We performed a comparison between BlueCat Integrity and Cloudflare DNS based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Managed DNS solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable piece, which has been a lifesaver, would be the BlueCat DNS resolver. BlueCat Cloud DNS resolver is a tool that takes a look into your cloud's DNS and then reports back everything it finds into BlueCat's DNS Edge solution. The Edge solution has a bunch of nice rules that you can configure to route the DNS traffic. That automation alone is a lifesaver for me for the day-to-day churn of the DNS components that change on an hourly, daily basis."
"DNS aliases, which we use extensively in our applications are a valuable feature."
"The solution includes automatic management of segments."
"The solution is scalable in multiple ways."
"One of the key features enabling us to operate at our current scale is robust automation."
"Since implementing BlueCat, we have experienced fewer problems, anomalies, and strange issues."
"It's a critical infrastructure piece. This is where all the IPs are named for the whole organization. It's a big deal. It has all the features related to DNS and DHCP. It's pretty amazing."
"Adaptive DNS's best feature is DDoS protection, which stops malware and network security attacks."
"Even when there is a high load on our servers, Cloudflare is able to cache the data and serve it to users, ensuring they can still access the website."
"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare DNS is its global reach and it is always evolving."
"The most valuable features of the solution are performance and security."
"Its most significant benefit to date is the speed with which it refreshes DNS records on the internet once you change it. If you are changing a website or registering a new record, it is very quick."
"Its ease of integration with Office 365 and the fact that it's a good product compared to what I had before"
"The attacker won't have details since my public IP is anonymous. It offers us good privacy."
"It is a stable solution. I rate the stability a ten out of ten...I rate the scalability a ten out of ten."
"I get a lot of value from Cloudflare's API because it enables you to build a separate environment inside the solution. You can create a domain for performing test requests before you move to the production environment and connect various domains."
"The integration has room for improvement."
"The technical support is slow and has room for improvement."
"The ease of use is where I got to give a little knock on them. Once you start using the tool, it becomes very easy. It's actually quite easy to use. The problem that I run into is documentation. The documentation could be a little bit richer. Documentation has always been a little pet peeve for me with them."
"One crucial area for development is IPv6 support."
"One complaint about the interface is BlueCat's handling of subzones."
"However, it does not offer robust support for high availability failover with different subnets, especially if the servers are located in different data centers and belong to distinct IP networks."
"Usability needs to be better."
"Adaptive DNS only supports AWS for network automation and cloud computing and would be improved if it also supported other options like Azure or Google Cloud."
"There might be helpful if there was some web application firewall feature."
"It would be helpful if the solution could continue evolving to compete with the other solutions on the market."
"An integrated SSO feature would be useful for Cloudflare DNS."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"The tool needs to improve caching of servers. The product needs to include PFX certificate as well."
"I believe they currently have this feature, but there will most likely be integration with APIs so we can control some features through API."
"We have noticed multiple instances where Cloudflare falsely indicates that our servers are down, even when there is no actual load on them. This makes it challenging for us to identify the exact issue."
"Cloudflare should add more documentation and pricing to the cloud version."
