What do you like best about Azure DNS?

Azure Portal itself is exquisitely developed and makes managing all resources a child's play. Azure DNS is no exception. You purchase a domain and get to manage all CNAME, A records from within the portal which is great. No additional external management required. It does what it's intended to do straightforwardly. It's great for those who want to bring everything under the Azure hood. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure DNS?

The Advanced Management Portal (similar to GoDaddy) that's external to the Azure Portal comes by default with all domains and allows you to achieve pretty much all those tasks. Granted the nameservers aren't managed by Azure at all (the only drawback). However, Azure DNS comes at an extra cost and if you're looking to save money, it's not a feasible option for your business or project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Azure DNS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Domain management can be quite cumbersome and Azure DNS allows you to manage it through the same portal you've admired and become accustomed to. There's frankly no business problem related to it.

The benefits are not tremendous but the added advantage is that it brings domain management under Azure servers so reliability is guaranteed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Azure DNS?

1) The user interface is very easy to use.

2) It detects the change of ISP really fast.

3) The registration change is very fast, usually within 15 seconds.

4) Excellent operating time and performance, allowing a constant and fast resolution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure DNS?

It can not be detected with an ISP that is having problems with the packets, so the company thinks it should fail and shouts at us, but in reality the ISP has not failed, so it could not be returned. It would be nice if you had a way to set the percentage of packet loss before changing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Azure DNS:

It is ideal for high performance or for geo-balanced DNS needs for a business product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Azure DNS solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Azure as the DNS server for my domains. It provides us with fast DNS and also masks the IP address of our domain, which makes it less likely to have DDoS attacks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The good thing is the Maintenance of the DNS records will be done only in a single shot where we can manage the inventory of all the DNS we use in the organization and once the decommission needs to be done then we will be removing it from the Azure DNS by logging in to it.
