Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Dyn Managed DNS

I am using Oracle Dyn Managed DNS to manage the DNS for several domain name. One domain name has thousands of subdomains. We use DynDNS to manage users ability to have different access to different domain names, which is an important aspect for us. Being able to grant users access to granular DNS settings allows our team to efficiently provide the necessary access to operate quickly with swift turnaround. Our entire engineering department has access to Oracle Dyn Managed DNS.
  • Provides good per user access
  • Is extremely cost effictive
  • Has great uptime
  • No integration with other cloud products from AWS, Google Could, Azure, etc
  • Batch zone updates which don't require having to edit zone files and then reupload. For example, updating the TTL for several records at a time in the UI
  • Pro: Being able to delegate access to employees for certain domain name updates which happen frequently
  • Pro: Services such as domain redirects allow us to not have to spin up servers just to redirect to other domains we have
Both Route 53 and Google Cloud DNS provide the ability to create zone files internal to the VPC which unfortunately Oracle Dyn Managed DNS doesn't do. That being said, other than this use case, having Oracle Dyn Managed DNS allows us to be able to have a heterogeneous environment where we are not locked into Amazon or Google, and can run in either environment.
We have never had a problem which required that we contact support. In the rare event that there is any problem, the Oracle Dyn Managed DNS has provided more than enough information in their twitter feed. This sense of support is encouraging since it shows that they're always on top of whatever is going on, even if you do not contact them.
It is very easy to use Oracle Dyn Managed DNS, and we have trained several employees on how to make changes. The interface is so easy that we are confident that even with several users, that things will not go wrong because of the checks Oracle Dyn Managed DNS puts in place, such as confirming and publishing your changes.
Oracle Dyn Managed DNS is best for a growing business who is currently using the DNS provided by their web hosting company. Decoupling your DNS provider from your web hosting or registrar allows flexibility to change providers while keeping all of your DNS up to date. Since DNS takes time to propagate, you do not want to be changing your DNS provider every time you change your hosting provider or domain registrar. Oracle Dyn Managed DNS has helped us avoid vendor lock in and be agile,
