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

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

"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."

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

"BlueCat Integrity provides us with flexibility and visibility that we did not have before."

"The solution is scalable in multiple ways."

"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."

"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."

"The most valuable aspect is its user-friendly interface. It is straightforward to use."

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

"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."

"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."

"During our testing phase, we encountered some issues with Active Directory and DNS reverse lookups."

"The integration has room for improvement."

"BlueCat Integrity can improve by increasing the amount of updates it releases."

"Unfortunately, BlueCat Integrity doesn't support bulk Content Security Policy configuration."

"Adaptive DNS only supports AWS for network automation and cloud computing and would be improved if it also supported other options like Azure or Google Cloud."

"Usability needs to be better."

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 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."

"BlueCat Integrity's pricing is reasonable within the market."

"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."

"Overall, I would say that it is priced fairly, though perhaps a bit on the high side."

"BlueCat Integrity meets our expectations and aligns with our budget forecast."

"Adaptive DNS's price depends on your network ranges, the services you want, and the level of support you require."

"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."

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."
