Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Infoblox, F5 and others in Domain Name System (DNS) Security."When it comes to helping to detect DNS threats, BloxOne is good on all fronts. The number of false positives is very low, close to none. More than once it has detected new names or lookalike names and protected us and saved us from bad characters."
"The dossier feature is perfect for starting an investigation."
"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."
"With the model we have, we are able to scale very easily if we need to."
"Infoblox has helped us improve in the way that we look at data as it comes in and out. We monitor and manage queries from every device that sits inside our company, e.g., every user, every laptop, and every query. When you type something into the web, Infoblox will scan or manage that. If it is going somewhere bad, then it will block them. From a metrics perspective, it gives us data, letting us go back and find those impacted or infected clients to either clean their devices or remove them from the network."
"The product is stable."
"Infoblox BloxOne Threat Defense furthers the existing security posture rather than replacing or trying to replace any existing products."
"The reporting ability is helpful. It allows us to control what our users are able to resolve, and then be able to see reports on that."
"It is absolutely stable."
"From my point of view, this solution is stable and we haven't had any real issues."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is dual authentication, which is good from a security perspective."
"A lot of their documentation needs improvement."
"We would like to see more reporting capabilities that are now offered only with the on-premises reporting appliance."
"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."
"The integration of threat intelligence with other solutions is challenging. If I want to expose threat intelligence, I cannot do it via taxi services. I have to call the API, but the customers are not into creating the APIs. The integration of embedded threat intelligence with other platforms should be better. Infoblox should work on this, and it should be easier for the end user to integrate it. It is very easy to deploy this solution. We should be able to integrate it with other platforms, such as the Next-Generation Firewall, with the same ease."
"Within the past two years, we discovered certain bugs in their products. The resolution of these bugs took a little too much time, especially if our production environment is down for a certain amount of time, then we are losing money. That is hard to convey to Infoblox support, e.g., we actually need the system up and running again within two or three hours. The awareness of these so-called production down incidents is not really easy to convey."
"The initial setup is not a simple "click-click-next" installation. It requires some level of experience ."
"This is not just Infoblox, this could be any portal provider, cloud provider, sometimes they change the look of the customer-facing options and it's not completely clear why they make the change."
"The dashboard and reporting features need improvement. The user needs more informative dashboards so they can get to the results directly without getting deep in the report to get to the information."
"In terms of improvement, it should be easier to manage. We have a small team and don't have much expertise, we need things that are easy to manage."
"I would like to see more monitoring, and there could always be deeper information to find out where issues are."
"It would be helpful if this solution would collect information about people who are connecting from external devices so that we can rate their user experience in using the virtual desktops."
