Featured Reviews

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.

Works as an IP asset management platform but improvement is needed in report automation
I recommend the tool to others. I would suggest ensuring that whoever is working on the deployment is fully dedicated during that time. It's important not to be distracted. In my experience, when someone's focus is split, we encounter a few issues. I rate the overall product a seven 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 overall product rating is ten out of ten."
"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."
"A valuable feature is blocking domain generation, which automatically generates domains to protect the internal network."
"I find NetBox. dev's interaction and user-friendly GUI most valuable. It makes editing and removing items easy for users. Moving away from spreadsheets has been a benefit for our clients. It saves them a lot of time and makes everything accessible."
 

Cons

"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."
"There is a need for a comprehensive database on DNS."
"Infoblox is fairly expensive for my customers. I am unsure if this is a general comment or specific to my situation."
"The tool should improve report automation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the pricing a ten out of ten, with ten being very expensive."
