Considered Both Products	Infoblox DDI (BloxOne) Mohammed Younus Siddiqui Network Security Engineer Chose Infoblox DDI (BloxOne) Cisco umbrella only does DNS and not IP Management. Moreover, it's DNS is cloud based and requires a local dns resolver. So it makes no sense in having only cisco umbrella without infoblox. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Infoblox DDI (BloxOne) Infoblox DDI supports services across hybrid platforms and the capability to switch from appliances to VMs has added to the mobility of the applications.

Verified User Anonymous Chose Infoblox DDI (BloxOne) We previously used Microsoft DHCP. Infoblox DDI is head and shoulders better than Microsoft for DHCP and IPAM. Its is much more robust, easy to use, and reliable. The added features of DNS and TFTP are a bonus for what we are doing. It can easily be expanded for multiple … Incentivized Helpful? DT David Thornton, CISSP Security Engineering Manager Chose Infoblox DDI (BloxOne) We have mostly used Microsoft and QIP (several years ago), and of course BIND. QIP is the most comparable tool, and, while good, Infoblox is a much better product. Microsoft DNS/DHCP server is basic, and it is free. It works, but forget truly using it as a management tool. … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Infoblox DDI (BloxOne) Between Solarwinds IPAM and Infoblox, I'd still choose Infoblox even if Solarwinds is prettier to look at.

	Infoblox DDI (BloxOne)	phpIPAM
Likelihood to Recommend	Infoblox DDI is an excellent alternative for Microsoft DHCP. It is a much more robust solution. It can also do DNS for your entire environment. However, if you are an AD environment, you will still need Microsoft DNS servers. The IPAM functionality is excellent for keeping track of your IP addresses. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	phpIPAM is great for a team environment and complex network environments so all members are informed. It's not very user-friendly for administrators to maintain; a IT individual with Linux OS experience is needed in my opinion.

Usability	It's generally easy to navigate through all of the menus. It's also very powerful in that there are many options available for configuration, allowing one to take advantage of IP address management tools. This tool is definitely a leader in the space, and provided you have the budget, is a very good investment. The team that uses it will appreciate the tool.

Alternatives Considered	Infoblox DDI supports services across hybrid platforms and the capability to switch from appliances to VMs has added to the mobility of the applications. Setting up two grids(Internal and external) helps manage and segment the network in scopes of DNS and DHCP and apply firewall security policies over our external caching grid members.

Return on Investment	It has lowered the administrative burden on the network team. It has allowed us to provide IP address reports and given us another source for asset management validation. It reduces risk by centrally managing IP networks. Incentivized DT David Thornton, CISSP Security Engineering Manager Read full review	Software is free so ROI is immediate phpIPAM is easy to use and enter information Installing phpIPAM is pretty difficult and requires Linux OS knowledge. There are minimal requirements to access phpIPAM interface. Takes a while to get phpIPAM setup and populated with detailed information.
