The biggest thing for Infoblox to improve isn't so much from a technology perspective. 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 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.
An area for improvement is IPAM's smart folders, which can be slow to access and would benefit from a search feature. In the next release, IPAM should include a separate view for requests and descriptions for tabs.
When we use the forwarders or when we're trying to connect to the internet, sometimes there are issues and the publishing time is longer. We want a robust mechanism so that creating records doesn't take that much time. It currently takes about one hour to duplicate things from our local network to the internet. The security could be enhanced. There should be more detailed encoding so messages cannot be taken by a third party. It's encoded on our side, but we need to make it more complex because there are many sources that are able to decode it. If there is the smallest leak, then it's a beta problem. In the next release, the UI could be improved. I would like to see a simpler version or a customizable UI.
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.

From an IPAM standpoint, DHCP is an area that needs to be improved.
