Global availability is a key feature for me. Additionally, DNS Security Zones (DSZ) within DNS Check is a good feature.

It is cost-effective as well.

Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) functionality within BIG-IP DNS enhanced our DNS resolution efficiency.

It's the GSLB component that handles load-balancing applications across different locations. Through GSLB, if you have one location in India and another in the US, for instance, you can set up priority-based or cost-based IT services.

When a user requests support, the system checks if they are coming from a location associated with a specific service level. If the user is in the US,  GSLB automatically resolves them to US-based DCs, and vice versa for India. This ensures users are directed to the appropriate applications based on their location.
