Support and communication have been great during setup and implementation
Allocating SRV based on geographical location using GeoDNS. This was primarily for a global VOIP deployment. We also use GeoDNS with A records to distribute different versions of websites according to the country which provides us some regulatory value and more direct marketing. It also allows us…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Great performance, easy configuration."
"Tough to provide numbers, but avoiding downtime and calls from my employees when the VPN goes down was priceless."
"We have improved our flexibility to deploy web-based or DNS based solutions globally and deliver services more reliably."
"Support was outstanding when first setting up in trial mode and also after we had gone live with the product."
"The most valuable feature of Infoblox DDI is its IP Address Management (IPAM) tool. This tool allows for the effective management of IP addresses and provides the capability to detect duplicates, hence its moniker "discovery." 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."
"The best feature is the user interface."
"Infoblox DDI is capable of fulfilling customer requirements from a DNS security, DHCP, and IPAM perspective."
"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."
"Infoblox has more technology patents than any of its competitors."
"One of the benefits of implementing Infoblox DDI is that it supports both RADIUS and TACACS+."
"The customer service and support are fantastic."
 

Cons

"My only recommendation might be a better, more modern interface."
"Compared to the other platforms, the interface is not as smooth, but the options and support help make that a non-issue."
"The email for each line change is excessive, perhaps if the change emails consolidated all changes per domain in a given hour."
"Just to be able to import records with our current DNS product which didn't seem to work with importing domains using AXFR zone transfer records."
"It would be helpful if we can log in and click on the server, and have the CLI pop up directly instead of using third-party software, like PuTTY, to log in."
"There are some bugs and glitches that need attention."
"They need to reconsider their pricing for their SMB customers. It is a hurdle for them to manage the price."
"The recategorization part takes longer with Infoblox DDI compared to other companies like Symantec, Zscaler, and Palo Alto."
"Infoblox DDI could be slightly improved in terms of scalability."
"In terms of improvement, the commercial pricing could be reduced to attract more small customers. Currently, it is cost-effective mainly for larger enterprises."
"The solution is expensive."
"The pricing model could be more flexible."
