Have built secure, automated DNS pipelines and simplified cloud DNS management through integration
I would like to see a bunch of templated or policy-driven provisioning for DNSSEC in the next release of Infoblox BloxOne DDI. Additionally, I would like to see DNS hosting so you do not have to deploy the NIOS appliances yourself or manage another cloud DNS service. This would allow you to pare back your DNS registration and hosting to just registrar services. That way, you would have a fully integrated, vertically integrated API stack for being able to affect all of your automated changes against your actual public authorities as well rather than just your internal resolvers and authorities. I think that would be something quite cool for them to have.

From a DNS perspective, Infoblox DDI is a good solution for DNS security and DNS resolution.

For stability of Infoblox DDI, I would rate it eight out of ten. Infoblox DDI is a stable solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In my experience, I am satisfied with the functionality; there is no lack of functions, and it is a very powerful solution because they work with this technology, so they are probably number one."
"The overall product rating is ten out of ten."
"When we compare, if we spend 200,000 to 250,000 every year or every second year on security compliance, that is money we could transfer into the licensing for a SaaS service such as Infoblox BloxOne DDI, then we get all of the continuous patching, threat analysis, and that type of capability coming through without having to maintain such skilled staff."
"A valuable feature is blocking domain generation, which automatically generates domains to protect the internal network."
"The most valuable features of Infoblox BloxOne DDI are its ability to manage all DDI services effectively and monitor them in real-time."
"It actually prevents a lot of false alarms because if a link is blocked by antivirus, it creates an alert for the IT risk team to investigate. By not resolving the IP for a malicious link, it stops many issues before they escalate. This has improved our security posture significantly."
"Infoblox is a proactive DNS system that enhances organizational security by blocking and triggering alerts for malicious or suspicious URLs."
"It offers an easy initial setup."
"Infoblox DDI is capable of fulfilling customer requirements from a DNS security, DHCP, and IPAM perspective."
"The most valuable feature of Infoblox DDI is its IP Address Management (IPAM) tool. This tool allows for the effective management of IP addresses and provides the capability to detect duplicates, hence its moniker "discovery." Another feature that I find particularly useful is the integration of DNS, which can be seamlessly integrated with your existing primary DNS server, making the overall experience much more seamless and efficient."
"Infoblox DDI prioritizes DNS security, which is crucial for the security department."
"The DDI solution is valuable for its ability to integrate DHCP, DNS security, and IP address management, along with threat intelligence into one platform."
"The UI is quite user-friendly and the support is available 24/7."
"Infoblox is a proactive DNS system that enhances organizational security by blocking and triggering alerts for malicious or suspicious URLs."
 

Cons

"Infoblox is fairly expensive for my customers. I am unsure if this is a general comment or specific to my situation."
"At this stage, we are struggling to use some of the DNS features of the platform, which are more about protecting your domain from hijacking and similar threats."
"There is a need for a comprehensive database on DNS."
"Infoblox BloxOne DDI is good to use, but there could be improvements in its visualization and dashboarding UI."
"There are probably some strict agreements, and the answers are probably not so rapid. The responsiveness could at least be improved, but I have not had many cases, just a few."
"Infoblox BloxOne DDI would not be for smaller companies. I think if you are under 1,200 staff, you probably want to look for a professional service or something that is integrated into the platforms you have already got."
"Infoblox encounters some glitches, making it not entirely super stable."
"The pricing is quite expensive, which is why I recommend it for medium and large enterprises and not for small businesses."
"The solution is expensive."
"The recategorization part takes longer with Infoblox DDI compared to other companies like Symantec, Zscaler, and Palo Alto."
"Every vendor or organization cannot purchase Infoblox DDI because of some license issues."
"There are some bugs and glitches that need attention."
"In terms of improvement, the commercial pricing could be reduced to attract more small customers. Currently, it is cost-effective mainly for larger enterprises."
"Currently, it is cost-effective mainly for larger enterprises."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license of the solution is expensive, not including the hardware."
"I would say the pricing falls between average and expensive. It's not a cheap product."
"Infoblox's subscription includes support."
"Infoblox DDI is an expensive product."
