Mahadev Metre - PeerSpot reviewer
Dev Ops Engineer at Paydoh
Centralized DNS management has improved secure routing, monitoring, and compliance for our domains
The most valuable features of Amazon Route 53 that I have found include hosted zones, which allow us to configure domains for different hosted zones, a crucial aspect for sectors such as banking and finance that require DC and DR for data disaster recovery, as well as the ability to add alias records, such as A and CNAME records. This enables us to manage subdomains easily, such as us-sub.com under the main domain us.com, which is generated and trusted by ACM. Additionally, Amazon Route 53 includes a useful DNS firewall feature. The integration of Amazon Route 53 with AWS services optimizes our infrastructure management, as today's architecture is migrated to serverless. Keeping everything within AWS, including the DNS resolver in a single VPC and protected, significantly improves security and compliance, and everything is logged into CloudTrail and monitored via CloudWatch.

Have built secure, automated DNS pipelines and simplified cloud DNS management through integration
I would like to see a bunch of templated or policy-driven provisioning for DNSSEC in the next release of Infoblox BloxOne DDI. Additionally, I would like to see DNS hosting so you do not have to deploy the NIOS appliances yourself or manage another cloud DNS service. This would allow you to pare back your DNS registration and hosting to just registrar services. That way, you would have a fully integrated, vertically integrated API stack for being able to affect all of your automated changes against your actual public authorities as well rather than just your internal resolvers and authorities. I think that would be something quite cool for them to have.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is stable."
"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."
"The solution is cost-effective."
"The tool's most valuable feature is in the area of domain registration and routing DNS."
"Amazon Route 53 is easy to manage and install."
"Amazon Route 53 is valuable because it offers aliasing, allowing me to route different services with A records against the DNS."
"The initial setup is good and straightforward."
"Amazon Route 53 is easy to manage and seamlessly integrates with other AWS services."
"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."
"Infoblox BloxOne DDI has positively impacted our organization by providing a drastic change in our DNS capability and management on a global level; it provides a single pane of glass for visibility and management, it's a SaaS-based solution, allowing anyone to access it over the internet without a VPN, and it's highly user-friendly with a customizable user interface."
"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."
"In my experience, I am satisfied with the functionality; there is no lack of functions, and it is a very powerful solution because they work with this technology, so they are probably number one."
"When we compare, if we spend 200,000 to 250,000 every year or every second year on security compliance, that is money we could transfer into the licensing for a SaaS service such as Infoblox BloxOne DDI, then we get all of the continuous patching, threat analysis, and that type of capability coming through without having to maintain such skilled staff."
"A valuable feature is blocking domain generation, which automatically generates domains to protect the internal network."
 

Cons

"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."
"The product’s security and disaster recovery features need enhancement."
"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."
"The product could improve its price."
"The solution’s pricing and technical support could be improved."
"The multiple routing policies present in the product have certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"There could be improvements in the configuration process, particularly in the options provided during setup, such as subdomain configurations and certificate management."
"Since DNS is based on internet access, improving some security features would improve internet quality worldwide."
"Infoblox is fairly expensive for my customers. I am unsure if this is a general comment or specific to my situation."
"I would add that Infoblox support can be more impactful in high emergency cases, as there are times they take considerable time to find the problem, which impacts the infrastructure, so they can improve their support structuring."
"There is a need for a comprehensive database on DNS."
"Infoblox BloxOne DDI would not be for smaller companies. I think if you are under 1,200 staff, you probably want to look for a professional service or something that is integrated into the platforms you have already got."
"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."
"There are probably some strict agreements, and the answers are probably not so rapid. The responsiveness could at least be improved, but I have not had many cases, just a few."
"Infoblox BloxOne DDI is good to use, but there could be improvements in its visualization and dashboarding UI."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Amazon Route 53 is an expensive solution."
"The tool is a bit expensive."
"Amazon Route 53 is not that expensive."
"Amazon Route 53 is not an expensive solution."
"The pricing depends on usage and is moderate."
"The price of the solution could be a little bit lower compared to Google DNS, which has more features than Amazon."
"The price of Amazon Route 53 is reasonable."
"It can be expensive compared to some other providers."
"I would rate the pricing a ten out of ten, with ten being very expensive."
