Find out what your peers are saying about NS1, Cloudflare, Microsoft and others in Managed DNS."The initial setup is straightforward and not that complex."
"If you're running your enterprise application on Azure, it's convenient to use Azure DNS. It has native integration with other Azure solutions, and Microsoft is a globally recognized DNS provider. You also get CDN services. If you're a media company that requires on-demand data streaming, your DNS plays a vital role by working with CDN services to publish your application. It's cheaper and easier to expand your solution."
"Azure DNS provides value beyond its user-friendly interface and easy learning curve."
"The most valuable feature of Azure DNS is it works automatically after configuration. Additionally, the solution is secure."
"The best feature is the domain register. The other great feature is that whenever you create any resources, Azure DNS will automatically create a record for you."
"The solution allows you to host DNS service without using Azure's servers."
"From a security perspective, Microsoft is much better than other cloud providers."
"One of the key benefits of Azure DNS is its integration with other Azure services. As it is a solution developed by Microsoft, it is easy to integrate with other Azure offerings. Azure DNS also includes Defender for DNS, a feature that protects against anomalies and threats on the DNS. This added security is provided directly by Microsoft. The integration and security features of Azure DNS make it a valuable option for users of the Azure cloud platform."
"The most valuable feature of Quad9 is that it is a free solution."
"The initial setup of this solution could be less complex and require less manual configurations."
"The scalability could improve."
"Azure DNS could improve by having more updates."
"The technical support can be more knowledgeable."
"The DNSSEC feature is not yet available on the DNS server so it needs to be added."
"The CDN integration could be improved."
"What needs improvement in Azure DNS is visibility in terms of troubleshooting. It's similar to the area for improvement in Azure Network Watcher, where I can see how the source is going out if I'm troubleshooting a source destination. I can also see the destination. As for seeing how the packet travels, that's what should be improved. It's still lacking in visibility. Suppose I'm looking into backend machines, and if I'm hitting another NPM machine or any machine on the other side, there should be visibility. The tool should tell you that a specific machine is passing through a VPN gateway or route table, routing to a third-party firewall, and then dropping. Azure DNS should show an accurate answer to help the customers, which is its area for improvement."
"The process of creating a virtual mission could be improved."
"Quad9 could improve by having more free features, such as custom DNS filtering."
