More EfficientIP DNS Guardian Cons →

"The reporting system needs improvement. They should make is that we can customize it so we can add, remove or change its interface but they use a template. The reports cannot be changed.""It addresses a specific risk related to malicious sites but doesn't cover broader security aspects.""Reporting is not done in real-time. Rather, it is done in 15-minute intervales. This is something that should be configurable by the admin.""The price could be improved.""If the solution could integrate with FortiGate where there would only be a need of one dashboard instead of having to set policies on our firewall and our DNS, this would be helpful.""It needs to be more secure for production environments."
