Its one of the most reliable dns service I have as an option currently with high uptime.Its highly stable making my site always up in internet.It's highly scalable and can be integrated with other aws services so I can connect my domain or subdomain names...

The actual user interface is clunky and leaves me guessing that I'm doing the wrong thing. Could use an update. Also doesn't always make clear what you're paying for - had unexpected charges later on

It works very fast. Once a DNS entry added, nearly immediately I can see this propogated by pinging the URL and it has successfully resolved to my target IP already, so this is very fast.

Traffic querying using Manager DNS does not meet the maximum requirement
