Infoblox Network Insight, a key value-added service of the Infoblox DDI (DNS, DHCP and IPAM) product suite, brings unprecedented visibility to the network infrastructure and enables integrated workflows. It improves visibility and operational efficiencies, resulting in better resource utilization and lower operational costs. This AMI is for NIOS 8.x versions.
Overview
Infobox Network Insight automates network discovery and provides a unified network view of layer 2 to layer 3 devices connected to the network such as routers, switches, load balancers, SDN and SD-WAN devices, virtual devices etc. Built on Infoblox flagship solution NIOS DDI, Network Insight enables authoritative IP address management with enhanced visibility. It enables network administrators to easily gather, correlate, and view network data to increase agility, reduce risk and lower cost. Thus, it provides unprecedented on-prem network visibility for network management, eliminates conflicts and outages, improves operational efficiency and silos with streamlined workflows, and simplifies audit and compliance. With NIOS 8.6.3 onwards, Network Insight network discovery appliances are available to be deployed in Amazon Web Services (AWS) supporting cloud-first initiatives, data center to cloud migrations and reduction of physical data center resources. It helps to improve user experience, control and flexibility.
Highlights
- Auto-discovery of network: Network Insight automates the gathering of information on all layer-2 and layer-3 devices and provides comprehensive network visibility into infrastructure data, interface data and virtualization data. Comprehensive switch-port data enables port resource management and delivers critical uptime and response requirement.
- Streamlined workflows: Network Insight provides a single user interface to simplify a wide variety of network management tasks including discovery, port control and permission requests for managing core network services. Template-driven and automated, multi-step processes ensure accuracy and improve efficiency.
- Authoritative network database: Network Insight provides a single interface for viewing protocol, network infrastructure (layer-2 and layer-3 devices), end host, connectivity, switch-port and all related IP data that empowers IT. Reduce mean time to repair (MTTR), exclude the network as a root cause for issues and confidently automate processes.

What do you like best about the product?
NIOS is one of the solutions provided by Infoblox for core network services such as DNS, DHCP and IPAM services. It is a consolidated service managed as one in a single platform. Infoblox NIOS provides visibility across your network by consolidating data from DNS and DHCP services and eventually forming what they called the "single source of truth." which is the IPAM. It is easy to use in management since all configurations must be done on a single platform, even without direct access to appliances distributed across the network.
What do you dislike about the product?
Even though Infoblox provides robust DDI services and in terms of functionality, they are much farther from their competitor. The drawback here is how they price their product. The cost of their solution is directly proportional to their development. We are having difficulty positioning their product because of the higher cost. Sometimes, we prefer to offer another solution that can comply with clients' budgets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In today's network, most solutions reside on the cloud. If not started with the cloud, they are slowly migrating to the cloud because of cost issues and the benefits of having a solution in the cloud. Most clients are also moving to the cloud and planning on getting services through the cloud. Infoblox is currently solving this one on how they can provide the client's needs. Because this Infoblox NIOS is an on-prem solution, they are now offering the first cloud-based management of DDI. With the help of this, we have our chance now to position this kind of solution.
