Managed security and horizontal scaling enhance application performance

We are using Route 53 for application security. We are also using it for computing, EC2, and setting up our server plus a complete infrastructure Route 53 helps us manage security without manually handling it. We can maintain availability and horizontal scaling effectively. One of the best…

Raj Metkar

Director, Head of Networks at MUFG, EMEA

Acts as a first line of defense, allows for full utilization of IP addresses in a network and the ability to block unwanted traffic using DNS is powerful

At this stage, we are struggling to use some of the DNS features of the platform, which are more about protecting your domain from hijacking and similar threats. However, I don't think it is a problem with the platform itself. It seems to be more of an integration issue with the secondary DNS provider we are trying to use on the Internet, called Cloudflare. So, it is more of an integration problem between Cloudflare DNS and any public DNS. I would like to improve the integration aspect of these two products. The platform should be able to work seamlessly with any other secondary DNS provider on the Internet. If Infoblox can make their licensing cheaper, then this platform could be widely used because it does cost a fortune to have it. That's why we do not have it in every entity that we manage.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Route 53 is valued for its health check feature and reliability."

"Amazon's customer support is very good with a quick response time."

"The scalability is the most valuable feature."

"Technical support from Amazon is very good...Overall, the product is stable."

"Amazon Route 53 offers decent detection and low false positive rates."

"Amazon Route 53 is easy to manage and install."

"I find Amazon Route 53 valuable for its ability to manage DNS records and efficiently route traffic with features like failover routing and geolocation routing."

"It stands out for its user-friendly interface, seamless integration with other AWS services, and ability to efficiently manage DNS, making it a valuable tool for various deployment scenarios, including those involving Kubernetes on AWS."

More Amazon Route 53 pros

"The overall product rating is ten out of ten."

"The most valuable features of Infoblox BloxOne DDI are its ability to manage all DDI services effectively and monitor them in real-time."

"A valuable feature is blocking domain generation, which automatically generates domains to protect the internal network."

"It actually prevents a lot of false alarms because if a link is blocked by antivirus, it creates an alert for the IT risk team to investigate. By not resolving the IP for a malicious link, it stops many issues before they escalate. This has improved our security posture significantly."

Cons

"The solution should have a more user-friendly user interface."

"The solution should include more robust and secure services for hardening sites."

"The product could improve its price."

"The product’s security and disaster recovery features need enhancement."

"When you add a new DNS record instructing the solution to map one thing to another, it has to propagate to all the networks, which takes some time."

"When we are looking at the model registry, it may be not clear sometimes. For example, if you use a single grid model and group or registry, it has a different SDK in the pilot. And it may be not so comfortable to use both of them because it is two different places for keeping things in order."

"Route 53 would be better if it had the ability to handle multiple requests at the same time because we have a lot of users. I would like that to be optimized in the next version."

"With Amazon Route 53, finding what you want is so much more difficult, making it an area where improvements are required."

More Amazon Route 53 cons

"At this stage, we are struggling to use some of the DNS features of the platform, which are more about protecting your domain from hijacking and similar threats."

"Infoblox is fairly expensive for my customers. I am unsure if this is a general comment or specific to my situation."

"There is a need for a comprehensive database on DNS."

"Infoblox BloxOne DDI is good to use, but there could be improvements in its visualization and dashboarding UI."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the product is perfectly fine in my opinion."

"The price of the solution could be a little bit lower compared to Google DNS, which has more features than Amazon."

"We pay per use."

"Amazon Route 53 is not that expensive."

"It can be expensive compared to some other providers."

"Amazon Route 53 is an expensive solution."

"Amazon Route 53 is not an expensive solution."

"The tool is a bit expensive."
