User-friendly interface, exceptional support, and enables a lot of time savings

The overall benefit of using BlueCat Integrity is that it allows access to servers and troubleshooting of servers, which is not offered by some of the other market products. When you use BlueCat Integrity, you learn more than VDI. You get hands-on experience with Linux. You get to learn more things when you are using BlueCat Integrity. They also offer exceptional customer service. BlueCat Integrity provides a single-pane-of-glass view of our IP address space. Within this single pane of glass, we can also have multiple views. I can create multiple subblocks and configure them, for example, country-wise. It drastically reduces human error, reducing it by 80% to 85%. BlueCat has helped our organization reduce downtime. We can monitor the online status of services with the help of SNMP. We can use all three SNMP variables, such as SNMPv1, SNMPv2, and SNMPv3. With the help of that, we can monitor server health. It has helped save a huge amount of time in the domain and record creation process. It saves about 90% of our time. BlueCat Integrity has relieved engineers from manual tasks, freeing up time for other projects. It relieves engineers in a huge way. It relieves the DDI engineers from touching the Linux bind servers or DB servers. Using BlueCat Integrity saves a huge amount of time. With that time, we can handle other projects. I use REST APIs. I create scripts, and we have our gateway, so we create our own gateway workflows. We use BlueCat automation to create around four to five thousand objects. It saves about two minutes per object.

Works well, helps to avoid mistakes, and supports bulk entries

It is pretty scalable. On Infoblox IPAM, we have a total of five segments of slash 16. It is a vast network. Apart from that, there are multiple domains. I support French companies, and they have multiple domains. That DNS is also a part of Infoblox for which we need to do the entries. It is used on a daily basis in operations. If we face any issues, such as the IP is not reachable, the first thing we'll check is whether it is resolving or not. If we consider nslookup, it will also go to DNS. So, it is used daily.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I've been impressed by BlueCat's performance and user-friendly GUI."

"Since implementing BlueCat, we have experienced fewer problems, anomalies, and strange issues."

"BlueCat Integrity's scalability and user-friendliness are the most valuable features."

"The most valuable aspect is its user-friendly interface. It is straightforward to use."

"The solution is scalable in multiple ways."

"The most valuable feature of BlueCat Integrity is decentralized management, which enables real-time visibility and control over the entire IP address space, DNS, and DHCP from a single console."

"The most significant advantage of BlueCat is its foundation on open-source software, specifically BIND and ISC DHCP."

"It is easy to use. It has an understandable GUI interface. Its deployment is relatively easy."

More BlueCat Integrity pros

"It helps to avoid manual mistakes and we can add the proper DNS if we add an Alias name to that. We are aware of the CNAME we need to use. By using Infoblox as a DNS, we can add the A and PTR records, which is helpful for the lookup as well as the reverse lookup."

"This is a DDI solution and having one management control has been most useful."

"Before IPAM (IP Address Management) came into the picture, every user had to depend on an Active Directory engineer to get an IP assigned. With Infoblox IPAM, there's automation or auto assignment of IP addresses which is a valuable feature. There's also the capability of storing many networks in one place through the solution. Infoblox IPAM solved the major issue of needing an Active Directory engineer to assign an IP."

"We can specify the availability of subnets when we create them."

"Regarding DDI, I would say the best feature of Infoblox is the DNS security. DNS tunneling is a significant security issue and is very difficult to protect against based on our tests with other types of security devices. However, Infoblox eliminates this issue and provides excellent security against a difficult threat."

"IPAM's best features include the view of how many soft nets are filled from your container and the grid master."

"The graphical user interface is very user-friendly and simple to use. It is very simple to use if you have never used it before."

"Infoblox gives us the flexibility to manage our internal networks and publish the data outside of the network on the internet. It's quite fluid to do it."

More Infoblox IPAM pros

"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpUtils is the ease of use. Additionally, the IP address and port switch management, and twenty more tools for discovering networks and administrative management for Cisco devices are beneficial."

Cons

"I would like the GUI to be similar to AWS and Azure, where we can simply click on an item to expand it and see all the information on one page, without having to click to the next page."

"The technical support is slow and has room for improvement."

"The solution does not export reports in a comprehensive format."

"Unfortunately, BlueCat Integrity doesn't support bulk Content Security Policy configuration."

"The UI is outdated and needs a modern refresh."

"While the product is IPAM, DNS, and DHCP, it does provide NTP functionality, but one of the things that they have yet to correct or catch up with is NTP authentication. There are new standards being pushed out and they are lagging a little bit in supporting them."

"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 complaint about the interface is BlueCat's handling of subzones."

More BlueCat Integrity cons

"The only room for improvement in Infoblox IPAM is its compatibility and flexibility with IPv6. There's been an issue transitioning from IPv4 to IPv6, and though Infoblox is in the process of resolving the issue, it would be better if the team could come up with a solution in a quicker timeframe. Better transitioning from IPv4 to IPv6 is what I'd like to see in the next release of the solution."

