I have not worked with the cloud platform yet, so I am not sure about that. I have just started to work here, so I am not that capable of saying, but I have not felt anything that needs an improvement. I feel the product is very reliable, and I think the cost may be a bit high, but apart from that, I have no suggestions or feedback for any improvement. Infoblox NIOS is superior in that it is easy to handle. In BlueCat, for an upgrade, we most probably trust the CLI. We have faced some issues when I was working with DDI, but that has not been observed when I started to work on Infoblox NIOS. The cost is quite a difference because we could see that the cost is much higher in Infoblox compared to BlueCat. There are advantages and disadvantages for both.
Infoblox NIOS does not have a need for great improvement; it is a very robust and self-sufficient tool out of the box, offering most of the features which a customer would need. Most of the customization we would need in our environment are built-in, so there is not much need for improvement other than handling the bugs.Sometimes we face API limitations, and some developers feel that the API documentation and certain basic functionalities could be improved.

In a world where everything is simplified and simplification becomes a buzzword, Infoblox NIOS has some work to do regarding making the deployment process less tricky and less complicated. Whether deployment is complex or straightforward depends on the customer; it can vary based on individual circumstances. Deployment and use of Infoblox NIOS can be quite complex in some respects. Integration is not simple regarding how easily Infoblox NIOS integrates with other third-party tools.

One improvement for Infoblox NIOS is the cost, especially when dealing with the physical device, as it is expensive. Secondly, when we do upgrades, we don't have control over the length of time it takes. Overall, it is pretty decent, and they are pretty good with what they offer right now.

Infoblox NIOS can be improved because there is always a scope of improvement in everything. I would recommend UI simplicity. The UI is powerful, actually, but it feels heavy for new users. A more modern and task-oriented interface would reduce the onboarding time. Advanced features such as grid extensibility and APIs require solid training. Better guided workflows and in-product tips would help teams adopt faster. Reporting and dashboard are very interactive, but I think the built-in reports are functional but basic. More customizable visual dashboards would help managers and NOCs quickly see trends. The licensing clarity feels a bit complex. If the packaging were clearer and there was easier visibility of the feature uses, it would help with planning and cost control. I feel that if there could be any feature related to role-based self-service portals integrated for non-network teams, that would help in reducing the dependency on the network team for other teams. That would help in collaborating better.
