Basic design
Need to improve on GUI

Likelihood to Recommend

Google Cloud DNS is simple to set up, records move quickly, and it's integrated with the majority of the Google Cloud Services that we use. With its rapid record spread and ease of use, Google Cloud DNS has helped us in the acceleration of server migrations.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We were seeking an off-site DNS solution that would be reliable and have low-latency, plus be easy to implement.I was tasked with investigating options that might work for our mid-size company. Of course, Google is a trusted brand, so it was one of the first we looked at and after a trial period, we implemented it.

Pros

Low Latency
Scaled pricing
Ease of use

Cons

Initial onboarding was not completely intuitive

Likelihood to Recommend

We’re a “set it and forget it” company for many of our IT solutions, and Google Cloud DNS fit that description well, once we were able to complete the implementation. The ability to test it free and a price scaled to our usage made it easy to try and cost-justify.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it for our Google and internet search presence. It works well and is free or was at the time. We used it correct search terms, DNS look up, DNS mapping, etc. Used instead of many 3-party DNS services, that charge for less features. Updates in real-time. Documentation and deletion of DNS records.

Pros

DNS records
DNS managment
Google Cloud Console

Cons

TXT records limited
can be confusing
pricing got expensive

Likelihood to Recommend

It works great with other apps and services. Can easily view, edit and correct DNS records. It is well suited for multifaceted business, with robust internet search interactivity and rotating customer users. It works best with IT professionals or those who can learn the ins-and-outs of DNS lingo. It is not that needed for education/non-profits, unless you are actively recruiting or fundraising.

Unbeatable storage and collaboration with Google Cloud!

January 11, 2023

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our team consist of post graduate students who work on joint projects with Government and private funders. We use Google Cloud on a daily basis. It is the store house for all our information. Our team is spread across a few cities but with Google cloud, access to any document is seamless. We are not restricted by having physical information confined to a physical office space. We have onboarded new members and simply provided them with access to the appropriate folders. The ability to control access to specific folders is a key benefit of Google Cloud, for security and privacy issues regarding sensitive information.

Pros

Privacy Control
Collaboration
Ease of access to information
Organisation
Communication about access and changes to folders

Cons

Easier management of access

Likelihood to Recommend

Google cloud is well suited to access and collaborate on documents where more than 2 people are required to contribute and in instances where feedback from individuals is captured on the document itself. If a team is working on an end of year report for funders, a few key members may need to finalise a report by offering suggestions that can be viewed and resolved by other team members. Housing documents on Google Cloud is the most appropriate platform I have ever used for tasks like these.

If minimal collaboration needs engagement from just 2 individuals, it may be easier to simply email the information between each other, rather than using time to create a folder, ensure access control and upload the information to Google Cloud for collaborative input.

We use Google Cloud DNS to be able to access the same IP server from different computers allowing for a seamless system within the office. We use a lot of medical forums and applications like ImageNet and MacPractice to keep records and data of our patients. With Google Cloud DNS, transitioning documents from one pace to another is easier and much more efficient. We are able to have our own private VPN network in order to minimize risk of exposure.

Pros

IP Routing
Split Horizon DNS
Cache IP for future requests (Very helpful)

Cons

Interface is advance, but could be easier to navigate

Likelihood to Recommend

With Google Cloud DNS, transitioning documents from one pace to another is easier and much more efficient. We are able to have our own private VPN network in order to minimize risk of exposure. The split horizon dns specifically helps us to keep our network secure, especially since we have lots of people in and out of the entire building day after day. We need this extra layer of security.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Google cloud is used across our organization to manage routing domain names to IP for our websites. The user interface it has is very easy to work with it. We can easily manage DNS mapping using A records. They have also the best pricing as compared to other competitors. The turnaround time they maintain for issues is pretty good. We do have full control over the DNS settings of our domain which helps to make changes easily whenever needed.

Pros

Interface is user friendly
It is safe , Secure and reliable
It has lower pricing plans
They have good customer support
They do have good documentation to have fair ideas on their offerings

Cons

It is hard for first time user to get used to it.
Support is restricted for 3rd party services who uses it
Sometimes the support people take more than 24hrs to reply to our queries, But it is not for all issues.
Search function could have been made easy to search records

Likelihood to Recommend

It is good for users to manage routing domain names to IP for websites. One can easily manage DNS setup using it. It is very fast and reliable. It may be a bit confusing for a less technical person to handle. We do not have any downtime from the day we shifted to google cloud DNS. Google Cloud does not break a sweat managing small to high amount of users. There are some drawbacks [that] can be rectified but it is not a deal-breaker.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It is being used across the whole organization. We use it to manage our DNS settings - this includes routing our domain names to IP's for external as well as internal websites. The user experience has been pretty good - in that, the console is clean to use, and the configuration settings can be easily found.

Pros

minimalist UI
configuration settings provided cleanly
documentation is available

Cons

in case of an error, the presentation should be improved; error should be more clearly explained
better documentation
explanation of the fields at the place where they appear

Likelihood to Recommend

Google Cloud DNS is well suited in most cases - it has a clean interface, plenty of configuration options, available to view and edit on the Google console.

It may not be as well suited for novice users since the documentation about the various fields is not always available near where the fields need to be set.

Google Cloud DNS is quick and stable. Contrasted with different DNS workers, I confide in Google more due to its immense organization. A wide range of records can be made do with accommodating guidelines for new administrators. Simple IP the executives particularly in the event that you sent in Google cloud.

I typically utilize the DNS programming my host gives, and simply keep my areas facilitated and directed across the board place. Be that as it may, Google Cloud DNS refreshes a lot snappier and I definitely relocated my spaces and their DNS over and have been utilizing it for very nearly 2 years now. It's fantastically open since it's Google!

In less complex words, admittance to our Google worker or framework is worldwide and we have 100% accessibility to the Authoritative Name Servers. We additionally have full authority over your DNS settings and these are no longer at the control of any outsider enlisting our spaces. This further improves our IT foundation security. Estimating is extraordinary besides.

Pricing for support is also really high.