"Infoblox IPAM could improve some of the features. The market is demanding for some features that are not there, but there is always a reason why it's not there. At the moment, the solution is rather complete for what it's used for. It can always extend to solve some other issues that are linked to it, but the solution itself is complete."

"The solution is not easy to use; the GUI and CLI are challenging to use, limiting end-user capability. We can't use Linux terminal features with Infoblox, as it struggles to detect and troubleshoot problems. We generally use troubleshooting tools like tcpdump in our network security area and we can use that in Infoblox with limited features."

"An area for improvement is IPAM's smart folders, which can be slow to access and would benefit from a search feature."

"From an IPAM standpoint, DHCP is an area that needs to be improved."

"CLI needs to be user-friendly. There should be an option to commit changes."

"Infoblox IPAM has improved and is better, but it needs to have an external GSLB functionality. Currently, the solution has a GLSB functionality for internal appliances, but for an external user, that functionality doesn't exist. Infoblox IPAM also needs some improvement on its threat engine and RPZ policies, or DNS firewall or DNS policies. An additional feature I'd like to see in Infoblox IPAM is zero-touch provisioning in terms of the appliances. Currently, there's zero-touch provisioning for cloud-based devices, but for physical appliances in branches, there's none, so you still have to do some configurations. For example, if you have existing DNS infrastructure and you need to set up Infoblox IPAM in new branches, and you need more appliances, you should be able to just plug the solution into the network, and there shouldn't be any manual interference required."

"Their biggest problem is with the corporate side of the house as far as getting a support response or getting a sales team response isn't always as efficient as it should be and as it used to be."

More Infoblox IPAM cons

"ManageEngine OpUtils could improve by offering a cloud version of the solution. It is important to have cloud solutions. It is important to have someone with network knowledge to use the solution."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"BlueCat Integrity is more cost-effective than Infoblox."

"Overall, I would say that it is priced fairly, though perhaps a bit on the high side."

"Adaptive DNS's price depends on your network ranges, the services you want, and the level of support you require."

"They're competitive. The way they run their model is good. Could it stand some tweaking? Sure. There are some items there. One of the things I looked at in the recent past was their container solutions. You have to pay for licensing to use their containerized platform, but the licensing doesn't include the container licensing itself. I'd love to be able to have one big package per se."

"BlueCat Integrity is a little expensive, but it's worth the price because it offers the flexibility and features we need in our space. We have more than 25,000 employees, and it makes sense for a network of our size. It's required for us to be compliant in the defense industry. Given the restrictions we face, we must be able to easily show that we've complied with all the regulations."

"BlueCat Integrity's pricing is reasonable within the market."

"Compared to other solutions, BlueCat Integrity offers a competitive price."

"While BlueCat falls on the expensive side, its exceptional customer service and consistent quality justify the cost."

More BlueCat Integrity pricing and cost advice

"I rate Infoblox IPAM’s pricing a seven out of ten, since their price is up there."

"They were expensive. They were known to be expensive. In general, they used to at least try to encourage you to upgrade to hardware every three years. Infoblox had a reputation as being one of the better solutions but also one of the more expensive solutions, whereas VitalQ was definitely a much more affordable solution. With Infoblox, anytime you replace hardware, there would also be the cost of the hardware upgrade. So, besides the software licensing fee, there were also hardware maintenance and hardware upgrade fees. I would rate it a 3 out of 10 in terms of pricing."

"The licensing cost for Infoblox IPAM depends on your usage and also depends on your term plans, for example, you may want it for three months, six months, or only for seven days. I don't remember the exact licensing cost, but it depends on your organization's structure and how many networks you are going to need."

"Infoblox IPAM is a licensed product, and my company pays for it yearly. It depends on the licensing model you choose because right now, the solution can also be subscription-based, specifically the cloud version, but the traditional licensing model for it is one that's paid yearly. The cost would depend on the organization. I know how much my company pays for Infoblox IPAM, but I won't disclose that information. If your company has $10,000,000 or $20,000,000, for example, and you need stability, then I'd say the solution is worth it. If your company is a startup, then the solution may not be worth it, but it would still depend on the ability of your company because Infoblox IPAM is one of the costlier solutions in the market."

"Infoblox IPAM is a very expensive solution and it should improve. The solution is subscription-based, and the payments can be monthly or yearly. There are additional costs for more features, and the exact cost depends on the features you're using."

"We purchase yearly licenses, and I don't know the exact price as I'm not involved in the finance or sales departments. Infoblox is one of the more expensive products in the DDI environment, so I would say that for organizations looking to combine DNS, DSTP, and IP management with security features, the solution is worth it. However, for organizations only looking for an IP management tool, for example, many more affordable options are available."

"The cost depends on the scale at which we're deploying it. It's an annual subscription that ranges between $1,000 and $2,000."

"The price of the solution is reasonable compared to competitors, such as Akamai."

"The price of ManageEngine OpUtils is inexpensive. The pricing model they use is billed for the number of IP addresses or hardware you use."
