Akamai
Well suited when you have a high-turnover staffing model or can't get everyone trained on security best practices. Also well suited as a starting place for getting a zero-trust network up and running. A tool like Fast DNS gives you a web based portal to see traffic analysis, too, which for us was very important.

I have been using IBM DNS That Matter for years to host my domains. When I was looking to find a new service provider, I had a lot of demands on my list. I needed a host that was going to be fast, reliable, secure, and above all else, easy to use. I found all of this and more with IBM Cloud. On top of that, they're always coming out with new services and solutions. IBM Cloud is a great choice if you are looking for a new hosting service.

Akamai wins hands down because of their distributed model (their worldwide CDN which is top notch). We've trusted them for other hosting and media distribution and it was a natural to use them for DNS. Feature wise, they are better, for our use cases, then either Google Cloud or Azure
