Another feature that I find particularly useful is the integration of DNS, which can be seamlessly integrated with your existing primary DNS server, making the overall experience much more seamless and efficient."
"It offers an easy initial setup."
"Infoblox DDI is a good tool if you want to centralize everything in your environment...It is a stable solution."

"The DNSSEC feature is not yet available on the DNS server so it needs to be added."
"Azure DNS does provide enhanced support for applications and includes several security features to protect against threats. One of the security features it offers is the ability to detect and prevent dangling DNS records, which can be used in cyber attacks. Dangling DNS records occur when a website owner creates a domain name but forgets to remove the CNAME record, leaving the domain vulnerable to takeover by malicious actors. Azure DNS includes security measures to identify and prevent such threats, helping to keep your DNS infrastructure secure. However, if Microsoft could add more security capabilities to the DNS, that would be great to detect and identify anomalies that are happening to prevent cyber threats."
"There are some issues with the solution's performance where improvements are needed."
"They should include more integration with other platforms."
"The pricing can be more competitive."

"They need to provide more training and tutorials than what's provided on the website."
"Regarding an upcoming release of Infoblox DDI, I would like to see an improvement in the existing integration with Ansible. Currently, the integration is not up to par and requires further enhancements, particularly in Ansible version 2.5. Additionally, the GUI is slow, it could be improved."
"They need to reconsider their pricing for their SMB customers. It is a hurdle for them to manage the price."
"The solution is expensive."
