Azure DNS Reviews & Product Details

The setup process is straightforward, and the product offers flexible usage options. I have experienced rapid response times and consistent performance across different features, including private endpoints, storage, FSLogix, and on-premises integration. Reliability has also been excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The cost of accessing all the features is too high for smaller organizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's so simple and reliable to manage domains directly within the Azure ecosystem. Integration with other Azure services simplifies setup, and I don't have to worry about downtime or complex configurations. It's also quite fast in its deployment and greatly simplifies Azure PaaS resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface can be somewhat limited compared to other DNS management tools, especially when managing advanced configurations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've been using Azure DNS, which is like a toolbox for managing website addresses. Here's what I like best about Azure DNS:

Doesn't Break: Azure DNS is pretty reliable. It keeps my website working, and I rarely see it go offline. That's a big plus.

Plays Well with Others: If you're already using Microsoft's Azure cloud stuff, it fits right in. You can manage your website address alongside your other online things, which is handy.

Works Everywhere: It doesn't matter where your website visitors are from; Azure DNS helps them access your site quickly. That's important for a good website experience.

Grows with You: No matter if your website is small or huge, Azure DNS can handle it. You can add more stuff to your website without trouble. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Costs Can Be Confusing: Azure's pricing can be a bit tricky to figure out, especially if you're new to it. Keep an eye on your costs to avoid surprises.

Takes a Bit to Learn: If you're new to Azure DNS, it might take a while to understand how it works. The interface and terms can be a bit confusing at first.

Help Might Be Slow: If you need help, sometimes it can take a while to get it. That can be frustrating if your website is super important.

Not for Fancy Stuff: If you want to do really fancy things with your website, Azure DNS might not have all the tools you need. It's better for basic stuff.

In short, Azure DNS keeps your website running well, especially if you're already using Microsoft's other online tools. It's reliable, works globally, and can grow with your website. But watch your costs, be patient while learning, and make sure it has all the tools you need for your website project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Azure DNS is the best solution, as it helps in DNS management and Domain Purchasing, so we do not need to rely on other vendors to get different vendors for getting various services related to DNS. Since the same vendors provide both services, there is no chance of incompatibility. The interface is very user-friendly, and functionalities and features are visible and easy to navigate. Registering a domain name is easy if we consider the case for Azure. Everything is processed quickly, and we can go live in a few hours if we urgently need to deploy the domain. The solution is available 24*7 is very reliable, as mentioned in the SLA.

Moreover, we did not face any downtime regarding the azure services, nor the user suffers any loss. The significant advantage is that it supports all record types, including Type A and many more. Mazor azure integration is possible, like integration with Azure AD and other products of Azure, so it is beneficial for the organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Filter and Search parameters need to be improved in Azure DNS. The primary control part never resides with the organization, and Microsoft Azure OEM manages it. This is a significant problem because sometimes we need major changes related to any new solution, and contacting them for help is a big task. The Technical support team takes time to resolve the issue. They must resolve the if the ticket is raised at the earliest because DNS is an essential feature for an organization. The solution is very costly as we can get many vendors with the same features on a low budget. Security facilities need to be improved as the protection method is limited, and the old encryption method is still used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You could have control over the DNS records. It is available for public as well as private DNS. You can manage all the records here. It's a PaaS service; you don't need to deploy a VM here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Azure DNS is managed service. Azure has not given all the control to us. On many occasions, you need this. This is the only disadvantage you have with Azure DNS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The good thing is, both domain purchasing and DNS management on the registered domain can be done from a single portal,

as this is a great brand name , it promises the reliability and quality part,

This helps the Azure based companies to manage all there cloud services under a one billing space

it supports everything that is needed in the domain management space and it supports all major record types as ipv4 A-record c-name etc ..

the user interface is simple and straight forward, with search etc ..

it also has a advance management portal which comes in a little cost i believe , Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the record set search can improve , like we try to enter IP or C-name , the auto suggestion can show-up, others are really good and i think if you need just a DNS management tool then you can try different cheeper service providers, in this case Azure might be little costlier for the small business Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Fast!

A big step up from registrar's DNS management.

Familiar Azure management portal, love it or hate it.

Managing everything about your web/cloud environment from a single pane of glass is killer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Difficult to justify cost, even if it isn't expensive.

The downside of the single pane of glass pro, is if there is an outage, you've put all your eggs in one basket. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Azure Portal itself is exquisitely developed and makes managing all resources a child's play. Azure DNS is no exception. You purchase a domain and get to manage all CNAME, A records from within the portal which is great. No additional external management required. It does what it's intended to do straightforwardly. It's great for those who want to bring everything under the Azure hood. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Advanced Management Portal (similar to GoDaddy) that's external to the Azure Portal comes by default with all domains and allows you to achieve pretty much all those tasks. Granted the nameservers aren't managed by Azure at all (the only drawback). However, Azure DNS comes at an extra cost and if you're looking to save money, it's not a feasible option for your business or project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1) The user interface is very easy to use.

2) It detects the change of ISP really fast.

3) The registration change is very fast, usually within 15 seconds.

4) Excellent operating time and performance, allowing a constant and fast resolution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can not be detected with an ISP that is having problems with the packets, so the company thinks it should fail and shouts at us, but in reality the ISP has not failed, so it could not be returned. It would be nice if you had a way to set the percentage of packet loss before changing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
