Infoblox NIOS has positively impacted my organization in several ways, as automation using PowerShell and CSV scripts saved significant time and reduced errors, while a central policy for DNS and DHCP changes enhanced operational reliability, sped up delivery times, and maintained high data quality by minimizing discrepancies between spreadsheets and tools.

I think the cost can be justified because it drastically reduced our incidents; we did not have any DNS-related incidents in three years supporting the traffic flow for about 10 million people, being part of a big network infrastructure as an ISP company in our country, so having no incidents in those three years is a strong metric.

One improvement for Infoblox NIOS is the cost, especially when dealing with the physical device, as it is expensive.
