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."

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

"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."

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

"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."

"From a security engineer's perspective, Infoblox DNS security is the best in the industry."

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

"I am overall satisfied with Infoblox support."

"IPAM's best features include the view of how many soft nets are filled from your container and the grid master, and it's also excellent for server management."

"The features we found the most valuable were being able to handle DHCP scopes and handing out DHCP leases. We weren't doing some of the things that we can do, such as DNS query rate limiting. Our usage was pretty standard. We wanted to be able to track our IP addresses to create DNS entries and then create DHCP and manage DHCP scopes. We used the standard features the most."

More Infoblox IPAM pros

Cons

"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 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."

"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."

"The only room for improvement in Infoblox IPAM is its compatibility and flexibility with IPv6."

"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 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."

"Infoblox IPAM also needs some improvement on its threat engine and RPZ policies, or DNS firewall or DNS policies."

"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."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

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

"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 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."

"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."

"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."

"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 cost depends on the scale at which we're deploying it. It's an annual subscription that ranges between $1,000 and $2,000."
