BlueCat Integrity Reviews

We replaced our legacy solution used to manage our network with BlueCat Integrity, a vendor-backed solution.

BlueCat Integrity is easy to use for end users and not difficult for administrators. I have used much more difficult solutions that are not directly related to DDI. For end users, the solution is intuitive on a daily basis.

It provides a single pane of glass view for our IP address space, which is important for our organization.

BlueCat Integrity is flexible and user-friendly for our end users.

BlueCat Integrity has helped improve our organization by simplifying the end user's experience and improving our integration with third parties. 

Managing our DDI infrastructure globally is simple, and BlueCat's personalized relationship with us is valuable to our organization.

The interface is good, better than what we were used to.

The integration has room for improvement.

Everything related to automation can be improved.

The deployment process needs to be simplified.

I have been using BlueCat Integrity for ten years.

Yes. In-house built solution, lacking lots of features, complex to support and almost impossible to evolve or enhance with new functionalities (e.g.: IPv6 support)

The deployment took around three years because we were migrating from our pre-existing in-house tool.

The solution was deployed through an in-house team with support from BlueCat's professional services, who played a critical role in the success of our migration.

I would rate BlueCat Integrity eight out of ten.

We use BlueCat Integrity to deliver DNS service to our customers.

We use the solution throughout our entire network environment.

BlueCat Integrity has an intuitive interface, making it easy to use.

It offers a unified view of our IP address space through a single-pane-of-glass interface. The unified view is essential because we can implement all the solutions while having visibility in this dashboard.

BlueCat Integrity is highly flexible. It can be used in a wide range of situations and offers numerous options for integration.

BlueCat Integrity has helped us accelerate the product implementation process and reduce the time spent on DNS.

We have saved around five hours a week per technician for troubleshooting because it is all done automatically now. This frees up their time to focus on other security products.

Since implementing BlueCat Integrity we have not had any downtime in the network.

The most valuable feature is the IPAMs, which provide visibility into all the IP addresses on the network.

The technical support is slow and has room for improvement.

I have been using BlueCat Integrity for two years.

BlueCat Integrity is highly stable.

BlueCat Integrity's technical support is unsatisfactory because they are slow to respond, and we consistently find ourselves having to reiterate our issues to them. That is why we opt for partner support instead.

Negative

We previously used Azure DNS and switched to BlueCat Integrity because it offered better visibility into the IPs.

Compared to Microsoft, BlueCat Integrity is an enterprise DNS solution that provides us with peace of mind and enables us to concentrate on other tasks without experiencing any failures.

The implementation took slightly longer compared to the implementations we have completed for other products.

We used an implementation partner service.

We have witnessed a return on investment within two years of implementing BlueCat Integrity.

Compared to other solutions, BlueCat Integrity offers a competitive price.

I give BlueCat Integrity a ten out of ten.

I mainly use Adaptive DNS for IP address management.

Adaptive DNS's best feature is DDoS protection, which stops malware and network security attacks.

Adaptive DNS only supports AWS for network automation and cloud computing and would be improved if it also supported other options like Azure or Google Cloud. In the next release, Adaptive DNS should add an option for users to migrate their IPv4 versions to v6 via cloud apps.

I've been using BlueCat Adaptive DNS for five years.

Adaptive DNS is very stable.

Adaptive DNS is scalable.

BlueCat's technical support is very good.

Positive

We also use Infoblox, but Adaptive DNS is more stable and secure.

The initial setup was very easy and could be handled even by an undergraduate engineer. The deployment time is fast, but it depends on the number of networks being used - a single network takes hardly ten minutes, but a hundred would take an hour to ninety minutes.

Adaptive DNS's price depends on your network ranges, the services you want, and the level of support you require.

I would advise other users to go for Adaptive DNS without hesitation, and I'd rate it nine out of ten.

Our company includes sixteen OS staff who use the solution for segment server management and ILO code. 

Of the twenty-four segments available, we currently use four. 

The solution includes automatic management of segments. 

The solution does not export reports in a comprehensive format that allows us to see usage, administrators, VLAN, and backups. 

A reporting format similar to Infoblox would be beneficial because theirs include VLAN and function information, LAN or WAN determinations, number of segments, usage, and backups. 

I have been using the solution for one year. 

The solution is stable. 

The solution is scalable.

I would prefer the last sixteen management segments be handled through Infoblox because it is better at scaling. 

Technical support is knowledgeable but responses are often delayed. 

Neutral

The initial setup is straightforward. 

Ongoing administration includes reinitiating a license that includes technical support. 

Infoblox provides better scaling and includes reports with functional information that is comprehensive. 

I rate the solution a seven out of ten.
