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."Amazon Route 53 is a DNS resolution service that helps you to map your hostname to another hostname."
"Using Amazon Route 53 is located in a central place in Amazon AWS which makes it easier to manage every DNS entry in one place. You are able to manage your public and private DNS from there. We can create rules based on weight and globalization is impressive."
"The solution effectively monitors the health of resources and provides good identity access management."
"Technical support from Amazon is very good...Overall, the product is stable."
"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 solution has a user-friendly dashboard."
"The solution offers you the flexibility to control configuration rules."
"The scalability is the most valuable feature."
"DNS aliases, which we use extensively in our applications are a valuable feature."
"One of the key features enabling us to operate at our current scale is robust automation."
"BlueCat Integrity provides us with flexibility and visibility that we did not have before."
"The most valuable feature is the IPAMs, which provide visibility into all the IP addresses on the network."
"The solution is scalable in multiple ways."
"Since implementing BlueCat, we have experienced fewer problems, anomalies, and strange issues."
"The most valuable features are scalability and cloud infrastructure."
"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."
"There are no detailed logs, and they should implement that in the solution."
"The product’s security and disaster recovery features need enhancement."
"The cost calculator for determining the cost of Route 53 is a little bit obscure."
"The solution should include more robust and secure services for hardening sites."
"It is difficult to manage the product if the person involved in the setup process doesn't know much about the solution."
"The solution’s pricing could be reduced."
"The platform is more complicated to learn than one of its competitors."
"It may not always be easy to integrate with on-premise infrastructure, especially with the complexity of the resolver and other factors involved. Improvements could be made to enhance the ability to integrate seamlessly."
"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."
"One complaint about the interface is BlueCat's handling of subzones."
"The technical support is slow and has room for improvement."
"During our testing phase, we encountered some issues with Active Directory and DNS reverse lookups."
"The UI is outdated and needs a modern refresh."
"While the product is IPAM, DNS, and DHCP, it does provide NTP functionality, but one of the things that they have yet to correct or catch up with is NTP authentication. There are new standards being pushed out and they are lagging a little bit in supporting them."
"However, it does not offer robust support for high availability failover with different subnets, especially if the servers are located in different data centers and belong to distinct IP networks."
"Usability needs to be better."
