Centralized DNS tracking has improved incident response and simplifies security investigations
The best feature Infoblox IPAM offers is the ease of having everything in one place. Having everything in one place with Infoblox IPAM, such as networks, records, CNAMEs, DNS, and other elements, is easy to manage from a single platform instead of having to log into different vendors. The DHCP monitoring feature stands out as well.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We are happy with the product, and it provides us with flexibility."
"From a security engineer's perspective, Infoblox DNS security is the best in the industry."
"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."
"Based on my experience of using Infoblox, it is a stable product."
"We can specify the availability of subnets when we create them."
"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 graphical user interface is very user-friendly and simple to use. It is very simple to use if you have never used it before."
"Infoblox is a stable product and, in general, it has a reputation as being a pretty stable solution, and it was stable for us when we had it in terms of uptime."
"The most valuable feature of Infoblox Network Insight [EOL] is the information it provides about networks."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"An area for improvement is IPAM's smart folders, which can be slow to access and would benefit from a search feature."
"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 only room for improvement in Infoblox IPAM is its compatibility and flexibility with IPv6."
"Infoblox IPAM also needs some improvement on its threat engine and RPZ policies, or DNS firewall or DNS policies."
"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 security of Infoblox Network Insight [EOL] could improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"The price of the solution is reasonable compared to competitors, such as Akamai."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 license cost for the solution is based on the number of users that use it. The overall price is not expensive."
