CloudfloorDNS vs. OpenText Core DNS Protection

CloudfloorDNS is a great product, particularly if you want a reliable DNS service without breaking the bank. They support all the standard record types (A, CNAME, NS, MX, etc.) Very easy to use. They also have a way to roll back changes in case something unexpected happens. I would say if you have a small IT department and need DNS to just be a utility that you never have to think about, this is a good product for you.

If you already have Webroot AV, it makes sense to continue with the same vendor. It's pretty cheap compared to some solutions, so it might be the case that it's this or nothing, in which case this is a no brainer. If you are an MSP, this is an easy product to sell, and requires very little maintenance. you do need to monitor it but it runs itself most of the time. If you are a customer with >50 users, you should really be looking for a product that is a bit higher up the food chain

• The service is very stable and reliable
• Support is great; the response time is impressive and they are always able to answer questions and resolve issues promptly

• I think they meet all of our needs, so not much to say here; we switched from a very well known provider to save money and have been very happy with the service

Incentivized

• Integration with G-Suite, O365, Active Directory, SIS, etc.
• Increase the number of third-party integrations.
• It can be expensive to implement, depending on the size of the network.
• It does not offer additional features and options beyond basic protection.

They have all the same features and customer service without the price tag. We used Dyn as our DNS provider for over a decade. We continued after the acquisition by Oracle, but decided to save a few bucks.

Webroot stacks right up with the top vendors in this tier. Priced right and MSP ready.

• It takes one more thing of our list of things to manage; once it's working, we can focus on more important things
• I have received calls letting me know that we might be experiencing a DDoS attack; they had already remediated the threat by throttling the traffic from that source back so it did not overwhelm resources. Had that not been sufficient, they were already ready to spin up additional virtual servers to offload some overhead and make sure that we were not impacted by the situation. They continued monitoring until things were back to normal and followed up with a call to discuss. Very good service.

Incentivized

• Much reduced time spent on malware issues at small business customers
• Slightly increased revenue as this fills a space that didn't used to exist in our stack
• Customers satisfaction went up due to the added ability to block certain content quickly and easily
