Obsolix and the World's Leading DNS Security Products
At the same table, by the same criteria.
Palo Alto Networks, Cisco, Infoblox and Cloudflare offer proven, powerful DNS security products worldwide. Obsolix does the same job against the same threats: it monitors DNS traffic, detects malicious domains, blocks them and reports on them. The difference is where the work is done.
Most global products run their analysis in the vendor's cloud, and your DNS logs go to that cloud. Obsolix performs all analysis on your organization's own servers, with a platform developed and supported in Türkiye. For organizations whose data must not leave the premises, this is not a preference but a requirement.
Feature-by-Feature Comparison
Where is the analysis done, where do the logs go, does it run on an air-gapped network?

Domestic Software, Concrete Advantage
Price advantage in public tenders
The price advantage provided for domestic software products in Turkish public procurement applies to Obsolix.
Compliance by design
Regulations restricting public data in the cloud and the cross-border transfer provisions of KVKK are not an obstacle for Obsolix but a design principle.
Direct access to the developers
Support, customization and feature requests go to the engineering team in Ankara, not to an intermediary.
When Is Obsolix the Right Choice?
- If your data must not leave your organization (public sector, finance, defense, healthcare)
- If you operate an air-gapped network
- If you have branch offices
- If you want a DNS layer independent of your firewall brand
- If a Turkish interface and on-site support matter to you
- If 24/7 technical support matters to you
Obsolix works alongside your existing firewall and forwards its decisions to your SIEM. It stops the same threats as global products, inside your organization.
Frequently Asked Comparison Questions
Why Obsolix when products like Palo Alto and Cisco Umbrella exist?
These products are strong, and Obsolix does the same job against the same threats. The difference is where the work is done. Global products run their analysis in the vendor's cloud, and your DNS logs go there. Obsolix performs all analysis on your organization's servers, provides full protection on air-gapped networks, works with national threat intelligence and is independent of your firewall brand. For organizations whose data must stay in-house, that is the deciding factor.
Does Obsolix replace my existing firewall?
No. Obsolix works alongside your existing firewall, requires no changes to your DNS servers and forwards its decisions to your SIEM. Whatever your firewall brand, it protects the DNS layer inside your organization.
Does running in-house mean compromising on detection?
No. Obsolix detects threats such as DGA, DNS tunneling, NXDOMAIN floods, fast-flux and brand impersonation in real time, inside your organization. Only threat intelligence updates come from outside; analysis and logs stay in-house. Because AI decisions are explainable, you can see why each query was blocked.
What concrete benefit does a domestic product bring?
A domestic software price advantage in Turkish public tenders, direct alignment with KVKK and public information security regulations, and a Turkish interface and support. Customization and feature requests also reach the developer team in Ankara directly.
