System Engineer at a aerospace/defense firm with 501-1,000 employees

Easy to use, simple licensing, and has a single pane of glass view

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 API aspect could be improved with more use cases and better handling of object attributes. It is already better than in previous versions. Their product team is planning further improvements in the upcoming version 9.6. Last month, we had a roadmap meeting with the BlueCat product team. There will be a lot of improvements in version 9.6 coming in the second half of 2025. We will then upgrade our system to that one. It will have quite a lot of new features.

Stands out in manageability with one console for DHCP and DNS

The manageability is a standout feature. I have one console for DHCP and DNS. It allows me to easily make changes, especially in the IPAM module. I can easily make reservations in the HEP and change reservations, which is not possible with Microsoft management. The management console of Microsoft did not give good management options. We now have one console. We can also see which IP addresses were given in the past. It is more convenient. I could learn it very fast. I did not have any training. We did a PoC with BlueCat, and during the PoC, I learned the things I needed.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We started seeing the benefits of Micetro immediately because as we started using it, we didn't have to go back to the Excel sheets that we were earlier following and then updating as we moved along."

"This inherent stability, derived from its Linux-based architecture, provides a well-established and reliable platform."

"Since implementing BlueCat, we have experienced fewer problems, anomalies, and strange issues."

"BlueCat Integrity's scalability and user-friendliness are the most valuable features."

"The most valuable features are scalability and cloud infrastructure."

"Managing our BDI infrastructure globally is simple, and BlueCat's personalized relationship with us is valuable to our organization."

"DNS aliases, which we use extensively in our applications are a valuable feature."

"One of the key features enabling us to operate at our current scale is robust automation."

More BlueCat Integrity pros

"The manageability is a standout feature. I have one console for DHCP and DNS."

"The most valuable feature is IP address management which automatically updates a central database by leveraging DNS."

Cons

"When you replace an appliance, there are many configuration steps, so adding zero-touch provisioning would be helpful. It can be quite tedious and time-consuming to replace a device if it fails or deploy a new one."

"Usability needs to be better."

"While the product is IPAM, DNS, and DHCP, it does provide NTP functionality, but one of the things that they have yet to correct or catch up with is NTP authentication. There are new standards being pushed out and they are lagging a little bit in supporting them."

"The integration has room for improvement."

"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."

"The DNS and DHCP servers for guests are separated from the main organization. A lot of times, it doesn't allow you to choose a default IP space. When I log in to the GUI, it doesn't default to where I want it to be. So far, I haven't been able to find out how to change or specify that so that it defaults to a particular space, such as the main org. If I'm looking for the IP space for guests, I need to toggle and go to the guest site. Most of the time, I want the IP space for the org to be my main space, but it doesn't give me the ability to do that, or I haven't been able to find that over the last two years."

"One crucial area for development is IPv6 support."

More BlueCat Integrity cons

"We initially purchased professional services from Micetro, but they didn't reach out to us until after we had already set up and been using the application for several weeks."

"In the web version, I cannot change the IP addresses in the reservation, whereas in the app version, I can. It is a feature I would like to see available in the web version."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"BlueCat Integrity is more cost-effective than Infoblox."

"BlueCat Integrity is a little expensive, but it's worth the price because it offers the flexibility and features we need in our space. We have more than 25,000 employees, and it makes sense for a network of our size. It's required for us to be compliant in the defense industry. Given the restrictions we face, we must be able to easily show that we've complied with all the regulations."

"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 is affordable."

"Compared to other solutions, BlueCat Integrity offers a competitive price."

"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."

"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."

More BlueCat Integrity pricing and cost advice

"Micetro's renewal price was in line with expectations, increasing slightly from last year but not significantly more than the typical year-over-year price increases we see across the market."

"As a school, we received a special price. It is more expensive after being taken over by BlueCat but not prohibitively so. The product simplifies life, and the license is not very pricey."
