Centralized DDI management has transformed our hospitals and now cuts manual effort to a minimum
There is not much to dislike about it. It is not a Microsoft product. It is based on Linux. I am a Microsoft guy learning to run these Linux environments. So there is a little bit of a learning curve there if you are not already a native or natural Linux user. We do have to patch our environments, probably quarterly, with hot fixes or updates that we have to apply. Updates and maintenance and applying them could be improved. Unfortunately, we can only do them one at a time. We have to follow them sequentially. We cannot do them all in mass. That does become a problem for us, especially if we have a zero-day threat that is sitting out there that is live. If I cannot update my environment within moments, then I am challenged. In order to update this environment with 150 plus devices, I have to go through one at a time. That can take us several days to be able to patch. Our API is the only automation capability. Our networking team who provisions our new networks as we build a new environment or a new site or we acquire a new organization handles a lot of that through automation via API. They provision and build up the permissions and rights and access model for each new network and sub-network. We are considering and trying to determine if we need to get even more automated and whether or not we need to leverage more API capability. We are building a team of automation engineers, and they are looking around and digging to find something to work on. We could do some more automation, but what would we do? We still have not figured out what else we would do. For my team that runs the actual BlueCat Integrity environment, we do not use API automation. Our networking team who provisions and builds the new networks handles that via API. We have thought about going through more in-depth automation, but we cannot find a good use case for it in terms of what level of engagement we want to take with it and how dedicated we want to be to become a development shop. That is still on the wings and we are trying to figure out if this is something that we can handle, or do we continually have to rely upon an external developer. BlueCat Integrity does not develop for us. They have a certain level of liability that they will not accept when it comes to automation and scripting through their API. They say they will guide us, but they will not do it for us.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"BlueCat Integrity performed a very good job in meeting the hybrid environment requirements and met my expectations."
"BlueCat Integrity provides peace of mind as it is reliable and easy to use, making it an excellent tool for any organization's security and IT teams."
"Adaptive DNS's best feature is DDoS protection, which stops malware and network security attacks."
"BlueCat's approach to customer relationships has definitely influenced my experience with their services positively, as communication was better, and we had everything in place."
"This inherent stability, derived from its Linux-based architecture, provides a well-established and reliable platform."
"The most valuable piece, which has been a lifesaver, would be the BlueCat DNS resolver. BlueCat Cloud DNS resolver is a tool that takes a look into your cloud's DNS and then reports back everything it finds into BlueCat's DNS Edge solution. The Edge solution has a bunch of nice rules that you can configure to route the DNS traffic. That automation alone is a lifesaver for me for the day-to-day churn of the DNS components that change on an hourly, daily basis."
"BlueCat Integrity has helped our organization reduce downtime, as if we had gone for the manual or older Microsoft services, we would have definitely faced a lot of downtime; now it's almost zero downtime."
"It is easy to use. It has an understandable GUI interface. Its deployment is relatively easy."
"The most valuable feature of Infoblox Network Insight [EOL] is the information it provides about networks."
 

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."
"The user interface could be improved, as the implementation of BlueCat can be complicated and requires personnel with expertise in DNS, DHCP, and IP management."
"Some areas need improvement, especially the issue with stale entries in the BlueCat tenancy. I have heard that it is already fixed in BlueCat Integrity 10. I have not used that yet."
"BlueCat Integrity is stable, although it does have issues with the XHA which is not as mature as I had expected."
"Unfortunately, BlueCat Integrity doesn't support bulk Content Security Policy configuration."
"BlueCat Integrity can improve by increasing the amount of updates it releases."
"I would say the simplicity of the UI sometimes is also its downfall."
"The IPAM dashboard could be enhanced to display more information and provide data analysis features."
"The security of Infoblox Network Insight [EOL] could improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"While BlueCat falls on the expensive side, its exceptional customer service and consistent quality justify the cost."
"Adaptive DNS's price depends on your network ranges, the services you want, and the level of support you require."
"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 more cost-effective than Infoblox."
"BlueCat Integrity meets our expectations and aligns with our budget forecast."
"They're competitive. The way they run their model is good. Could it stand some tweaking? Sure. There are some items there. One of the things I looked at in the recent past was their container solutions. You have to pay for licensing to use their containerized platform, but the licensing doesn't include the container licensing itself. I'd love to be able to have one big package per se."
"BlueCat Integrity's pricing is reasonable within the market."
"Our licensing model with BlueCat Integrity is cheaper than Infoblox."
"The license cost for the solution is based on the number of users that use it. The overall price is not expensive."
