We use it for getting an IPAM solution in AWS, which is our first use case. The second use case is we also use it for our on-premise networks to manage the IP ranges. We have distributed all the IP networks, and for DHCP and DNS, we use this software internally for our enterprise network.
We started seeing the benefits of Micetro immediately because as we started using it, we didn't have to go back to the Excel sheets that we were earlier following and then updating as we moved along. If somebody's using it, we could see for DHCP if the IP allocation is getting full or not, and it would give us an alert. If the users are completely using it, then we know that we need to allocate some more IP range to any site, and that really helped us.
The integration that we did is easy to build up for the on-premise network, and everything regarding DHCP was a good experience for the on-premise team that I'm working with in building up the DHCP and the DNS for the on-premise network.
The initial deployment was fairly easy because we started with the DHCP product for the enterprise network, and the experience with that was very good.
They can improve their support for the CDNV application, which is Cloud Discovery and Visibility. I had to chase BlueCat support a lot for this application, and the support was not good. The CDNV application administration documents were not updated, and they are doing it via a containerized architecture, but that didn't work. We faced a lot of issues during the implementation of CDNV for duplicate files and everything during the initial process.
The CDNV application documentation was not good, and also the support should have been better. We faced a lot of issues in getting support and finding the right person who can help us with issues, so that was always a challenge in the past year from the BlueCat team.
With scalability, if I'm planning to scale it to other instances, there are multiple versions of BlueCat running, and if I want to scale it in other regions as well, I need a license, and then all the stuff that comes with it. There were issues when I was working with the team on it concerning the license, the gateway, and how it is going to look.
We've been using the BlueCat DNS, DHCP, and also their Cloud Discovery and Visibility (CDNV) software for two years now.
We have not experienced any instability with Micetro.
With scalability, there is an issue.

Neutral
We faced issues, but we did not use any alternatives to Micetro, and we are planning for alternatives right now, looking for possible solutions.
The initial deployment was fairly easy because we started with the DHCP product for the enterprise network, and the experience with that was very good.
It took close to three weeks. It was less than a month, approximately two sprints, but it was fairly easy.
There were three people working on this for the deployment process.
We started seeing the benefits of Micetro immediately because as we started using it, we didn't have to go back to the Excel sheets that we were earlier following and then updating as we moved along.
I don't have much idea on the pricing because that's completely with the vendor and the VPs, and the stakeholders who are buying this product.
We faced issues, but we did not use any alternatives to Micetro, and we are planning for alternatives right now, looking for possible solutions.
If I were to put the support on a scale from one to ten, I would give a score of four.
We are users without any partnerships with BlueCat.
Somebody needs to see how the application is running on it, and it also needs to be updated. The versions of BlueCat need to be updated, and while we faced some challenges there, it went with support.
Overall, I rate Micetro a seven out of ten.
I am currently working with ServiceNow, and I use Infoblox BloxOne DDI for managing DHCP and DNS services. I can add, modify, or delete DNS services or DDI devices and manage all the devices within Infoblox BloxOne DDI. It primarily helps me manage the devices giving IPs to others on the network.
The most valuable features of Infoblox BloxOne DDI are its ability to manage all DDI services effectively and monitor them in real-time. If any DDI service goes down, it is easily detectable on the platform. I can also raise tickets with our L3 team for troubleshooting, which streamlines operations. Additionally, the ease of creating fixed IPs and containers for subnet management across different devices enhances its functionality.
Infoblox BloxOne DDI is good to use, but there could be improvements in its visualization and dashboarding UI. While the current functionalities and dashboard are good, better reporting and more flexibility in adding devices would enhance the solution. Additionally, access control could be expanded to give read-only permissions to more users and incorporate AI features for better automation.
I have been working with Infoblox BloxOne DDI for the past one year, primarily in a monitoring capacity.
I have not faced any issues with the performance or stability of Infoblox BloxOne DDI. They regularly update it, and maintenance occurs every two to three months, ensuring smooth operation.
Infoblox BloxOne DDI is very scalable and reliable. I can depend on it a lot, especially when facing network expansions. It accommodates a wide range of devices, showing its scalability.
I do not have any direct contact with tech support. I rely on an L3 person for version upgrades and other technical help.
Positive
I was not involved in the initial part of setting up Infoblox BloxOne DDI in our environment.
I would recommend Infoblox BloxOne DDI to others because it is a centralized platform for managing DDI devices. It is not difficult for others to use, and with a basic overview, they can understand its operation better. I rate Infoblox BloxOne DDI a nine out of ten as a basic user. If user interface enhancements and AI features are implemented, it could improve my rating to a ten. The overall product rating is 9.
