Infoblox BloxOne Threat Defense furthers the existing security posture rather than replacing or trying to replace any existing products.

The most valuable feature is policy redirecting and security reports.

The most valuable feature is blocklisting. It's good at what I like to describe as the "silly side cases." We have this annoying security architecture that says we must do this, that, and the other, so we try to make it easier on ourselves.

Using the reporting, we can tell that we have gained an extra layer of protection. Just by looking at it, we can see what is being blocked before it even makes it to the firewall. It is definitely working.

Our ability to detect data exfiltration was minimal before Infoblox and the cloud portal was instituted for us. In terms of DNS security as a whole, we had some capability with our firewalls, but this is a lot more specialized because we're sending all of our DNS requests to Infoblox. I'd say we improved 100%.

Customer support is good, but sometimes there is a lack of clarity that the technical assistant team struggles to deliver, leading us to escalate cases for a more in-depth understanding of the tool.

I would rate their customer service or technical support as not always good. You can be fortunate if you meet someone knowledgeable because most people try and get you to a certain point.

Infoblox BloxOne Threat Defense is quite expensive, especially due to the significant increase in the subscription fee after the first year. This unexpected increase was a problem for us.

The initial setup is not a simple "click-click-next" installation. It requires some level of experience .

I have faced quite a few problems in my eight months of experience with the product in GTS, despite it being a relatively short period.

The setup was horrible. About a year ago, Infoblox made us re-enroll all our on-prem DNS servers by a set date to a specific version, or it would stop working. I told my colleague, "Oh, here, we have to upgrade the servers and reconnect them to the CSP." That did not go well at all.

They could work on the UI of their website and make their website more user-friendly.

This is not just Infoblox, this could be any portal provider, cloud provider, sometimes they change the look of the customer-facing options and it's not completely clear why they make the change.
