"The solution helps to identify and mitigate DNS attacks."
"The most valuable feature of Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection is its performance and visibility."
"The most valuable features of Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection are the services, DHCP, and debugging. Additionally, we can use APIs and ansible scripts."
"DHCP is a basic service, and they've been doing it for years, so it's mature and stable."
"Grid high availability technology ensured network reliability, resilient network services, failover, recovery, and seamless maintenance."
"The customization could be improved. Cisco, for example, is much better at this. They need to work to be at least as good as they are."
"I'm not sure if it's something that they already have or are developing something, however, we need some dedicated features for container security."

"Its reporting can be improved. Sometimes, I don't get proper reports."
"There is room for improvement related to the logging and reporting aspect."
"The sniffing packets or packet captures, can be simplified and improved because it's a little confusing."
"Fortinet should focus on enhancing the capabilities of FortiGate by consolidating its various products, such as FortiGate Cloud, FortiManager, and FortiAnalyzer."
"The support from Fortinet FortiGate could improve. They are not easily accessible when we need them. They could improve their response time."
"The solution is expensive."
"I think only the technical documentation and administration of box could be a little bit improved."
"There should be better alerts for when attacks are happening."
"They are not supporting high query logging. They have a very limited size for the syslog, so they are usually asking for external storage, external network, and integration in order to keep the syslog. If you are considering the high volume traffic of the carrier-grade, then the syslog will hold for around five to 10 minutes. This is not enough time and it is being rotated. This is the main issue and the main limitation that we face with them that they need to work on."
"There needs to be more capabilities in order to configure the console itself instead of the user interface dashboard. Configuring the DNS or DHCP through the console instead of the GUI dashboard would be better."
"The solution's logging could be improved."
"Infoblox lacks an extensive product portfolio."
"Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection could be more user-friendly because you need knowledge if you want to use it. To handle the solution, you need to be a subject matter expert, so this is one area for improvement."
