Overall experience improves efficiency and lowers operational challenges
* Add native management routing (geo‑routing, failover, weighted records) directly within Azure DNS zones to reduce dependency on extra services. * Cost Efficiency: Offer bundle pricing tiers or discounts for high‑volume enterprise customers, or an option for cost‑optimized internal DNS zones. * Improved Error Diagnostics: Provide more descriptive error codes and guided troubleshooting steps in the portal or CLI.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I would say make use of Azure DNS; it is a very good solution."
"The most valuable feature of Azure DNS is it works automatically after configuration and the solution is secure."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the simplicity of putting DBs."
"The initial setup is straightforward and not that complex."
"We have migrated Azure services from on-premises to Azure Cloud and multiple services like microservices or application improvements or applications replacing Azure administrators."
"Can be configured to achieve a hundred percent reliability"
"The best feature is the domain register, and whenever you create any resources, Azure DNS will automatically create a record for you."
"The initial setup is easy and the solution is user-friendly"
"We have improved our flexibility to deploy web-based or DNS based solutions globally and deliver services more reliably."
"Support was outstanding when first setting up in trial mode and also after we had gone live with the product."
"Tough to provide numbers, but avoiding downtime and calls from my employees when the VPN goes down was priceless."
"Great performance, easy configuration."
 

Cons

"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The scalability could improve."
"Azure DNS could improve by having more updates."
"The security features and stability needs to be bettered."
"There are some latency issues that could be improved."
"Azure DNS could improve by having more updates."
"I did not see any improvements required."
"The technical support can be more knowledgeable."
"Compared to the other platforms, the interface is not as smooth, but the options and support help make that a non-issue."
"The email for each line change is excessive, perhaps if the change emails consolidated all changes per domain in a given hour."
"My only recommendation might be a better, more modern interface."
"Just to be able to import records with our current DNS product which didn't seem to work with importing domains using AXFR zone transfer records."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is free."
"The pricing is expensive."
"In my opinion, DNS is inexpensive. The pricing depends on how you use it, but overall, it's quite affordable. It typically costs just a fesw cents, and Microsoft even offers ten thousand free hits per month."
"We have an enterprise license agreement with Microsoft. Their pricing is competitive. I would rate it a three and a half out of five."
"I would describe Azure DNS as a cheaply priced product."
"To use Azure DNS, I need to buy the license meant for Windows Server."
"The solution itself is free but you need to pay for the Microsoft Azure infrastructure and host your domains in Azure to use it."
"The price is low and it's a reasonable price for that product."
