(1-25 of 103)A play with Oracle's Dyn managed DNS
- Faster DNS provisioning
- Rapid DNS Change propagation
- Highly available
- REST APIs available which makes it easy to use
- Dyn UI was a bit heavy to use. Improvement in UI will make the product seamless.
- Sometimes there are errors while updating the Dyn from REST APIs, so improving it will add a plus point to the product.
- Traversing between pages of Dynects was difficult from the UI.
Oracle Dyn Managed DNS Rocks...
- User Management is easy
- I can give the Role base Access to DNS
- The failover Functionality of DNS works very well.
- We didn't find any cons yet as there as whatever we are looking for and using is already there in Dyn Managed DNS
- Fault tolerance of DNS records
- Fault tolerance of DNS names. We can fail over our services to another server almost instantly.
- I would like to share the DNS namespace with our internal DNS servers. This is a difficult configuration to maintain.
- The portal management is very easy to use in comparison to other companies for DNS management.
- The have expert mode that allows for multiple edits on records and allows you to make notes for each edit on a zone.
- The have TTLs that are as low as 30 seconds.
- They used to answer the phone when you called them, now after their purchase by Oracle, you have to leave a message for someone to call you back.
- Does not integrate with Dyn Domain Registration, so you need to have multiple accounts: one for Domain Registration and one for Dyn Managed DNS.
- No 2FA on Domain Registration.
Sensible review of Dyn from a non-power user
- Easy to manage
- Records update almost immediately
- Provides geographic load balancing
- Sometimes its hard to find the settings I'm looking for
- Confusing to transfer domains into Dyn
DNS for everyday
- Excellent Active Failover configuration with flexible health monitors and syslog capabilities.
- The ability to easily configure Domain forwarding and redirection using several rule types.
- It has excellent audit tracking, which allows us to tell who made a change to what part of the domain records.
- It would be nice if the interface was more user-friendly and reduce the number of clicks to get a record edited.
- A dashboard with better service summary for the domains.
Oracle Dyn Managed DNS is Awesome
- Oracle Dyn Managed DNS's GUI is very user-friendly.
- The configuration is also very easy.
- I would like to see a GUI Dashboard where Dyn shows all of the DNS traffics.
Great service and cost effective
- They have great customer support
- Keep me informed of changes
- Always reach out to me when new features are available
- The interface could use an upgrade, there are always places this could be done
Oracle Dyns DNS always keeping the lights on!
- Fast DNS query responses
- High and fair priced QPS allowances
- Ease of use from an administrator perspective as the console is intuitive and simple to navigate
- Simpler billing interface
- More responsive sales team to provide relevant QBRs to ensure proper and best practice use of the product/platform
- Integration of the Dyn ECT Managed DNS with Dyn Domain Registration would be a nice feature as currently I have to manage two consoles and billing accounts.
Oracle Dyn Managed DNS - A trusted DNS service
- Ease of use, highly configurable, RESTful APIs, and uptime are highlights of the product.
- Low latency, uptime, and fast resolutions are keys to our business and Oracle Dyn Managed DNS shines.
- The support people are very professional, easy to reach and helped find solutions within minutes.
- The core service meets all our needs. I see no reasons to change the user interface or anything just for the sake of an update.
OracleDyn isa KEY COMPONENT for High Availability
- Option for 30 second TTL
- Zero DNS outage since migrating to Oracle Dyn vs, four outages per year from the previous provider.
- Easy and safe user interface to manage DNS
- Cost: OracleDyn is EXPENSIVE
So far so good
- Ease of changing records.
- Review of packages and offerings.
Great, stable service
- Stability/reliability of the service
- Decent user interface
- Good API
- Authentication and user management (confusing two layers of portal vs. DynECT)
Everyday Dyn-DNS user with real-world experiences.
- Easy to maneuver after basic instruction.
- Easy to train others how to use it.
- Simplistic.
- Reduce the steps to commit a change. Sometimes I forget to click the very last Publish link as I have already clicked "Review & Publish."
- The search function could use some updating I shouldn't have to type EXACTLY what I am searching for. For example, AAA1234 vs just AAA or 1234.
- Ability to change more than one item associated with the same site. For example, , AAA1234-WAN1 or AAA1234-WAN2 versus AAA1234-WAN1 & AAA1234-WAN2.
A great managed DNS service!
- Failover
- Speed
- Usability
- Creating new users and assigning permissions - this is very clunky and difficult. Even more so since the usernames changed a while back.
Dyn knocks it out of the park every time
- Performs frequent and reliable zone transfers to my external facing name servers
- Allows me to review my changes before sending it out for world wide replication
- Some parts of the UI were a little confusing but after working with it for a short time I have become very familiar with the interface
- A way to customize reports tailored to my needs would be helpful
Dyn Managed DNS - A Solid Choice
- Reliable
- "Advanced" DNS Services Available (Load Balanced DNS, Monitoring and Automatic Failover, GeoDNS, etc)
- An API for advanced users and bulk changes
- Reasonably priced
- As a relatively experienced engineer, I find the UI to be incredibly obtuse and counter-intuitive. I try and use the API for most things, but for some people that may not be an option.
- The user documentation is a bit hard to navigate. DNS in general is pretty simple, so this is a minor gripe, but it's hard to find specific info sometimes.
As one of the largest providers of public DNS services, Dyn is hard to beat in terms of reliability or feature set. However, if your QPS needs aren't at an enterprise level and you won't be taking advantage of some of the more "advanced" features like DNS Load Balancing, Traffic Director, or GeoDNS, you may be better off with a less-expensive plan or alternative.
What a way to avoid IT headaches!
- Easy to use interface
- Reliable uptime
- Optimized speeds
- More robust billing system options
Oracle Dyn DNS Review
- Excellent site up-time

- Reporting display could be improved
Review from a Software Engineer
- Strong API support
- Easy to use
- Helpful software libraries
- DNS changes are propagated quickly
- UI is a little dated
- UI is sometimes hard to understand
Why I love Oracle Dyn Managed DNS!
- Very easy user interface to manage DNS.
- Reliable. We have never had any downtime ever.
- DNS records are updated and propagated very fast.
- We have been Oracle customers for 25 years before Dyn. It is very encouraging now that Oracle is part of Dyn.
- Some more help on newer technologies like DMARC, and specific TXT records that are not common.
Easy to use, secure and stable DNS service
- Easy to use interface
- Secure login with 2FA
- Quick and works well
- Not really, it works for what we need it for
Bletcherous User Interface
- Stays running
- reliable
- The user interface is abysmal. I am shocked that it has been alive this long and is so terrible. Ghastly and bletcherous.
- The whole user flow
- logins and user management
- audit logs
- Central Management
- GUI works for beginners or power users
- Ability to easily adjust settings per domain
- Support was quick to respond the few times I've reached out to them
- Historical configurations easily accessible
- I can't really think of anything that stands out as a con.
What can Dyn DNS do for you?
- The DYN API is fast and flexible allowing for additions, deletions, and changes to all be handled through automated processes.
- The flexibility with the types of records and the ease of use provided by the API and UI make adding and changing records a breeze.
- The customer portal is intuitive and very easy to navigate. Finding and managing records is very easy.
- The WebUI is flash based and when you have a large number of records the UI can be very slow to respond.
- When making changes sometimes it is easy to miss the notification that you haven't published the changes. It would be nice to have a more obvious prompt/reminder to publish the changes.
