Using Azure DNS, you can easily and quickly deploy and manage your domain DNS. It's been an excellent introduction to our web services requirements. It offers all services on a single platform and integrates with other applications. It not only offers DNS services for websites but also for your applications.

If you have your environment in Azure then Azure private DNS is the best DNS solution as it will do everything for you and you don't have to manage anything in the DNS apart from the initial configuration.
The propagation time for the Public DNS is also fast and doesn't take up hours for DNS record changes to reflect, but that also depends on the TTL.

Azure DNS is great to cover our security concerns and for blocking boots, which seems to happen quite often. It is a great tool to help us monitor and manage traffic and also track performance based on different benchmarks.
Sometimes there are software updates that we'd like to see less of, but overall the IT team has been happy with this since implementation onwards.

We have build Ubuntu server for our client construction commerce website with marketing & other lead forms pushed data to website. The DNS Name Service must resolve at local networks without any DNS interruptions. Where as Azure DNS service available based on regions and separated by Zones. We opted Azure DNS service and update our required DNS records which propagates with less TTL at local networks. Because this feature our website data update properly which pushed from different lead forms.

Azure is best suited to mid-large scale companies who have good spending power. The features and services justify the costs. However, for smaller companies, the cost can be prohibitive.

Managing DNS domains is simple as everything is handled through a single portal. External management isn't required at all. Maintaining and calculating company assets is easy using Azure.

DNS domains in Azure and managing DNS records using the Azure portal, organizations can simplify the process of managing their DNS infrastructure and make it easier to scale and maintain their DNS domains. It is good for a smaller organization that is trying to scale up to meet specific demands.

If you need something simple, there are other tools that are free and more basic. Azure gives metrics, alerts, and a lot more fine tuning of DNS records. Uptime and speed make Azure a good choice for your cloud servers. If you have a lot of VPS's in Azure, then it puts the CLI and the portal in one place.
