    Constellix DNS is well suited for people already familiar with DNS Made Easy but want more features. Constellix is especially good for people who need ANAME records

    Google Cloud CDN is available globally and supports various load balancers available in different regions around the globe, so I find Google Cloud CDN as one of the best choices for CDN as it serves globally and it is really fast, safe, and secure. It might be not suitable for you if you do not have any technical background.

    There is not really an interface for managing rules directly, compared to market leaders, Google's implementation is probably strong on the technical side but for the average user it might be lacking. There are no advanced features which can be compared to what other leaders in the CDN sector are providing or they can be achieved but with high implementation cost and usage of other products in the Google Cloud suite

    I didn't have the need to use support from Google when I was either testing or setting up my website. Information was easily found by searching online if I needed to, and the options that I needed to install or enable were there on the setup page. Honestly, I was a former systems administrator so most of this stuff is not challenging for me.

    We have limited software developers and don't have the need for a big cloud service provider along with their costs. Google Cloud CDN brings to usr, reliability and brand familiarity. Google Cloud CDN also doesn't bother us with pitches or 1000 emails about the products. We went and signed up for it, without dealing with a pushy salesperson.

    • Google Cloud CDN has worked great as a tool to provide more reliable and faster interactive web experiences such as with e-learning sites.
    • The product can require additional training costs, even for experienced IT administrators.
    • Overall, ongoing costs can also be prohibitive for organizations with smaller web presences.

    Screenshot of Our query reporting breaks down your usage by day for each of your domains and compares GeoDNS queries to your standard query usage.Screenshot of See which records are being queried the most in real-time! You can also filter historical query data by record type, name, location, or IP version. This tool is excellent for identifying traffic anomalies, like DDoS attacks.Screenshot of We offer a full suite of network monitoring services that we call Sonar. Sonar can be used as a standalone service or in tandem with our DNS services; like our Traffic Steering solution, which combines Real-User Monitoring data with synthetic monitoring metrics to inform traffic steering decisions in real-time.Screenshot of Version Control with Rollback:
Compare and revert the commit history of your domain. Each version contains an account of all record changes and gives you the ability to create historical domain recovery. If you make a mistake you are able to roll back to the previous. You can keep notes that are assigned to each committed change to keep track of your work overtime and compare up to two different commit versions side-by-side.
