Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Dyn Managed DNS

We use it to manage our public facing DNS records. It acts as the entry point to our website and other services for all users both internal and external. We also use it for load balancing and redundancy. It alerts us when things go up and down which is useful.
  • Easy to manage
  • Records update almost immediately
  • Provides geographic load balancing
  • Sometimes its hard to find the settings I'm looking for
  • Confusing to transfer domains into Dyn
  • We are able to change things on the fly quickly without impact
  • Alerts us when things are down
  • Geo-loadbalacing
Name.com also has DNS management but I think Dyn does a much better job. The layout of the website is more intuitive and actually loads and performs much better. Overall if you have a domain name on name.com that you use, I would transfer it to Dyn as its easier to use.
I have never used their support so I cannot comment on this. From what I understand from others who have used their support is that they do a great job and are incredibly responsive. Our company works with many vendors and a lot of them have had issues over the years. Dyn is one that hasn't had any issues.
Coming in as someone who has never managed DNS before I can say that it makes it very easy for someone to come in and figure out at least the bare bones of it. It is very user friendly and I think I could teach someone how to use it in less than 10 minutes.
Its very easy to manage and does exactly what it advertises. It works great if you have multiple DNS records to manage. It makes it really easy to do so. If you only have 1 record then it probably doesn't make sense to use Dyn. Other than that I'd say use it.
