**What do you like best about BlueCat Edge?**

It's a solution intended to block request DNS before establish an HTTP connection wich impove the security over the network, I like that it can manage my internal and External DNS requests and at the same time protect my business

**What do you dislike about BlueCat Edge?**

I would like to see options to implement a cloud DNS protection for my services something like Cloudflare, I undesrtand that is a different solution but that would be great to see.

**What problems is BlueCat Edge solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It's managing our internal and external DNS resolution in order to protect our network, it blocks all DNS resolution to treath web sites like malware, rasonware etc. We love to think that it's like a DNS proxy for internal requests.
