Centralized DNS tracking has improved incident response and simplifies security investigations
The best feature Infoblox IPAM offers is the ease of having everything in one place. Having everything in one place with Infoblox IPAM, such as networks, records, CNAMEs, DNS, and other elements, is easy to manage from a single platform instead of having to log into different vendors. The DHCP monitoring feature stands out as well.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"From a security engineer's perspective, Infoblox DNS security is the best in the industry."
"This is a DDI solution and having one management control has been most useful."
"My advice to anyone interested in Infoblox IPAM is to use it; if you compare it with other tools, it may be a bit higher in cost, but if you're looking for a centralized data structure and user-friendly environment, Infoblox IPAM is the best solution for your requirements."
"Having everything in one place with Infoblox IPAM, such as networks, records, CNAMEs, DNS, and other elements, is easy to manage from a single platform instead of having to log into different vendors."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution has been DNS security. It has a solid foundation for building DNS, DHCP, and Advanced Threat Prevention."
"Infoblox IPAM provides visibility into what's on your network and helps fingerprint devices based on the OS, manufacturer, and other things along those lines."
"Based on my experience of using Infoblox, it is a stable product."
"The graphical user interface is very user-friendly and simple to use. It is very simple to use if you have never used it before."
"The most valuable feature of Infoblox Network Insight [EOL] is the information it provides about networks."
 

Cons

"The marketing of the solution could improve to give customers the awareness of the benefits."
"The solution is not easy to use; the GUI and CLI are challenging to use, limiting end-user capability."
"An area for improvement is IPAM's smart folders, which can be slow to access and would benefit from a search feature."
"Infoblox IPAM could improve some of the features. The market is demanding for some features that are not there, but there is always a reason why it's not there. At the moment, the solution is rather complete for what it's used for. It can always extend to solve some other issues that are linked to it, but the solution itself is complete."
"When we do a host entry, it also reflects in the lookup. We should be able to filter that part. If we do only the A and PTR records, we need to reflect only that part in the lookup."
"Infoblox IPAM has improved and is better, but it needs to have an external GSLB functionality. Currently, the solution has a GLSB functionality for internal appliances, but for an external user, that functionality doesn't exist. Infoblox IPAM also needs some improvement on its threat engine and RPZ policies, or DNS firewall or DNS policies. An additional feature I'd like to see in Infoblox IPAM is zero-touch provisioning in terms of the appliances. Currently, there's zero-touch provisioning for cloud-based devices, but for physical appliances in branches, there's none, so you still have to do some configurations. For example, if you have existing DNS infrastructure and you need to set up Infoblox IPAM in new branches, and you need more appliances, you should be able to just plug the solution into the network, and there shouldn't be any manual interference required."
"The scope of our use of this solution is limited to the DDI IPAM solution for Infoblox. This solution could be improved by offering multiple integrations with IPAM which could already exist but we aren't aware of them."
"From an IPAM standpoint, DHCP is an area that needs to be improved."
"The security of Infoblox Network Insight [EOL] could improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Infoblox IPAM is a very expensive solution and it should improve. The solution is subscription-based, and the payments can be monthly or yearly. There are additional costs for more features, and the exact cost depends on the features you're using."
"Infoblox IPAM is a licensed product, and my company pays for it yearly. It depends on the licensing model you choose because right now, the solution can also be subscription-based, specifically the cloud version, but the traditional licensing model for it is one that's paid yearly. The cost would depend on the organization. I know how much my company pays for Infoblox IPAM, but I won't disclose that information. If your company has $10,000,000 or $20,000,000, for example, and you need stability, then I'd say the solution is worth it. If your company is a startup, then the solution may not be worth it, but it would still depend on the ability of your company because Infoblox IPAM is one of the costlier solutions in the market."
"They were expensive. They were known to be expensive. In general, they used to at least try to encourage you to upgrade to hardware every three years. Infoblox had a reputation as being one of the better solutions but also one of the more expensive solutions, whereas VitalQ was definitely a much more affordable solution. With Infoblox, anytime you replace hardware, there would also be the cost of the hardware upgrade. So, besides the software licensing fee, there were also hardware maintenance and hardware upgrade fees. I would rate it a 3 out of 10 in terms of pricing."
"The cost depends on the scale at which we're deploying it. It's an annual subscription that ranges between $1,000 and $2,000."
"I rate Infoblox IPAM’s pricing a seven out of ten, since their price is up there."
"We purchase yearly licenses, and I don't know the exact price as I'm not involved in the finance or sales departments. Infoblox is one of the more expensive products in the DDI environment, so I would say that for organizations looking to combine DNS, DSTP, and IP management with security features, the solution is worth it. However, for organizations only looking for an IP management tool, for example, many more affordable options are available."
"The licensing cost for Infoblox IPAM depends on your usage and also depends on your term plans, for example, you may want it for three months, six months, or only for seven days. I don't remember the exact licensing cost, but it depends on your organization's structure and how many networks you are going to need."
"The price of the solution is reasonable compared to competitors, such as Akamai."
"The license cost for the solution is based on the number of users that use it. The overall price is not expensive."
