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 …
I have used other products at previous companies. However, DynDNS was selected before I started here six years ago, and we have stuck with DynDNS through everything due to its reliability, speed, and options
Dyn DNS has a lovely simple zone-transfer / DNS response stack that I trust, very fast propagation and has proven a reliable stack. Dyn is also very cost competitive compared to some of their peers. Others we examined had interesting features, but the gap to migrate from a …
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.
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.
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.
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.
