A play with Oracle's Dyn managed DNS
As our organization had an ample amount of DNS to manage, it was quite inconvenient when it comes to Amazon Route 53 or any other alternatives as the change propagation time was pretty much high as compared to Oracle Dyn Managed DNS. And when it comes to the huge customer base and customer satisfaction, the organization has to be wise at choosing the right tools and the right tool which fitted our requirements was Oracle Dyn managed DNS.

Oracle Dyn Managed DNS Rocks...
Mos of the other DNS doesn't have the Role base access. And there are few DNS providers where an update of records is restricted per day.
Open DNS and cloud DNS were tested and the features available with Dyn were far superior to these other products for our organization.
Oracle Dyn Managed DNS is much simpler to use and has no ads. Using other companies, you sometimes have pop-up ads and have difficulty getting to the zone and managing the DNS records. Since Dyn Managed DNS is only DNS, you're in, out, done. No time is wasted trying to navigate through the portal.

Sensible review of Dyn from a non-power user
Name.com also has DNS management but I think Dyn does a much better job. The layout of the website is more intuitive and actually loads and performs much better. Overall if you have a domain name on name.com that you use, I would transfer it to Dyn as its easier to use.

DNS for everyday
DYN always came greatly recommended, we knew from the start that was the only platform for us because it had great features and cost.

Oracle Dyn Managed DNS is Awesome
We selected Oracle Dyn Managed DNS because it has the active failover functionality that our agency needed.

Great service and cost effective
There are a lot of alternatives now, I feel like Dyn is in the top 3

Oracle Dyns DNS always keeping the lights on!
We have been using Dyn since before it was acquired by Oracle and has never failed us. I have used other DNS providers in the past, mostly from the domain registrars, but those have lacked features and availability of certain types of DNS records. In addition, the management interfaces for such "built-in" DNS servers are less than optimal and have lead to confusion and incorrect DNS record updates.

Oracle Dyn Managed DNS - A trusted DNS service
Oracle Dyn Managed DNS is trusted, tested, proven and widely used. This is the winning factor.

OracleDyn isa KEY COMPONENT for High Availability
Oracle Dyn gave us zero downtime vs four downtimes somewhere else. 30 sec TTL vs ten min for second best.

Great, stable service
We selected it for stability. It has a way better UI than UltraDNS. Oracle Dyn has a clear user interface without bloatware, and the actions don't surprise you.
Route 53 - Their main benefit is the integration with the rest of the Amazon Web Services suite, something other vendors will never be able to offer.

Everyday Dyn-DNS user with real-world experiences.
I do not use any other DNS, I cannot attest to differences.

A great managed DNS service!
It is just as powerful, but it lacks the AWS features that Route 53 has. But, that isn't something that Oracle Dyn Managed DNS can control.

Dyn knocks it out of the park every time
Dyn was recommended to me by a colleague and based on his recommendation, no other managed DNS vendors were considered.

Dyn Managed DNS - A Solid Choice
We actually use both providers, but Dyn is our primary.
In terms of feature set, both companies have very similar offerings. We've found Verisign's UI and documentation to be overall more usable, but Dyn's GeoDNS management is far simpler. Both companies offer an API, and while Verisign's documentation was a little better, we were able to accomplish more with Dyn's.
Overall, the two providers have near-parity in features, so our decision came largely down to cost and timing.

Why I love Oracle Dyn Managed DNS!
March 20, 2019
Bletcherous User Interface
We have actually considered running our own DNS but would gladly jump ship if management allowed us to.
We have not evaluated any alternatives recently. Previously we managed DNS at a registrar, and their lack of options made us realize we needed to find something better.

What can Dyn DNS do for you?
We looked at other products, but DYN came across as the clear leader in our research and was the only one we ended up testing.
March 15, 2019
Fast Friendly service for a product that just works.
Dyn was selected prior to my arrival
We currently use the DNS service provided by our new host, Agathon, and it is just as good and far cheaper.

Enterprise grade DNS
The free DNS service included with a domain purchase cannot perform advanced functions like automatic failover to another IP with low TTL.
