Automated threat detection has protected our organization and saves significant investigation time
HYAS Protect offers everything on a single page. There is not a huge number of options, so it is reduced and made to be easy to use. The ease of use with HYAS Protect has saved our time in finding solutions very easily. HYAS Protect has impacted my organization positively because there were many investigation and threat investigation applications available. There are options, but when it comes to HYAS Protect, it is easier and it is competitive. HYAS Protect has reduced the time spent on investigations because many engineers need to investigate issues, but it has reduced that time with its automation feature.

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.

Pros

"HYAS Protect has impacted my organization positively because there were many investigation and threat investigation applications available, but when it comes to HYAS Protect, it is easier and it is competitive."
"Infoblox BloxOne Threat Defense saves time and reduces workforce dependencies, and instead of having separate DHCP and DNS servers, separate Windows OS, and separate infrastructure with ongoing maintenance costs, those costs are covered within this solution itself."
"Once it is set up, it pretty much runs on its own."
"Infoblox DNS Firewall improved our organization by checking that all traffic came from a proper IP address."
"Our ability to detect data exfiltration was minimal before Infoblox and the cloud portal was instituted for us, and in terms of DNS security as a whole, we had some capability with our firewalls, but this is a lot more specialized because we're sending all of our DNS requests to Infoblox, and I'd say we improved 100%."
"If you talk about competitors like F5, BlueCat, no solution is comparable to Infoblox BloxOne Threat Defense."
"The automatic blocklists are most valuable. A box can maintain several lists from which we can choose if we need to block more or less. We don't have to manually manage the lists ourselves. They're automatically updated."
"The stability of Infoblox BloxOne Threat Defense is near perfect at a rating of ten."
"BloxOne provides automatic sharing of network context data, which affects our speed of threat response and provide real-time threat intelligence. Our security operations needs this to do their work. It makes us feel safer."
 

Cons

"By adding more automation features, HYAS Protect can be improved."
"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."
"A lot of their documentation needs improvement."
"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."
"They could work on the UI of their website and make their website more user-friendly."
"The initial setup is not a simple "click-click-next" installation. It requires some level of experience ."
"The integration of embedded threat intelligence with other platforms should be better."
"The setup was horrible. About a year ago, Infoblox made us re-enroll all our on-prem DNS servers by a set date to a specific version, or it would stop working. I told my colleague, "Oh, here, we have to upgrade the servers and reconnect them to the CSP." That did not go well at all."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"Infoblox BloxOne offers pretty good documentation. Check its documentation, then do a PoC. Infoblox is very good at providing PoCs."
"It's a pricey solution because it's for the advanced kind of customer."
"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."
"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."
