Principal Architect, System Design /Enterprise-Hybrid Cloud DNS Lead at a healthcare company with 1,001-5,000 employees4.5I leverage BlueCat Gateway for deploying and managing network resources within Azure, appreciating its automation and integration capabilities. However, I'm concerned about data visibility limitations in IPAM and hope future updates will address these issues.
Developer for DDI Team at Cgi Deutschland KG4.5We use BlueCat Gateway for IP and Network Discovery and integrating with a SIEM solution. It's easy to deploy and develop APIs, though dropdown loading speed and discovery probe parameters need improvement. We've had positive support experiences with BlueCat.
