Until and unless without integration of other AWS Services/compared to multiple tasks done by another service, Route 53 lags with the main functionality as DNS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Signed up for evaluation purpose, given the experiences with Amazon I never had doubts, ever. Unfortunately AWS isn't average consumer service, critical KBs are not all available or localized. Therefore I decided to terminate the service and end up the evaluation, and it took me two months submitted different tickets to query how-to. No support team would not enable nor disable services you initiated by accidents, support only provide standard practice that may not even work... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Route 53 is integrated right into AWS, so it is easy for developers and DevOps people to use without changing platforms/products. It also supports the full range of DNS options - A and CNAME and so on as usual, but also SRV and other things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface is a bit basic, especially for DNS options like TXT which can be multi-valued. In AWS you get a multi-line text editor with a limited width so its a little unintuitive and a little constrained when trying to do things like edit SPF records, add verification records for Google webmaster tools, or things like that.
