Overall Satisfaction with Google Cloud DNS

This is being used by our company for DNS service on some of our client websites that are being hosted on Google Cloud. This makes DNS very easy to manage and centralizes things when other Google Cloud services are being used as well, such as Google Compute Engine, Google Storage, etc.
  • Easy to use
  • Fast Propogation
  • Centralized management
  • A little hard to find initially
  • Requires a google account
  • May be a little difficult for less technical people to use
  • Saves some time.
  • Allows a more complete suite for a web build.
  • Allows centralized management and billing for Google Cloud projects.
Google Cloud DNS is just as good as some other premium DNS services and definitely better than some (such as GoDaddy). I generally choose Google Cloud DNS when I am already using other Google Cloud tools for a project as it just makes sense. From one account I can manage the server, storage cluster, DNS, etc.
I haven't needed support for it yet, however, in my experience, Google Support isn't great.
This is very easy to use if you are already using Google Cloud Services or you are part of the Google Ecosystem already. I believe this is probably the main intention of Google Cloud DNS, to provide a more complete suite of tools to Google Cloud customers. For that reason I would rate usability a 10.

Do you think Google Cloud DNS delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Google Cloud DNS's feature set?

Yes

Did Google Cloud DNS live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Google Cloud DNS go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Google Cloud DNS again?

Yes

I believe Google Cloud DNS is well suited if you are already using some Google Cloud services such as Compute Engine. It may be less appropriate for people who are not currently part of the Google ecosystem as it may require some extra unnecessary account setup. As well, it may not be the best suited for less "techy" people.
