Raj Metkar

Director, Head of Networks at MUFG, EMEA

Acts as a first line of defense, allows for full utilization of IP addresses in a network and the ability to block unwanted traffic using DNS is powerful

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. However, I don't think it is a problem with the platform itself. It seems to be more of an integration issue with the secondary DNS provider we are trying to use on the Internet, called Cloudflare. So, it is more of an integration problem between Cloudflare DNS and any public DNS. I would like to improve the integration aspect of these two products. The platform should be able to work seamlessly with any other secondary DNS provider on the Internet. If Infoblox can make their licensing cheaper, then this platform could be widely used because it does cost a fortune to have it. That's why we do not have it in every entity that we manage.

Combined with unique features, this solution provides excellent visibility over a network

How difficult the initial setup is depends on how you're approaching it. If it's a greenfield install, the setup's straightforward. It gets complicated if you already have another DHCP or DNS service in place and you need to migrate off of those. That isn't so much an issue on the Infoblox side because it concerns the proprietary natures of Microsoft DNS and DHCP or big iron or any other solution you're replacing. The time it takes to deploy Infoblox IPAM depends on whether it's a greenfield install or a migration. The migration can be tricky, especially if you have to do it in a scenario where you can't have any interruption at all to any of your users or clients. The people who handled deployment were primarily system administrator types, the folks that handled the existing DNS and DHCP solutions. After that, it becomes your network team, and your service desk can access the recording functions to look things up. Most of the solution is back-end within the IT environment. It's pretty seamless to do it right to the end users in the organization. The solution needs maintenance. It is not a very high-maintenance type of solution with updates coming up. Maintenance generally covers more troubleshooting issues, with some of the automated features not working for one reason or another. Infoblox has a smaller maintenance scale than a Microsoft solution, where you must maintain the OS, the DDE server, the DNS server, the clients, and so on. But Infoblox is not a complete set-it-and-forget-it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

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

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

"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."

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

"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."

"Infoblox IPAM provides visibility into what's on your network and helps fingerprint devices based on the OS, manufacturer, and other things along those lines."

"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."

"The most important feature of Infoblox IPAM for my clients is its reliability."

"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."

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

"Infoblox gives us the flexibility to manage our internal networks and publish the data outside of the network on the internet. It's quite fluid to do it."

More Infoblox IPAM pros

Cons

"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."

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

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

"Their biggest problem is with the corporate side of the house as far as getting a support response or getting a sales team response isn't always as efficient as it should be and as it used to be."

"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."

"Infoblox IPAM could improve some of the features. The market is demanding for some features that are not there, but there is always a reason why it's not there. At the moment, the solution is rather complete for what it's used for. It can always extend to solve some other issues that are linked to it, but the solution itself is complete."

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

"It is challenging to find training tutorials online."

"The only room for improvement in Infoblox IPAM is its compatibility and flexibility with IPv6. There's been an issue transitioning from IPv4 to IPv6, and though Infoblox is in the process of resolving the issue, it would be better if the team could come up with a solution in a quicker timeframe. Better transitioning from IPv4 to IPv6 is what I'd like to see in the next release of the solution."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"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."
