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…
Scott Schimmel - PeerSpot reviewer
Is user-friendly, automatically provides requested IP addresses to devices, and is reliable
Initially, we paid for professional implementation assistance when deploying Micetro, but we soon discovered it to be user-friendly. We were able to implement it ourselves without needing professional services. The interface is intuitive for those with some understanding of the system, and overall, Micetro has been a great product for us. If you were a Windows DNS administrator, and you were to switch to Micetro, there would be almost no learning curve. Integrating Micetro was simple. We had it running in one day. Before Micetro, requesting an IP address for a new device involved a manual process with multiple emails and required IT intervention. Now, it's entirely automated, freeing up our team's time and significantly speeding up the build process. Micetro has greatly simplified IP address management for us. We only use the two modules we subscribe to but all the server management is under one GUI. Micetro has improved our DDI operations by unifying server management. Our previous system suffered from unreliable automated scans and outdated DNS entries. Since switching, we haven't encountered a single issue, and Micetro's streamlined approach has significantly sped up deployments of hardware, software, and anything requiring an IP address. Switching to Micetro from our old, cumbersome system brought immediate benefits. Previously, a simple task like checking and reserving an IP address required navigating multiple screens and manual verification. Micetro streamlines everything into a single interface with intuitive right-click actions for availability checks, reservations, and DHCP assignments. Micetro's non-disruptive installation is a major benefit. Disruptive installs require after-hours work during maintenance windows, which strains our technicians by taking time away from their personal lives and forcing them to work outside of regular business hours. Ideally, all installations should be non-disruptive like Micetro. Micetro required minimal work on our endpoint devices; the change happened at the network level on our existing DNS server. After a simple authorization process, we were up and running, making it a very straightforward implementation.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"The best feature is the user interface."
"Infoblox is a proactive DNS system that enhances organizational security by blocking and triggering alerts for malicious or suspicious URLs."
"Infoblox is a proactive DNS system that enhances organizational security by blocking and triggering alerts for malicious or suspicious URLs."
"One of the benefits of implementing Infoblox DDI is that it supports both RADIUS and TACACS+."
"The UI is quite user-friendly and the support is available 24/7."
"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 DDI is a good tool if you want to centralize everything in your environment...It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature of Infoblox DDI is its IP Address Management (IPAM) tool. This tool allows for the effective management of IP addresses and provides the capability to detect duplicates, hence its moniker "discovery." Another feature that I find particularly useful is the integration of DNS, which can be seamlessly integrated with your existing primary DNS server, making the overall experience much more seamless and efficient."
"The manageability is a standout feature. I have one console for DHCP and DNS."
"The maturity of the OS helps with the stability."
"The most valuable feature is IP address management which automatically updates a central database by leveraging DNS."
 

Cons

"The solution is expensive."
"In terms of improvement, the commercial pricing could be reduced to attract more small customers. Currently, it is cost-effective mainly for larger enterprises."
"Every vendor or organization cannot purchase Infoblox DDI because of some license issues."
"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."
"Currently, it is cost-effective mainly for larger enterprises."
"They need to reconsider their pricing for their SMB customers. It is a hurdle for them to manage the price."
"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."
"In the web version, I cannot change the IP addresses in the reservation, whereas in the app version, I can. It is a feature I would like to see available in the web version."
"We initially purchased professional services from Micetro, but they didn't reach out to us until after we had already set up and been using the application for several weeks."
"One area for improvement in RHEL is compatibility with some third-party tools, like those offered by Intel."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license of the solution is expensive, not including the hardware."
"Infoblox DDI is an expensive product."
"Infoblox's subscription includes support."
"I would say the pricing falls between average and expensive. It's not a cheap product."
"Micetro's renewal price was in line with expectations, increasing slightly from last year but not significantly more than the typical year-over-year price increases we see across the market."
"As a school, we received a special price. It is more expensive after being taken over by BlueCat but not prohibitively so. The product simplifies life, and the license is not very pricey."
"While purchasing a small number of Red Hat Enterprise Linux licenses can be expensive, acquiring licenses for our entire ecosystem or environment often leads to better pricing."
