Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Dyn Managed DNS
We switched to Managed DNS from the basic DNS product in order to gain access to the automatic monitors and failover of our critical systems. While the monitoring isn't particularly advanced (really just up/down) it is very effective and even fails over (and back again) during very brief server reboots.
The rest of the product isn't that different from a basic DNS provider and works adequately.

- DNS Active Failover is fast and easy to set up.
- Basic DNS settings are easy to view and change.
- Dyn now has multiple control panels for its various products and services. It's not always easy to find what you are looking for.
- Switching to the Managed DNS product from the simple one was advertised as an instant changeover, but it didn't work that way for us. Months later we were still being charged for the basic service and our domain was still showing up in the old system.
- The Active Failover product has allowed us to set up a failover site so during an outage our users don't get time-out errors.
- We've been using Dyn's DNS products for over a decade now and have appreciated the flexibility of having all of our domains with short TTLs.
