User-friendly interface, exceptional support, and enables a lot of time savings
The overall benefit of using BlueCat Integrity is that it allows access to servers and troubleshooting of servers, which is not offered by some of the other market products. When you use BlueCat Integrity, you learn more than VDI. You get hands-on experience with Linux. You get to learn more things when you are using BlueCat Integrity. They also offer exceptional customer service. BlueCat Integrity provides a single-pane-of-glass view of our IP address space. Within this single pane of glass, we can also have multiple views. I can create multiple subblocks and configure them, for example, country-wise. It drastically reduces human error, reducing it by 80% to 85%. BlueCat has helped our organization reduce downtime. We can monitor the online status of services with the help of SNMP. We can use all three SNMP variables, such as SNMPv1, SNMPv2, and SNMPv3. With the help of that, we can monitor server health. It has helped save a huge amount of time in the domain and record creation process. It saves about 90% of our time. BlueCat Integrity has relieved engineers from manual tasks, freeing up time for other projects. It relieves engineers in a huge way. It relieves the DDI engineers from touching the Linux bind servers or DB servers. Using BlueCat Integrity saves a huge amount of time. With that time, we can handle other projects. I use REST APIs. I create scripts, and we have our gateway, so we create our own gateway workflows. We use BlueCat automation to create around four to five thousand objects. It saves about two minutes per object.

Acts as a first line of defense, allows for full utilization of IP addresses in a network and the ability to block unwanted traffic using DNS is powerful
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. However, I don't think it is a problem with the platform itself. It seems to be more of an integration issue with the secondary DNS provider we are trying to use on the Internet, called Cloudflare. So, it is more of an integration problem between Cloudflare DNS and any public DNS. I would like to improve the integration aspect of these two products. The platform should be able to work seamlessly with any other secondary DNS provider on the Internet. If Infoblox can make their licensing cheaper, then this platform could be widely used because it does cost a fortune to have it. That's why we do not have it in every entity that we manage.

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 aspect is its user-friendly interface. It is straightforward to use."
"This inherent stability, derived from its Linux-based architecture, provides a well-established and reliable platform."
"DNS aliases, which we use extensively in our applications are a valuable feature."
"It is easy to use. It has an understandable GUI interface. Its deployment is relatively easy."
"As a defense contractor, we must meet many compliance standards regarding logging, configuration, and administrative access. BlueCat is one of the few products that combines all the compliance components in a secure, reliable solution."
"The most valuable feature is the IPAMs, which provide visibility into all the IP addresses on the network."
"One of the better things about Integrity is that the underlying code it uses is an ISC DNS and DHCP. It's not like some of the other vendors that have created their own version of DNS."
"The most valuable features are scalability and cloud infrastructure."
"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."
"A valuable feature is blocking domain generation, which automatically generates domains to protect the internal network."
"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."
 

Cons

"The solution is too granular and sometimes complex to configure. We do not always need so many details. Simpler configurations with fewer details would be beneficial."
"BlueCat Integrity can improve by increasing the amount of updates it releases."
"The ease of use is where I got to give a little knock on them. Once you start using the tool, it becomes very easy. It's actually quite easy to use. The problem that I run into is documentation. The documentation could be a little bit richer. Documentation has always been a little pet peeve for me with them."
"Usability needs to be better."
"The solution is too granular and sometimes complex to configure. We do not always need so many details. Simpler configurations with fewer details would be beneficial."
"However, it does not offer robust support for high availability failover with different subnets, especially if the servers are located in different data centers and belong to distinct IP networks."
"One crucial area for development is IPv6 support."
"The UI is outdated and needs a modern refresh."
"Infoblox BloxOne DDI is good to use, but there could be improvements in its visualization and dashboarding UI."
"There is a need for a comprehensive database on DNS."
"Infoblox is fairly expensive for my customers. I am unsure if this is a general comment or specific to my situation."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Adaptive DNS's price depends on your network ranges, the services you want, and the level of support you require."
"Compared to other solutions, BlueCat Integrity offers a competitive price."
"Overall, I would say that it is priced fairly, though perhaps a bit on the high side."
"BlueCat Integrity's pricing is reasonable within the market."
"Overall, it's a decent price for the product. There are other vendors that have support models and costs that are, sometimes, double what Bluecat charges."
"BlueCat Integrity is affordable."
"While BlueCat falls on the expensive side, its exceptional customer service and consistent quality justify the cost."
"Our licensing model with BlueCat Integrity is cheaper than Infoblox."
"I would rate the pricing a ten out of ten, with ten being very expensive."
