Technical Lead - Cloud at a comms service provider with 1,001-5,000 employees
Security and monitoring features enhance website protection and DNS management effortlessly
For Amazon Route 53, improvements I see include the need for a DNS firewall and a domain-based SSL checker security feature. DNS security is the most important part for me. I feel that whenever you host any kind of website, the first and most important thing is to protect it with a valid SSL. The secure socket layer is essential for the HTTPS green lock in the browser. If I forget to deploy SSL on a website and if my domain hosting is under Amazon Route 53, there should be a mechanism that Amazon Route 53 protects the insecure website using SSL, a thing that the end user does not know whether the SSL certificate comes from the domain, meaning from Amazon Route 53 or from the website.
Mike Yalden - PeerSpot reviewer
Enterprise Security Architect at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
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

"Technical support from Amazon is very good...Overall, the product is stable."
"Host zones and integrated features such as Health Checks and DNS routing are valuable features of Route 53."
"The solution offers you the flexibility to control configuration rules."
"One of the best advantages is managed security."
"Amazon's customer support is very good with a quick response time."
"We haven't faced any outages or issues directly related to Route 53. It has been 100% stable for me."
"The product integrates with other services from AWS, like Amazon S3 bucket and load balancers. The product can also be used with AWS EC2 Instances, AWS Global Accelerator, Amazon SNS, and AWS Lambda."
"The most valuable feature is that it works very well."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"The solution’s pricing and technical support could be improved."
"Streamlining and optimizing processes related to Procter, VPN workflows, and other subjects based on specific needs would allow for continual improvement and adaptation to the evolving requirements of the system."
"There isn't room for recommending new configurations."
"There could be improvements in the configuration process, particularly in the options provided during setup, such as subdomain configurations and certificate management."
"For Amazon Route 53, improvements I see include the need for a DNS firewall and a domain-based SSL checker security feature."
"With Amazon Route 53, finding what you want is so much more difficult, making it an area where improvements are required."
"There is room for improvement in restricting access through one website from S3 buckets, as it still seems not very obvious."
"Since DNS is based on internet access, improving some security features would improve internet quality worldwide."
"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."
"Infoblox BloxOne DDI is good to use, but there could be improvements in its visualization and dashboarding UI."
"Infoblox is fairly expensive for my customers. I am unsure if this is a general comment or specific to my situation."
"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."
"There is a need for a comprehensive database on DNS."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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