"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"Amazon Route 53 is a DNS resolution service that helps you to map your hostname to another hostname."

"The solution has a user-friendly dashboard."
"The solution effectively monitors the health of resources and provides good identity access management."
"The scalability is the most valuable feature."

"The solution should have a more user-friendly user interface."
"There are no detailed logs, and they should implement that in the solution."
"When we are looking at the model registry, it may be not clear sometimes. For example, if you use a single grid model and group or registry, it has a different SDK in the pilot. And it may be not so comfortable to use both of them because it is two different places for keeping things in order."
"The solution’s pricing could be reduced."
"It is difficult to manage the product if the person involved in the setup process doesn't know much about the solution."

"The recategorization part takes longer with Infoblox DDI compared to other companies like Symantec, Zscaler, and Palo Alto."
"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."
"They need to provide more training and tutorials than what's provided on the website."
