Have built secure, automated DNS pipelines and simplified cloud DNS management through integration

I would like to see a bunch of templated or policy-driven provisioning for DNSSEC in the next release of Infoblox BloxOne DDI. Additionally, I would like to see DNS hosting so you do not have to deploy the NIOS appliances yourself or manage another cloud DNS service. This would allow you to pare back your DNS registration and hosting to just registrar services. That way, you would have a fully integrated, vertically integrated API stack for being able to affect all of your automated changes against your actual public authorities as well rather than just your internal resolvers and authorities. I think that would be something quite cool for them to have.

Centralized visibility has streamlined IP workflows and now needs more customization and AI

Infoblox IPAM's integration with DNS and DHCP helps me streamline my network operations as an internal process. It is automatically connected with DHCP, and IPAM is internally connected with DHCP. I utilize the automated IP address discovery feature with Infoblox IPAM, which is called Network Discovery. For Network Discovery, it actually helps with workflow because we have to configure the seed routers, then SNMP credentials, then CLI credentials. There are different ways to configure the different types of devices, such as devices in firewalls, devices in SDN elements, and devices connected with a switch. There are multiple ways to discover the devices. For the valuable insights I have gained from Infoblox IPAM's real-time visibility and analytics, we have to set the SNMP polling. For the discovery, it may take approximately 24 hours to fetch all the details and get all the updates, including all discovered devices and their fetched details.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"When we compare, if we spend 200,000 to 250,000 every year or every second year on security compliance, that is money we could transfer into the licensing for a SaaS service such as Infoblox BloxOne DDI, then we get all of the continuous patching, threat analysis, and that type of capability coming through without having to maintain such skilled staff."

"It actually prevents a lot of false alarms because if a link is blocked by antivirus, it creates an alert for the IT risk team to investigate. By not resolving the IP for a malicious link, it stops many issues before they escalate. This has improved our security posture significantly."

"The most valuable features of Infoblox BloxOne DDI are its ability to manage all DDI services effectively and monitor them in real-time."

"In my experience, I am satisfied with the functionality; there is no lack of functions, and it is a very powerful solution because they work with this technology, so they are probably number one."

"The overall product rating is ten out of ten."

"A valuable feature is blocking domain generation, which automatically generates domains to protect the internal network."

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

"One of the most valuable features of this solution has been DNS security. It has a solid foundation for building DNS, DHCP, and Advanced Threat Prevention."

"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."

"It provides us with flexibility."

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

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

"For me, the best feature of Infoblox IPAM is that you can use BloxOne DDI which means you can manage everything from the cloud and have security policies as well. I also like that Infoblox IPAM is plug-and-play."

"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."

More Infoblox IPAM pros

Cons

"At this stage, we are struggling to use some of the DNS features of the platform, which are more about protecting your domain from hijacking and similar threats."

"Infoblox BloxOne DDI would not be for smaller companies. I think if you are under 1,200 staff, you probably want to look for a professional service or something that is integrated into the platforms you have already got."

"There is a need for a comprehensive database on DNS."

"Infoblox is fairly expensive for my customers. I am unsure if this is a general comment or specific to my situation."

"Infoblox BloxOne DDI is good to use, but there could be improvements in its visualization and dashboarding UI."

"There are probably some strict agreements, and the answers are probably not so rapid. The responsiveness could at least be improved, but I have not had many cases, just a few."

"When we use the forwarders or when we're trying to connect with the internet, sometimes there are issues and the publishing time is longer."

"The scope of our use of this solution is limited to the DDI IPAM solution for Infoblox. This solution could be improved by offering multiple integrations with IPAM which could already exist but we aren't aware of them."

"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."

"It is challenging to find training tutorials online."

"When we do a host entry, it also reflects in the lookup. We should be able to filter that part. If we do only the A and PTR records, we need to reflect only that part in the lookup."

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

"How you track IPs within a subnet and how all of that works was not intuitive to me. If I compare it to VitalQIP, I create a subnet, and it's a slash 24 size. It's very easy. I look, and here are my 254 IPs. I can then see if I have assigned a static, do I have a DHCP scope, and what's the name of the device. That's all there in front of me. The thing that I found frustrating with Infoblox was that it was not very intuitive."

"The marketing of the solution could improve to give customers the awareness of the benefits."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the pricing a ten out of ten, with ten being very expensive."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

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

"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."
