We performed a comparison between Azure DNS and Google Cloud DNS based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Managed DNS solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Can be configured to achieve a hundred percent reliability"
"The most valuable feature of Azure DNS is it works automatically after configuration. Additionally, the solution is secure."
"One of the key benefits of Azure DNS is its integration with other Azure services. As it is a solution developed by Microsoft, it is easy to integrate with other Azure offerings. Azure DNS also includes Defender for DNS, a feature that protects against anomalies and threats on the DNS. This added security is provided directly by Microsoft. The integration and security features of Azure DNS make it a valuable option for users of the Azure cloud platform."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Azure DNS provides value beyond its user-friendly interface and easy learning curve."
"Data protection is paramount across cloud platforms"
"The integration with other services on Azure is valuable."
"The best feature is the domain register. The other great feature is that whenever you create any resources, Azure DNS will automatically create a record for you."
"Google Cloud DNS continues to evolve based on customer feedback and technological advancements."
"The tool is well integrated. We don’t need the interface of another provider. The product helps me manage my domain and write in Google Cloud."
"The scalability is good."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The initial setup process is easy."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"What needs improvement in Azure DNS is visibility in terms of troubleshooting. It's similar to the area for improvement in Azure Network Watcher, where I can see how the source is going out if I'm troubleshooting a source destination. I can also see the destination. As for seeing how the packet travels, that's what should be improved. It's still lacking in visibility. Suppose I'm looking into backend machines, and if I'm hitting another NPM machine or any machine on the other side, there should be visibility. The tool should tell you that a specific machine is passing through a VPN gateway or route table, routing to a third-party firewall, and then dropping. Azure DNS should show an accurate answer to help the customers, which is its area for improvement."
"There are some latency issues that could be improved."
"While it's stable, there's always room for improvement to ensure it remains reliable."
"The product must provide information on which DNS or application is consuming the most budget."
"The web interface to manage the solution must be made easier."
"The security features and stability needs to be bettered."
"Domain registration is one of the problems. We need to go to application services or web apps to purchase the domain instead. If that were to be equivalent to AWS's Route 53 that would be good. But, it is not as flexible as that."
"The pricing can be more competitive."
"The solution's price could be better."
"Migrating away from Google Cloud DNS can be difficult."
"It needs to provide better integration."
"The cost of using Google Cloud DNS can be relatively high compared to other options, especially considering the cloud environment."
"The UI is tricky to understand for people who have not worked with DNS records. People with little to no experience with DNS records can find it hard to understand. For example, you need to know the hallmarks to input records since they need to be matched in a specific format."
"The UX of the product is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
