Prominent pros & cons

PROS

BlueCat Integrity provides a single-pane-of-glass view of the IP address space through integration of all infrastructure with BlueCat Integrity's Address Manager.
Adaptive DNS's best feature is DDoS protection, which stops malware and network security attacks.
BlueCat DNS resolver is a lifesaver, automating the day-to-day churn of DNS components.
BlueCat Integrity ensures compliance by combining logging, configuration, and administrative access components securely.
BlueCat Integrity delivers robust automation enabling operations at current scale.

CONS

BlueCat Integrity only supports AWS for network automation and would benefit from additional cloud support like Azure or Google Cloud.
The reporting feature in BlueCat Integrity lacks comprehensiveness, especially regarding usage, administrators, VLAN, and backups.
BlueCat Integrity has challenges with updating and maintaining configurations, with room for improvement in update frequency and ease of application.
There are difficulties with configuration and integration, as BlueCat Integrity is often too granular and complex, which may not be necessary for all users.
High availability failover is not robust for servers on different subnets, especially in separate data centers with distinct IP networks.

BlueCat saved us money in terms of a life-and-death scenario and the stress factors that surround that in a healthcare environment. We generally don't have downtime in our DATP environments anymore. The clinics and the hospitals can continue to operate and not be in that position to be down.

BlueCat Integrity does not offer all the features out of the box, and the customization with BlueCat is very limited.

I wouldn't say it reduced errors, as we had a colleague who unfortunately didn't know BlueCat well and made a couple of mistakes that actually brought the site down for Loyalty One.

We encountered a couple of situations where our BlueCat Integrity Address Manager was in a hung state, requiring us to rebuild it after performing an upgrade.

When evaluating BlueCat Integrity, challenges with dynamic DNS updates were encountered, but configuration issues can be fixed to mitigate those.

One thing that I miss in BlueCat Integrity is that for a DDI record that is added and deleted, in InfoBlox, you do not usually need to deploy; it just gets added and everything processes automatically.

The solution is too granular and sometimes complex to configure. We do not always need so many details. Simpler configurations with fewer details would be beneficial.

Some areas need improvement, especially the issue with stale entries in the BlueCat tenancy. I have heard that it is already fixed in BlueCat Integrity 10. I have not used that yet.

XHA has some very unusual requirements. If you're running just two BlueCat appliances for a given area of responsibility, then in VMware, if they land on the same VM host, you can run into challenges with XHA, which we are learning.
