"The DNS resolution is the most valuable feature."
"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 tool is easy to manage and use."
"Azure DNS is a user-friendly and very easy-to-manage solution."

"The scalability could improve."
"There are issues with the cloud systems."
"The solution lacks scalability."
"I would like to see more security features and protection."
