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."The most valuable feature of Azure DNS is it works automatically after configuration. Additionally, the solution is secure."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The most valuable features of Azure DNS are the DNS forwarder and the DNS additional record editions."
"If you're running your enterprise application on Azure, it's convenient to use Azure DNS. It has native integration with other Azure solutions, and Microsoft is a globally recognized DNS provider. You also get CDN services. If you're a media company that requires on-demand data streaming, your DNS plays a vital role by working with CDN services to publish your application. It's cheaper and easier to expand your solution."
"The setup is relatively straightforward."
"The solution allows you to host DNS service without using Azure's servers."
"From a security perspective, Microsoft is much better than other cloud providers."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a stable product."
"Managing our BDI infrastructure globally is simple, and BlueCat's personalized relationship with us is valuable to our organization."
"DNS aliases, which we use extensively in our applications are a valuable feature."
"This inherent stability, derived from its Linux-based architecture, provides a well-established and reliable platform."
"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."
"I've been impressed by BlueCat's performance and user-friendly GUI."
"The solution is scalable in multiple ways."
"The most valuable feature is the IPAMs, which provide visibility into all the IP addresses on the network."
"The most valuable features are scalability and cloud infrastructure."
"The support from Microsoft in India is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The security features and stability needs to be bettered."
"The technical support can be more knowledgeable."
"The CDN integration could be improved."
"The web interface to manage the solution must be made easier."
"The DNSSEC feature is not yet available on the DNS server so it needs to be added."
"Azure DNS' documentation needs to improve."
"There are some latency issues that could be improved."
"While knowledge is a factor, both technical support and training need a significant overhaul."
"The UI is outdated and needs a modern refresh."
"BlueCat Integrity can improve by increasing the amount of updates it releases."
"The technical support is slow and has room for improvement."
"The DNS and DHCP servers for guests are separated from the main organization. A lot of times, it doesn't allow you to choose a default IP space. When I log in to the GUI, it doesn't default to where I want it to be. So far, I haven't been able to find out how to change or specify that so that it defaults to a particular space, such as the main org. If I'm looking for the IP space for guests, I need to toggle and go to the guest site. Most of the time, I want the IP space for the org to be my main space, but it doesn't give me the ability to do that, or I haven't been able to find that over the last two years."
"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."
"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."
"One complaint about the interface is BlueCat's handling of subzones."
