threat intelligence into one platform."
"Infoblox is a proactive DNS system that enhances organizational security by blocking and triggering alerts for malicious or suspicious URLs."
"The customer service and support are fantastic."
"Infoblox is a proactive DNS system that enhances organizational security by blocking and triggering alerts for malicious or suspicious URLs."
"The UI is quite user-friendly and the support is available 24/7."
 

Cons

"Infoblox is fairly expensive for my customers. I am unsure if this is a general comment or specific to my situation."
"There is a need for a comprehensive database on DNS."
"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."
"The recategorization part takes longer with Infoblox DDI compared to other companies like Symantec, Zscaler, and Palo Alto."
"They need to provide more training and tutorials than what's provided on the website."
"Currently, it is cost-effective mainly for larger enterprises."
"The pricing is quite expensive, which is why I recommend it for medium and large enterprises and not for small businesses."
"Every vendor or organization cannot purchase Infoblox DDI because of some license issues."
"It would be helpful if we can log in and click on the server, and have the CLI pop up directly instead of using third-party software, like PuTTY, to log in."
"The solution is expensive."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the pricing a ten out of ten, with ten being very expensive."
"I would say the pricing falls between average and expensive. It's not a cheap product."
"The license of the solution is expensive, not including the hardware."
"Infoblox's subscription includes support."
