Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Dyn Managed DNS

Oracle Dyn Managed DNS is used as primary and secondary DNS provider (depending on the domain). It is used across the whole organization. It is used in our company as a high throughput and very reliable DNS provider. We selected to choose two independent vendors (one being Oracle Dyn) for better reliability.
  • It is very reliable.
  • It has reasonable pricing.
  • It has pretty intuitive and well designed user interface.
  • The user interface is pretty slow sometimes.
  • I find change auditing UI insufficient.
  • Expert Editor does not work when there is large number of nodes ("Due to the large number of nodes in this listing, please use the Node Finder to navigate through your zone to a smaller subset.").
  • It increased the reliability of our infrastructure (since now we have 2 independent DNS vendors).
  • The pricing is reasonable.
  • It makes certain automatic tasks easier, as it provides us with API.
We also evaluated Ultra DNS and NS1. We selected Oracle Dyn Managed DNS because of good reliability and reasonable pricing. We currently use both Oracle Dyn Managed DNS and Ultra DNS to make our DNS infrastructure more reliable as DNS is a very critical service for us and we prefer not to rely only on a single vendor.
I've never used Oracle Dyn Managed DNS support personally, but according to my colleagues it's good, so I'm putting 10 here as the score is required.
Oracle Dyn Managed DNS is very usable. The interface is pretty intuitive, most of the options needed are exposed in the places you would expect. If you use other DNS products you will find the interface familiar. Unfortunately the interface is slow sometimes. It would also benefit from some refreshment, to be more up to date with modern web design.
It's a good DNS solution for larger companies with relatively high DNS traffic that require certain level of reliability. It might not be good for smaller companies that don't have the mentioned requirements due to pricing. Also companies building their solutions on top of platforms that provide built-in DNS (like AWS or Akamai) may also choose not to use Oracle Dyn Managed DNS and choose the platform-provided DNS.
