We performed a comparison between Amazon Route 53 and BlueCat Integrity based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Managed DNS solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Amazon Route 53 is a DNS resolution service that helps you to map your hostname to another hostname."
"The solution offers you the flexibility to control configuration rules."
"It stands out for its user-friendly interface, seamless integration with other AWS services, and ability to efficiently manage DNS, making it a valuable tool for various deployment scenarios, including those involving Kubernetes on AWS."
"The scalability is the most valuable feature."
"Technical support from Amazon is very good...Overall, the product is stable."
"Using Amazon Route 53 is located in a central place in Amazon AWS which makes it easier to manage every DNS entry in one place. You are able to manage your public and private DNS from there. We can create rules based on weight and globalization is impressive."
"The solution effectively monitors the health of resources and provides good identity access management."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"The solution is scalable in multiple ways."
"One of the key features enabling us to operate at our current scale is robust automation."
"DNS aliases, which we use extensively in our applications are a valuable feature."
"Since implementing BlueCat, we have experienced fewer problems, anomalies, and strange issues."
"It's a critical infrastructure piece. This is where all the IPs are named for the whole organization. It's a big deal. It has all the features related to DNS and DHCP. It's pretty amazing."
"The most valuable piece, which has been a lifesaver, would be the BlueCat DNS resolver. BlueCat Cloud DNS resolver is a tool that takes a look into your cloud's DNS and then reports back everything it finds into BlueCat's DNS Edge solution. The Edge solution has a bunch of nice rules that you can configure to route the DNS traffic. That automation alone is a lifesaver for me for the day-to-day churn of the DNS components that change on an hourly, daily basis."
"The most valuable feature is the IPAMs, which provide visibility into all the IP addresses on the network."
"Adaptive DNS's best feature is DDoS protection, which stops malware and network security attacks."
"When you add a new DNS record instructing the solution to map one thing to another, it has to propagate to all the networks, which takes some time."
"Supporting DNS check is one feature missing in the solution."
"The cost calculator for determining the cost of Route 53 is a little bit obscure."
"The solution should have a more user-friendly user interface."
"It is difficult to manage the product if the person involved in the setup process doesn't know much about the solution."
"The product could improve its price."
"The solution’s pricing could be reduced."
"The platform is more complicated to learn than one of its competitors."
"The ease of use is where I got to give a little knock on them. Once you start using the tool, it becomes very easy. It's actually quite easy to use. The problem that I run into is documentation. The documentation could be a little bit richer. Documentation has always been a little pet peeve for me with them."
"While the product is IPAM, DNS, and DHCP, it does provide NTP functionality, but one of the things that they have yet to correct or catch up with is NTP authentication. There are new standards being pushed out and they are lagging a little bit in supporting them."
"The solution does not export reports in a comprehensive format."
"The technical support is slow and has room for improvement."
"However, it does not offer robust support for high availability failover with different subnets, especially if the servers are located in different data centers and belong to distinct IP networks."
"I would like the GUI to be similar to AWS and Azure, where we can simply click on an item to expand it and see all the information on one page, without having to click to the next page."
"Adaptive DNS only supports AWS for network automation and cloud computing and would be improved if it also supported other options like Azure or Google Cloud."
"One complaint about the interface is BlueCat's handling of subzones."
