Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Infoblox, Palo Alto Networks and others in Domain Name System (DNS) Security."The most valuable feature is blocklisting. It's good at what I like to describe as the "silly side cases." We have this annoying security architecture that says we must do this, that, and the other, so we try to make it easier on ourselves."
"Infoblox BloxOne Threat Defense furthers the existing security posture rather than replacing or trying to replace any existing products."
"The automatic blocklists are most valuable. A box can maintain several lists from which we can choose if we need to block more or less. We don't have to manually manage the lists ourselves. They're automatically updated."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the granularity for which you can categorize what you want to block versus what you don't want to block."
"Using the reporting, we can tell that we have gained an extra layer of protection. Just by looking at it, we can see what is being blocked before it even makes it to the firewall. It is definitely working."
"The most important features for us are preventing DDOS DNS attacks."
"The reporting ability is helpful. It allows us to control what our users are able to resolve, and then be able to see reports on that."
"The product is stable."
"Threat protection solution with good stability and scalability. Installation is straightforward. Support for this product is good."
"The solution's scalability is good and we have more than 90 users for it."
"Trend Micro has a centralized mechanism where we can control and monitor all system protections. It includes detecting any wireless problems, which will be displayed on our portal. We plan to investigate the issues with those systems internally."
"It's a very stable solution."
"The security of Trend Micro Web Security is good."
"It's a stable solution."
"We find the advanced license for the DLP to be particularly useful with this product."
"I feel that it is a user-friendly product that provides quick response to users."
"The documentation needs to be improved because there are a lot of different models that it can be deployed in, and it's somewhat confusing determining what you need and how to set it up to best cover your use cases."
"The setup was horrible. About a year ago, Infoblox made us re-enroll all our on-prem DNS servers by a set date to a specific version, or it would stop working. I told my colleague, "Oh, here, we have to upgrade the servers and reconnect them to the CSP." That did not go well at all."
"This is not just Infoblox, this could be any portal provider, cloud provider, sometimes they change the look of the customer-facing options and it's not completely clear why they make the change."
"Within the past two years, we discovered certain bugs in their products. The resolution of these bugs took a little too much time, especially if our production environment is down for a certain amount of time, then we are losing money. That is hard to convey to Infoblox support, e.g., we actually need the system up and running again within two or three hours. The awareness of these so-called production down incidents is not really easy to convey."
"The product could be cheaper."
"They could work on the UI of their website and make their website more user-friendly."
"We would like to see more reporting capabilities that are now offered only with the on-premises reporting appliance."
"The research side and the reporting side need improvement. Both of those are items on the menu. They could use a little bit of cleanup to make their respective information more easily understood."
"The solution's scalability could be better."
"The product's scalability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The product should be more secure and stable. It is also not flexible."
"Setup isn't very straightforward. You must have a certified technical engineer."
"The price of Trend Micro Web Security is the only area of concern where improvements are required. From an improvement perspective, the product should be made available to users at a cheaper rate."
"I would like to see better scalability and better performance."
"The system should generate reports when an attack has been stopped, contained, or removed."
"The costs are a bit high in terms of licensing."
