Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection Reviews

My primary use case for Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection is for DNS protection and DNS security, especially in the context of internal and external positioning. The main case is Internet security, as well as using DNS solutions for network DDI.

The ability to migrate from or replace Microsoft servers for DNS is crucial. The security features, particularly for big customers, and the functionality of the DNS firewalling are very valuable. 

Additionally, Infoblox's render scalability and technical support for the DNAT firewalling adaptation are seen as top benefits.

Infoblox needs to adapt its protection to better cover enterprises, particularly in the context of pricing when compared to competitors like Cloudflare. 

Additionally, there is a need for clearer solutions for mid-sized and small customers, oftentimes Infoblox's pricing is not competitive.

I have been working with Infoblox DNS protection for around three years as a retail support person.

Most implementations are stable. Even when there are performance issues, such as hardware problems, Infoblox provides strong support to resolve the issue promptly, without delays.

Infoblox is very scalable. Despite some compatibility limits between new hardware or versions, the scalability provided by Infoblox is satisfactory. I work on scalability frequently within the year with our customers.

Infoblox technical support is excellent, with good experiences and strong historical support. I have had positive experiences with the professional service, project managers, and technical teams.

Neutral

I have used other DNS protection solutions such as Cisco Umbrella. I face challenges with pricing when compared to competitors like Cloudflare.

The setup process involves no significant issues for implementations such as DDI. However, some services needed for big customers require more intricate fine-tuning and professional services.

I often ask for Infoblox's vendor support for fine-tuning some configurations for larger customers, but otherwise, there is no challenge in implementation.

The ROI with Infoblox is very efficient for opportunities like replacing other vendors and providing advantageous points. I actively leverage ROI discussions with top management.

The main challenge with pricing is competing with vendors like Cloudflare, which often have an advantage in costs.

I evaluated solutions from Cloudflare and other vendors and I faced challenges specifically with pricing.

For users not already working with Infoblox, it is advisable to present it as a centralized integrated solution to handle DNS IPAM. Not all customers understand DNS security threats, so emphasizing its importance is crucial. On a scale of one to ten, I rate Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection as ten for the overall solution.

We have deployed Infoblox DNS Protection in various government sectors, and we are working with potential accounts in the BFSI segment. Our customers primarily use Infoblox DNS Protection in sectors like the national revenue board, which is involved in taxation and revenue departments.

The solution has helped our customers by enabling them to manage thousands of IPs efficiently through a single GUI. This offers great advantages in handling Windows environments, system centers, and everything within a single window.

Infoblox DNS Protection provides complete DDI solutions, allowing customers to easily manage their IP addresses and integrate them with DNSSEC and DSCP. Although the tool's threat intelligence capabilities are complex to configure, once set up, they offer substantial benefits. Additionally, the system's ability to manage large volumes of IPs through a single interface is highly advantageous for our customers.

Infoblox DNS is much more expensive than DNSSEC, which is offered by other vendors. Customers should consider the cost of DNSSEC since it is a significant factor. The configuration process can be complex, which may be an area for potential improvement in terms of user-friendliness.

Our company has worked with Infoblox DNS Protection for two years. Personally, I have been using it for the last five years.

Infoblox DNS is quite stable. We haven't faced any failures post-implementation, and we haven't received any calls for troubleshooting or protection issues.

Scalability is well-supported in Infoblox DNS due to the availability of both hardware and virtual options. Customers can scale out as required within a virtual environment. On a scale from one to ten, I would rate scalability as nine.

Customer support is efficient, with Infoblox providing 24/7fast support. Our support team handles any physical requirement from customers.

Positive

The initial setup is average in difficulty. Configuring DDI involves setting up EACB, DNSSEC, and IP address management. If we were to rate this setup effort on a scale from one to ten, it would be around seven or eight.

The implementation of Infoblox DNS allows customers to reduce operational costs by managing multiple functionalities in one window, thereby reducing the need for multiple resources.

The solution is expensive, especially when considering DNSSEC. Licensing costs can vary depending on the number of users, sometimes costing around a hundred to one hundred fifty dollars per user.

Customers should consider migrating from static IPs to dynamic setups and implementing DDI solutions instead of focusing solely on DNSSEC. This transition will improve visibility and resource management within their environments.

The main use case for Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection would be DNS spoofing. I use Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection by enabling ADP policies, which can be updated from day-to-day incidents to prevent DNS spoofing.

Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection has advanced features like DHCP and IPAM. In an organization, I can utilize the DHCP IPAM feature to have user-based access related to that, allowing me to assign any particular IPs to a single user.

Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection has positively impacted my organization with its security features, such as ADP policies, which prevent inter-hacking of the URLs or the domains. The specific outcomes my organization has seen because of these security features include a really quick query time.

Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection can be improved by having more customer support.

Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection is good on both internal and public servers. My organization was hosting servers on-premises then, so the local IP address was mapped to the domain names created in Infoblox, then mapped outside, with the hardware mounted on-premises. My company hosted web applications from the data center, and Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection was a big help.

I like that Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection is one hundred percent good, performance-wise.

Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection could be more user-friendly because you need knowledge if you want to use it. To handle the solution, you need to be a subject matter expert, so I'd consider this one area for improvement in Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection.

What I want to see from the solution in its next release is a certification program that benefits people who buy it, for example, giving certifications that focus on  DNS, mainly as Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection is used across the globe.
