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."Technical support from Amazon is very good...Overall, the product is stable."
"The main DNS resolution is really, really fast."
"The solution offers you the flexibility to control configuration rules."
"It stands out for its user-friendly interface, seamless integration with other AWS services, and ability to efficiently manage DNS, making it a valuable tool for various deployment scenarios, including those involving Kubernetes on AWS."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"We haven't faced any outages or issues directly related to Route 53. It has been 100% stable for me."
"The product integrates with other services from AWS, like Amazon S3 bucket and load balancers. The product can also be used with AWS EC2 Instances, AWS Global Accelerator, Amazon SNS, and AWS Lambda."
"We use Amazon Route 53 for dynamic naming and routing policy."
"This inherent stability, derived from its Linux-based architecture, provides a well-established and reliable platform."
"I've been impressed by BlueCat's performance and user-friendly GUI."
"One of the better things about Integrity is that the underlying code it uses is an ISC DNS and DHCP. It's not like some of the other vendors that have created their own version of DNS."
"As a defense contractor, we must meet many compliance standards regarding logging, configuration, and administrative access. BlueCat is one of the few products that combines all the compliance components in a secure, reliable solution."
"Since implementing BlueCat, we have experienced fewer problems, anomalies, and strange issues."
"It's a critical infrastructure piece. This is where all the IPs are named for the whole organization. It's a big deal. It has all the features related to DNS and DHCP. It's pretty amazing."
"The most significant advantage of BlueCat is its foundation on open-source software, specifically BIND and ISC DHCP."
"Managing our BDI infrastructure globally is simple, and BlueCat's personalized relationship with us is valuable to our organization."
"It is difficult to manage the product if the person involved in the setup process doesn't know much about the solution."
"When we are looking at the model registry, it may be not clear sometimes. For example, if you use a single grid model and group or registry, it has a different SDK in the pilot. And it may be not so comfortable to use both of them because it is two different places for keeping things in order."
"The product’s security and disaster recovery features need enhancement."
"The solution’s pricing could be reduced."
"The solution’s pricing and technical support could be improved."
"Streamlining and optimizing processes related to Procter, VPN workflows, and other subjects based on specific needs would allow for continual improvement and adaptation to the evolving requirements of the system."
"Route 53 would be better if it had the ability to handle multiple requests at the same time because we have a lot of users. I would like that to be optimized in the next version."
"The product should improve its automation."
"I would like the GUI to be similar to AWS and Azure, where we can simply click on an item to expand it and see all the information on one page, without having to click to the next page."
"The integration has room for improvement."
"BlueCat Integrity can improve by increasing the amount of updates it releases."
"The technical support is slow and has room for improvement."
"The ease of use is where I got to give a little knock on them. Once you start using the tool, it becomes very easy. It's actually quite easy to use. The problem that I run into is documentation. The documentation could be a little bit richer. Documentation has always been a little pet peeve for me with them."
"When you replace an appliance, there are many configuration steps, so adding zero-touch provisioning would be helpful. It can be quite tedious and time-consuming to replace a device if it fails or deploy a new one."
"Adaptive DNS only supports AWS for network automation and cloud computing and would be improved if it also supported other options like Azure or Google Cloud."
"During our testing phase, we encountered some issues with Active Directory and DNS reverse lookups."
