Overall Satisfaction with Google Cloud DNS

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.
  • minimalist UI
  • configuration settings provided cleanly
  • documentation is available
  • 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
  • Forwarding
  • Private Zones
  • Pricing
  • We use GCP for all our projects so Google Cloud DNS fits perfectly
  • It is proving to scale well so good for us since we are a growing company
  • It is easy to use and doesn't require a separate team to maintain
Amazon Route 53 offers almost equal or slightly more features than Google Cloud DNS; we selected Google Cloud DNS because the rest of our projects use Google Cloud Platform.
Also, since AWS is a bigger service provider, their pricing is also higher; since Google Cloud DNS pricing is better, we went for it.

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.
