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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution includes automatic management of segments."
"The most valuable aspect is its user-friendly interface. It is straightforward to use."
"The solution is scalable in multiple ways."
"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."
"It's a critical infrastructure piece. This is where all the IPs are named for the whole organization. It's a big deal. It has all the features related to DNS and DHCP. It's pretty amazing."
"Adaptive DNS's best feature is DDoS protection, which stops malware and network security attacks."
"DNS aliases, which we use extensively in our applications are a valuable feature."
"I've been impressed by BlueCat's performance and user-friendly GUI."
"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpUtils is the ease of use. Additionally, the IP address and port switch management, and twenty more tools for discovering networks and administrative management for Cisco devices are beneficial."
 

Cons

"BlueCat Integrity can improve by increasing the amount of updates it releases."
"The UI is outdated and needs a modern refresh."
"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."
"XHA has some very unusual requirements. If you're running just two BlueCat appliances for a given area of responsibility, then in VMware, if they land on the same VM host, you can run into challenges with XHA, which we are learning."
"One crucial area for development is IPv6 support."
"Unfortunately, BlueCat Integrity doesn't support bulk Content Security Policy configuration."
"One complaint about the interface is BlueCat's handling of subzones."
"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."
"ManageEngine OpUtils could improve by offering a cloud version of the solution. It is important to have cloud solutions. It is important to have someone with network knowledge to use the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am not sure about the exact pricing, but I believe their cost is lower compared to Infoblox."
"Compared to other solutions, BlueCat Integrity offers a competitive price."
"BlueCat Integrity is affordable."
"Overall, I would say that it is priced fairly, though perhaps a bit on the high side."
"Our licensing model with BlueCat Integrity is cheaper than Infoblox."
"While BlueCat falls on the expensive side, its exceptional customer service and consistent quality justify the cost."
"We paid around $5,000 per year for SolarWinds, and now we pay around $20,000 per year for BlueCat, but we have less downtime and fewer issues with DNS and DHCP."
"BlueCat Integrity meets our expectations and aligns with our budget forecast."
"The price of ManageEngine OpUtils is inexpensive. The pricing model they use is billed for the number of IP addresses or hardware you use."
