Overall experience improves efficiency and lowers operational challenges

* Add native management routing (geo‑routing, failover, weighted records) directly within Azure DNS zones to reduce dependency on extra services. * Cost Efficiency: Offer bundle pricing tiers or discounts for high‑volume enterprise customers, or an option for cost‑optimized internal DNS zones. * Improved Error Diagnostics: Provide more descriptive error codes and guided troubleshooting steps in the portal or CLI.

Enterprise Security Architect at a tech services company with 51-200 employees

Have built secure, automated DNS pipelines and simplified cloud DNS management through integration

I would like to see a bunch of templated or policy-driven provisioning for DNSSEC in the next release of Infoblox BloxOne DDI. Additionally, I would like to see DNS hosting so you do not have to deploy the NIOS appliances yourself or manage another cloud DNS service. This would allow you to pare back your DNS registration and hosting to just registrar services. That way, you would have a fully integrated, vertically integrated API stack for being able to affect all of your automated changes against your actual public authorities as well rather than just your internal resolvers and authorities. I think that would be something quite cool for them to have.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Azure DNS is it works automatically after configuration. Additionally, the solution is secure."

"I like the feature where I can add multiple DNS records for the same subdomain."

"Azure DNS provides value beyond its user-friendly interface and easy learning curve."

"One of the key benefits of Azure DNS is its integration with other Azure services. As it is a solution developed by Microsoft, it is easy to integrate with other Azure offerings. Azure DNS also includes Defender for DNS, a feature that protects against anomalies and threats on the DNS. This added security is provided directly by Microsoft. The integration and security features of Azure DNS make it a valuable option for users of the Azure cloud platform."

"What I like about Azure DNS is that it doesn't have any issues and integrates quickly with other products. It has good integration, which is incredible. I also like that whenever you deploy private links and endpoints, Azure DNS gives you the option to select the Azure native DNS, private DNS, or go with the Azure custom DNS. It depends, but if you don't have any dependencies on the DNS, then, like many customers, you won't have DNS issues. Azure DNS is a very good solution that helps you with domains and other resources."

"The DNS resolution is the most valuable feature."

"It is a very stable solution."

"The tool is easy to manage and use."

More Azure DNS pros

"When we compare, if we spend 200,000 to 250,000 every year or every second year on security compliance, that is money we could transfer into the licensing for a SaaS service such as Infoblox BloxOne DDI, then we get all of the continuous patching, threat analysis, and that type of capability coming through without having to maintain such skilled staff."

"It actually prevents a lot of false alarms because if a link is blocked by antivirus, it creates an alert for the IT risk team to investigate. By not resolving the IP for a malicious link, it stops many issues before they escalate. This has improved our security posture significantly."

"In my experience, I am satisfied with the functionality; there is no lack of functions, and it is a very powerful solution because they work with this technology, so they are probably number one."

"A valuable feature is blocking domain generation, which automatically generates domains to protect the internal network."

"The most valuable features of Infoblox BloxOne DDI are its ability to manage all DDI services effectively and monitor them in real-time."

"The overall product rating is ten out of ten."

Cons

"There are some latency issues that could be improved."

"The product must be integrated with additional security features."

"The initial setup of this solution could be less complex and require less manual configurations."

"Azure needs to add domain registration to the DNS service."

"Domain registration is one of the problems. We need to go to application services or web apps to purchase the domain instead. If that were to be equivalent to AWS's Route 53 that would be good. But, it is not as flexible as that."

"The solution’s pricing could be improved."

"The DNSSEC feature is not yet available on the DNS server so it needs to be added."

"The licensing cost should be improved."

More Azure DNS cons

"Infoblox BloxOne DDI would not be for smaller companies. I think if you are under 1,200 staff, you probably want to look for a professional service or something that is integrated into the platforms you have already got."

"Infoblox BloxOne DDI is good to use, but there could be improvements in its visualization and dashboarding UI."

"At this stage, we are struggling to use some of the DNS features of the platform, which are more about protecting your domain from hijacking and similar threats."

"There are probably some strict agreements, and the answers are probably not so rapid. The responsiveness could at least be improved, but I have not had many cases, just a few."

"Infoblox is fairly expensive for my customers. I am unsure if this is a general comment or specific to my situation."

"There is a need for a comprehensive database on DNS."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We use the tool's free version."

"The price is low and it's a reasonable price for that product."

"The solution itself is free but you need to pay for the Microsoft Azure infrastructure and host your domains in Azure to use it."

"The solution's price is reasonable."

"In my opinion, DNS is inexpensive. The pricing depends on how you use it, but overall, it's quite affordable. It typically costs just a fesw cents, and Microsoft even offers ten thousand free hits per month."

"I would describe Azure DNS as a cheaply priced product."

"Azure DNS is a cheap solution, and I rate it a two out of ten for pricing."

"The solution payment model is based on how many users use it. This is not an expensive solution, but it can depend on how long we use it. However, if the price was decreased it would be helpful."

More Azure DNS pricing and cost advice

"I would rate the pricing a ten out of ten, with ten being very expensive."
