Easy to set up and use, and has a helpful network device inventory function
The vendor needs to do more to promote this product in certain regions, helping it to gain market share in territories where it is not widely adopted. The problem with this vendor is that they are too focused on revenue and sales numbers. If a partner is not able to generate the revenue that they're expecting, they put them on hold until they can generate interest and traction in their region for the products. It comes down to the management's mindset. They have a good product but they don't have much patience for a territory that is slow to adopt.

Replaces internal DNS servers effectively with strong support for network security
For users not already working with Infoblox, it is advisable to present it as a centralized integrated solution to handle DNS IPAM. Not all customers understand DNS security threats, so emphasizing its importance is crucial. On a scale of one to ten, I rate Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection as ten for the overall solution.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"This product is very stable. The entire Amazon Web Service, AWS, is powered by EfficientIP."
"This product has an inventory function to help maintain a list of the equipment, which is quite good."
"The most valuable feature of Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection is its performance and visibility."
"Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection has positively impacted my organization with its security features, such as ADP policies, which prevent inter-hacking of the URLs or the domains."
"Infoblox Secure DNS helped us protect our internal environment by mitigating and stopping attacks through the Internet using DNS protocols and queries."
"Centralized management of DNS, DHCP, and IPAM helped us a lot in simplifying and automating the management of network and services."
"Infoblox DNS is quite stable. We haven't faced any failures post-implementation, and we haven't received any calls for troubleshooting or protection issues."
"I rate Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection as ten for the overall solution."
"The solution's user interface is very smooth compared to other products."

Cons

"The vendor needs to do more to promote this product in certain regions, helping it to gain market share in territories where it is not widely adopted."
"Infoblox needs to adapt its protection to better cover enterprises, particularly in the context of pricing when compared to competitors like Cloudflare."
"Infoblox lacks an extensive product portfolio."
"There is a steep learning curve to be able to use Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection well."
"Support with Infoblox is a nightmare. This is their weakest point."
"They should release frequent updates for its on-premises version."
"They are not supporting high query logging. They have a very limited size for the syslog, so they are usually asking for external storage, external network, and integration in order to keep the syslog. If you are considering the high volume traffic of the carrier-grade, then the syslog will hold for around five to 10 minutes. This is not enough time and it is being rotated. This is the main issue and the main limitation that we face with them that they need to work on."
"The portal for technical knowledge for Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection needs improvement. It is not very rich and could use enhancement."
"The solution's logging could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of this product is very reasonable, especially considering that a company's reputation is priceless."
"I am not sure about the price of the solution, but I heard it is expensive."
"The price of Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection could be reduced, it is expensive."
"Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection is a little more expensive than other vendors."
"There are no additional costs to the standard licensing price of the solution."
"The solution is expensive."
