DEEPAK KUMAR PACHDEO DUBEY - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior IT Support Specialist at PXGEO
Delivers efficiency and agility with USB control limitations
One area where we lag is that, since we use everything from Heimdal, including XDR and other features, we also use the privilege manager feature called Elevation. What we lack is granular USB control. We have an issue where we can only switch USB on or off. I want to whitelist specific devices in the network, which I currently cannot do.
GANESAN K - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Technical Engineer at Safezone Secure Solutions Private Limited
Centralized DNS security has simplified subnet policies and now protects users across networks
The scheduled report feature for Infoblox BloxOne Threat Defense needs improvement. The scheduled reports are sent with a standardized template from Infoblox. It would be highly beneficial if we had customization options for the scheduled reports. This is a key feature that many enterprise customers would be seeking, especially when they need to present reports to management. The reports should include pie charts or bar graphs indicating what traffic is coming and going through the system. Those chart types and drill-down details are also essential for the IT team. We need more customized reports that can provide different reports for the management team and for the IT team. The current reports are available but are not as helpful as customers need. We are currently dedicating logs manually and doing this as a service for our customers, but this should be handled by Infoblox BloxOne Threat Defense. Infoblox BloxOne Threat Defense is a bit expensive.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"As compared to multiple solutions I have used in the past, Heimdal is a very agile and lightweight solution."
"I would advise others to take the whole DNS Firewall subscription because it will add value to their solution."
"Overall, Infoblox BloxOne Threat Defense is a wonderful tool—one of the best we have used for DNS security, and if any enterprise needs such a solution, they should definitely consider this product to find value in the platform."
"Infoblox DNS Firewall improved our organization by checking that all traffic came from a proper IP address."
"The product is stable."
"I find all the features of Infoblox BloxOne Threat Defense, including asset discovery as well as DNS security, most valuable."
"The most important features for us are preventing DDOS DNS attacks."
"Infoblox BloxOne Threat Defense provides the best dashboard review, where analysts can see everything visualized in an effective way, such as blocked DNS requests, the most targeted users, suspicious domains list, and threat categories, and the executive report summary is also fantastic."
"If you talk about competitors like F5, BlueCat, no solution is comparable to Infoblox BloxOne Threat Defense."
 

Cons

"What we lack is granular USB control. We have an issue where we can only switch USB on or off."
"Infoblox BloxOne Threat Defense is a bit expensive."
"They could work on the UI of their website and make their website more user-friendly."
"The onboarding is a little rough at times, and you need to have some information at hand. It is pretty good, but it would be useful to have a few good examples to set up things like data exfiltration."
"I have faced quite a few problems in my eight months of experience with the product in GTS, despite it being a relatively short period."
"The product could be cheaper."
"Infoblox BloxOne Threat Defense is quite expensive, especially due to the significant increase in the subscription fee after the first year. This unexpected increase was a problem for us."
"Customer support is good, but sometimes there is a lack of clarity that the technical assistant team struggles to deliver, leading us to escalate cases for a more in-depth understanding of the tool."
"The documentation needs to be improved because there are a lot of different models that it can be deployed in, and it's somewhat confusing determining what you need and how to set it up to best cover your use cases."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It's a pricey solution because it's for the advanced kind of customer."
"The licensing is set up such that you pay for the number of active users that you're defending at the moment."
"When you buy the subscription, there are no additional costs to add any additional buttons."
"There is a significant charge for this product but I think that it's worth it when we look at what it's able to prevent."
"If you only wanted the DNS filtering and none of the other products built into Threat Defense, it would be nicer if they could do that a la carte since we are not really using a lot of the solution."
"It is a very expensive system. You need to go over the licensing before purchase to make sure you're getting what is needed, not anything extra."
"Infoblox BloxOne offers pretty good documentation. Check its documentation, then do a PoC. Infoblox is very good at providing PoCs."
