The technology is so simple to use that even non-IT professionals can use it. Google Cloud Console's DNS administration tools are remarkable. This gives you complete control over all functions, unlike third-party domain registrars, who typically charge extra for DNS features.
  • Privacy Control
  • Cloud services under one google account
  • Gives full detailed reports
  • Navigation to multiple features are bit time taking
  • Basic design
  • Need to improve on GUI
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.
  • Cloud hosting
  • Domain name
  • DNS servers
  • Great cost effective cloud solution
  • Integrates with all major apps in market
  • All in one cloud features like hosting and domain from same google account

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.
  • DNS records
  • DNS managment
  • Google Cloud Console
  • TXT records limited
  • can be confusing
  • pricing got expensive
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.
  • search terms
  • record keeping
  • real-time
  • not for some education organizations
  • easy to use, for IT staff
  • difficult for non-tech savvy
At the time Google DNS was free for most features. We already use google for a variety of needs, so it integrated well. We tried a few other products, but they were expensive (for our needs) or cumbersome. Training was simple with Google DNS, for IT adjacent staff. Other products were mush more jargon heavy.

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.
  • 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
  • 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
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.
  • Routing domain name to IP for our websites
  • Mostly we use Google cloud dns for all dns related needs
  • Scalability is much useful when we have large number of users visitng our website.
  • It does not help in ROI for our bussiness.
We have not used other DNS services before google cloud DNS.
