"The most valuable features of Azure DNS are the DNS forwarder and the DNS additional record editions."

The integration and security features of Azure DNS make it a valuable option for users of the Azure cloud platform."
"Can be configured to achieve a hundred percent reliability"
"The most valuable feature is the ease of installation."
"What I like about Azure DNS is that it doesn't have any issues and integrates quickly with other products. It has good integration, which is incredible. I also like that whenever you deploy private links and endpoints, Azure DNS gives you the option to select the Azure native DNS, private DNS, or go with the Azure custom DNS. It depends, but if you don't have any dependencies on the DNS, then, like many customers, you won't have DNS issues. Azure DNS is a very good solution that helps you with domains and other resources."
"The DNS resolution is the most valuable feature."
"CNAME flattening is a feature that Akamai does not support."
"The licensing cost should be improved."
"Azure DNS sticks mostly with the Azure native solution and doesn't scale well in a multi-cloud or hybrid environment."
"The support from Microsoft in India is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There are some latency issues that could be improved."
"Azure DNS could improve by having more updates."
"There are issues with the cloud systems."
