Find out in this report how the two DDI solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
Infoblox offers an ROI that saves time and money.
Integrating DDI offers more efficient return on investment compared to implementing DHCP, DNS security, and IP address management separately.
This is helping us achieve five to 10 times faster delivery due to the reduced downtime.
We did not have any DNS-related incidents in three years supporting the traffic flow for about 10 million people.
Previously, people spent around 100 hours a month on tasks that were reduced to 10 hours, freeing up time for learning and engaging in multiple projects, increasing from three or four per month to nine or ten.
Whenever we have an issue, they are very helpful.
The customer service and support are fantastic.
They supported issues related to DNS, DHCP, and the grid architecture, providing not just scripted answers, but also helping us with configuration, outages, and complex troubleshooting.
if we create a ticket, we receive feedback within two hours,
InfoBlox DDI is very scalable, offering both physical and virtual box solutions.
I rate the scalability of Infoblox as eight out of ten.
Regarding DDI, DNS and DHCP at scale, it handles millions of DNS queries per second and huge lease volume without hiccups.
Whenever we make replacements or changes, the downtime is really low.
Infoblox NIOS's scalability is excellent for our organization; they are flexible to align with our growth.
I am not seeing any issues while deploying because the deployment process is very easy and simple with straightforward steps.
Infoblox encounters some glitches, making it not entirely super stable.
Infoblox NIOS is very stable in our environment, with no unexpected downtime.
It is designed for critical infrastructure, high availability, minimal downtime, and predictable behavior.
I evaluated other options before choosing Infoblox NIOS, and I can confirm that Infoblox NIOS is stable.
It would be helpful if we can log in and click on the server, and have the CLI pop up directly instead of using third-party software, like PuTTY.
The commercial pricing could be reduced to attract more small customers.
I have experienced instances where a URL was triggered by Infoblox even though it was not accessed.
Infoblox engineers recommend upgrading to NIOS 9.0.5 for enhanced visibility and control, but considering NIOS 9.6 may offer better logging and troubleshooting capabilities, as well as performance enhancements and future-ready integration.
Advanced features such as grid extensibility and APIs require solid training.
The missing point I can see in Infoblox NIOS is the load balancing functionalities, where for a DNS A record that has two IP addresses, we need the possibility to monitor those IP addresses to see if one goes down.
The pricing is quite expensive, which is why I recommend it for medium and large enterprises and not for small businesses.
InfoBlox DDI is a premium product and is relatively expensive compared to other solutions in the market.
Infoblox DDI's pricing is quite high compared to others.
We bought the perpetual plus support contract which provides renewed support yearly.
My experience with the pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Infoblox NIOS was good, but it is very, very expensive compared to other DNS infrastructure vendors.
Infoblox NIOS pricing feels somewhat higher because I am comparing it to competitors.
These features make Infoblox DDI preferable because users can get any kind of support, and the UI is easily trainable.
The DDI solution is valuable for its ability to integrate DHCP, DNS security, and IP address management, along with threat intelligence into one platform.
The DNS component of Infoblox DDI is the most valuable feature for us because it includes DNSSEC for DNS security.
Infoblox NIOS has impacted my organization positively by giving us an overview about how users utilize the internet, stopping many DNS breaches generated by internal users, and helping us to determine the distribution of IP addresses through DNS IPAM.
Infoblox NIOS has positively impacted my organization by providing visibility and control over everything. This visibility and control help my team with faster troubleshooting and better security.
The control and automation it puts in place eliminate errors, speed up deployments, and ensure network reliability and stability.
