    Oracle Dyn Managed DNS
    Considered Both Products
    Oracle
    Chose Oracle Dyn Managed DNS
    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 …

    Mos of the other DNS doesn't have the Role base access. And there are few DNS providers where an update of records is restricted per day.

    Open DNS and cloud DNS were tested and the features available with Dyn were far superior to these other products for our organization.

    Oracle Dyn Managed DNS is much simpler to use and has no ads. Using other companies, you sometimes have pop-up ads and have difficulty getting to the zone and managing the DNS records. Since Dyn Managed DNS is only DNS, you're in, out, done. No time is wasted trying to …

    Name.com also has DNS management but I think Dyn does a much better job. The layout of the website is more intuitive and actually loads and performs much better. Overall if you have a domain name on name.com that you use, I would transfer it to Dyn as its easier to use.

    DYN always came greatly recommended, we knew from the start that was the only platform for us because it had great features and cost.

    We selected Oracle Dyn Managed DNS because it has the active failover functionality that our agency needed.

    Chose Oracle Dyn Managed DNS
    We have been using Dyn since before it was acquired by Oracle and has never failed us. I have used other DNS providers in the past, mostly from the domain registrars, but those have lacked features and availability of certain types of DNS records. In addition, the management …

    Oracle Dyn Managed DNS is trusted, tested, proven and widely used. This is the winning factor.

    Oracle Dyn gave us zero downtime vs four downtimes somewhere else. 30 sec TTL vs ten min for second best.

    We selected it for stability. It has a way better UI than UltraDNS. Oracle Dyn has a clear user interface without bloatware, and the actions don't surprise you.

    Route 53 - Their main benefit is the integration with the rest of the Amazon Web Services suite, something other …

    I do not use any other DNS, I cannot attest to differences.

    It is just as powerful, but it lacks the AWS features that Route 53 has. But, that isn't something that Oracle Dyn Managed DNS can control.

    Dyn was recommended to me by a colleague and based on his recommendation, no other managed DNS vendors were considered.

    Chose Oracle Dyn Managed DNS
    We actually use both providers, but Dyn is our primary.

    In terms of feature set, both companies have very similar offerings. We've found Verisign's UI and documentation to be overall more usable, but Dyn's GeoDNS management is far simpler. Both companies offer an API, and while …

    We like the fact that this is now an Oracle product. We keep GoDaddy for certificates and Dyn for DNS.

    We have actually considered running our own DNS but would gladly jump ship if management allowed us to.

    We have not evaluated any alternatives recently. Previously we managed DNS at a registrar, and their lack of options made us realize we needed to find something better.

    We currently use the DNS service provided by our new host, Agathon, and it is just as good and far cheaper.

    The free DNS service included with a domain purchase cannot perform advanced functions like automatic failover to another IP with low TTL.
