Overall experience improves efficiency and lowers operational challenges

* Add native management routing (geo‑routing, failover, weighted records) directly within Azure DNS zones to reduce dependency on extra services. * Cost Efficiency: Offer bundle pricing tiers or discounts for high‑volume enterprise customers, or an option for cost‑optimized internal DNS zones. * Improved Error Diagnostics: Provide more descriptive error codes and guided troubleshooting steps in the portal or CLI.

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

"If you're running your enterprise application on Azure, it's convenient to use Azure DNS. It has native integration with other Azure solutions, and Microsoft is a globally recognized DNS provider. You also get CDN services. If you're a media company that requires on-demand data streaming, your DNS plays a vital role by working with CDN services to publish your application. It's cheaper and easier to expand your solution."

"Azure DNS provides end-to-end P2P connectivity and enhances security, making it more secure and reliable."

"The initial setup is straightforward and not that complex."

"Can be configured to achieve a hundred percent reliability"

"The most valuable feature is the ease of installation."

"Data protection is paramount across cloud platforms"

"Integration with other Azure services is good."

"The integration with other services on Azure is valuable."

More Azure DNS pros

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

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

Cons

"They should include more integration with other platforms."

"The technical support can be more knowledgeable."

"The licensing cost should be improved."

"Azure needs to add domain registration to the DNS service."

"The support from Microsoft in India is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"There are some issues with the solution's performance where improvements are needed."

"The CDN integration could be improved."

"There are some latency issues that could be improved."

More Azure DNS cons

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

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

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"To use Azure DNS, I need to buy the license meant for Windows Server."

"The pricing is expensive."

"The solution is free."

"The solution is moderately priced."

"In my opinion, DNS is inexpensive. The pricing depends on how you use it, but overall, it's quite affordable. It typically costs just a fesw cents, and Microsoft even offers ten thousand free hits per month."

"The solution's price is reasonable."

"The price is low and it's a reasonable price for that product."

"The solution payment model is based on how many users use it. This is not an expensive solution, but it can depend on how long we use it. However, if the price was decreased it would be helpful."

More Azure DNS pricing and cost advice

"I would rate the pricing a ten out of ten, with ten being very expensive."
