IBM NS1 Connect vs. Oracle Dyn Managed DNS

It is very useful where system demand is very high and more traffic is coming. It is very efficient and gives best return on investment

For any company that needs a robust DNS service that can handle high QPS volumes without latency or lag, Oracle Dyn is the best that I have used. I can always rely on the backend infrastructure to ensure that DNS isn't a bottleneck for website performance. I have never had to open a support ticket for any issues and published changes to DNS records are nearly instantaneous across the globe.

• Makes for a fast website loading.
• Enhanced the user interface.
• Economical cost.
• It is the best RUL.
• DNS response time.
• Routing the base location of the user.

Incentivized

• One of the best features is the interface. Whether you are using the expert or simple editor it is easy to figure out on the fly.
• We've found support to be extremely fast and knowledgeable.
• It is consistently one of the fastest responses to DNS queries.
• It uses role-based access to delegate as much or little access for users.

Incentivized

• Learning materials depicting flows that can help users who are completely new to networking
• Pricing can be more transparent
• I feel UI is a bit complex to adapt, especially for new users, it should be made more intuitive

Incentivized

• As a relatively experienced engineer, I find the UI to be incredibly obtuse and counter-intuitive. I try and use the API for most things, but for some people that may not be an option.
• The user documentation is a bit hard to navigate. DNS in general is pretty simple, so this is a minor gripe, but it's hard to find specific info sometimes.

It does exactly what we need, its fast, secure and reliable.

The interface can be better. As of now, it is a bit difficult to manage multiple records at the same time or to test the rules effectively. The data reporting is also not as great as we expect with tools of today’s maturity.

I give Oracle Dyn Managed DNS's overall usability an 8/10. If you understand DNS then you should have no problem working with the Dyn DNS interface. It takes very little time to learn how to update and manage DNS for your domains. The DYN API is also easy to work with and they provide SDK's for most programming languages.

Haven't had a need to work with the support team and DYN to date. The system has always done what we needed and the support documentation is straightforward and has answered any questions that we have had. They provide updates if there are ever any issues in a timely manner and make sure everyone knows what is going on.

IBM NS1 Connect and Amazon Route 53 are both DNS (Domain Name System) services, but differ in their focus and strengths. IBM NS1 Connect is a cloud DNS service designed for complex traffic routing, application performance, and reliability, while Route 53 is a more general-purpose DNS service offering domain registration, routing, and health checks, often used within the AWS ecosystem.

Incentivized

As our organization had an ample amount of DNS to manage, it was quite inconvenient when it comes to Amazon Route 53 or any other alternatives as the change propagation time was pretty much high as compared to Oracle Dyn Managed DNS. And when it comes to the huge customer base and customer satisfaction, the organization has to be wise at choosing the right tools and the right tool which fitted our requirements was Oracle Dyn managed DNS.

Incentivized

• The cost was reasonable for a solution that is well known
• Having hosted DNS saves us money on maintenance
• Reports give us critical insight into our domains and how often they are used.

Incentivized

• The service price is very competitive even for SMBs.
• Every outage costs money, and with Dyn Managed DNS, service uptime is 100%.
• You will most likely see a return on investment the same year if moving away for your own external managed DNS servers.
