Azure DNS Reviews

I am using Azure to host the DNS records.

I like the feature where I can add multiple DNS records for the same subdomain.

Domain registration is one of the problems. We need to go to application services or web apps to purchase the domain instead. If that were to be equivalent to AWS's Route 53 that would be good. But, it is not as flexible as that.

Also, there is no clear information on the functionality of Azure DNS or the features of Azure DNS. For example, there is no information provided on the DDI feature and whether it is available or not.

I have been using this solution for more than two years.

It is stable. We did not have an issue.

It is an easily scalable solution. I would the scalability a nine out of ten.

The support team is good. They support well and we don’t have to implement anything. Since we have a premium plan, the response time is probably less than one hour.

The initial setup is straightforward.

I deployed the hybrid version because the domains are posted somewhere, and I am using DNS on Azure.

I did the installation by myself as it is easy. 

The price is low and it's a reasonable price for that product.

I recommend the product to the users.

We use the solution for domains. We manage the name servers using the tool.

I like Dynamic DNS and secure DNS features. The tool is easy to manage and use. I like its performance and stability. It is a secure product.

The web interface to manage the solution must be made easier. The tool must provide seamless integration between DHCP and IP address management platforms.

I have been using the solution for 15 years.

I rate the tool’s stability seven and a half out of ten. The stability must be improved.

The tool is scalable. We have more than 2000 servers and more than 20,000 desktops.

The support is quite helpful.

The initial setup was very simple. The time taken for deployment depends on the environment’s requirements. The setup depends on the environment. The setup becomes complex when the environment is big.

We are working at a DSK and use Azure DevOps as we work in Azure DevOps infrastructure engineering. So we use various Azure services. We have migrated Azure services from on-premises to Azure Cloud and multiple services like microservices or application improvements or applications replacing Azure administrators.

The process of creating a virtual mission could be improved.

We have been using this solution for the past four years. It is deployed on-premises. 

It is a stable solution. 

It is a scalable solution. 10 to 15 people are using this solution.

The setup was not difficult.

I rate this solution a seven out of ten because it is a hosting service. However, I would recommend this solution to others.

It's primarily used for managing domain names and ensuring proper resolution of IPs and domains. This is essential for setting up load balancers, traffic managers, and other network-related configurations.

Azure DNS is mainly focused on providing name resolution services. Its primary function is to ensure that domain names are correctly resolved to the corresponding IP addresses. As for the integration with other Azure services, it's tightly integrated like any other service within the Azure ecosystem.

There's always room for improvement in any product. 

The reason I rate it highly is because within Azure, everything is managed through a single console called the Microsoft Azure management console. This console provides access to all the features and configurations, including DNS. You can easily browse through the menus, enable or disable features as needed, without having to deal with complex configurations. Additionally, Azure DNS is constantly stable, and each option in the console provides clear information about its impact when enabled or disabled. This makes it straightforward and simple for anyone to configure.

I have been using Azure DNS for the past 5 years.

As for scalability, Azure DNS is indeed scalable, but there are limitations due to its nature as a specialized service. Currently, around two thousand users are utilizing DNS, and yes, there are plans to expand its usage further

Azure DNS needs to be consistently stable because any failure can make our organization unreachable from outside. It's crucial for DNS to be stable 24/7, as even a momentary failure can disrupt accessibility. In terms of stability, I would rate it a solid eight out of ten. While it's stable, there's always room for improvement to ensure it remains reliable.

We've had interactions with Microsoft, although not specifically related to DNS. Generally, we've discussed various matters with them. If any issues arise at the DNS level, we would likely reach out to Microsoft for assistance, as they are the service provider. However, personally, I haven't contacted Microsoft for DNS-related issues. 

Azure DNS is designed to support a hundred percent reliability. If implemented correctly with the right design, it can ensure uninterrupted uptime, performance, and reliability. However, the actual reliability may vary depending on how it's built and deployed in different organizations. In our organization, we've implemented it to achieve a hundred percent reliability, but it's uncertain how others may configure it.

In my opinion, DNS is inexpensive. The pricing depends on how you use it, but overall, it's quite affordable. It typically costs just a fesw cents, and Microsoft even offers ten thousand free hits per month.

Overall, I'd recommend Azure DNS for anyone starting out, as it's an essential service used by everyone on a daily basis. I would rate Azure DNS a solid ten. It's crucial for DNS to be consistently online, as even a brief downtime can disrupt access to websites. Building DNS with the right level of redundancy and high availability ensures uninterrupted service. However, the reliability ultimately depends on how the product is built and the specific requirements of the developers. I would rate it high as well, maybe not a perfect ten, but at least a nine.

Azure DNS is important when a customer uses a hybrid cloud because we can define exactly the accessibility order, whether it’ll be public or private accessibility. We can use a route for the Azure DNS.

Azure DNS is more secure than other solutions. It's easy to implement since the parameters are easy.

Azure is the only solution in the European Union which accepts GPDA.

I have been using Azure for eight years. 

The product is stable.

I rate the solution’s stability a seven out of ten.

The solution has high scalability. We cater the solution to medium and enterprise.

I rate the solution’s scalability a nine out of ten.

In Belgium, when you want support, there is a communication problem. It should be improved.

Neutral

The initial setup took a few weeks to complete. It includes the implementation followed by testing, and the migration is done after testing.

I rate the initial setup an eight out of ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy.

We have received 8% ROI.

I rate the product’s pricing a seven out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

We use the solution for some e-commerce sites that we use. It also integrates with our Kubernetes environment on Azure.

Azure DNS improves our integration with the Kubernetes environment. When we scale or increase our Kubernetes site, the tool updates DNS automatically. It saves us time and cost.

The integration with other services on Azure is valuable. We can create entries automatically by integrating other applications with Azure DNS.

The pricing must be made more clear. If I have multiple domains on Azure DNS, my billing is consolidated. I cannot see the number of connections and requests on each domain. The product must provide information on which DNS or application is consuming the most budget.

I have been using the solution for about two to three years. I am using the latest version of the solution.

I rate the tool’s stability a ten out of ten.

I rate the tool’s scalability a ten out of ten.

I did not need support.

Positive

We also use Amazon Route 53 and Cloudflare. We are consolidating our DNS services into one.

The solution is deployed on the cloud. The initial deployment was a little complex and a little straightforward.

The tool is a good investment.

I use Azure because I had used it previously in another company.

The product did not make any difference in our actual budget. If someone's cloud environment is on Azure, they can choose to use Azure DNS for managing their DNS. If they use Microsoft 365, integrating with Azure DNS will be valuable to them. Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.
