I really love how you can create and manage all of your load balancers from one central location. I dont have to worry about remembering multiple logins to manage my endpoints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is not made very clear how to get everything to work together, even following amazon guides dont really help make it any easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Route 53 offers all the features you need and most of the features you want for very reasonable prices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like a few more options in terms of routing decisions that aren't really expensive especially if you're not using an alb/elb Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Route53 makes it easy for me to manage multiple domains Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it can be hard to identify ALL the DNS names that point to a single IP Address. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Route 53 does a great job of combining ease of management with overall flexibility of the solution. You can accomplish basic tasks very easily, but you can also dig in and do really complex and really cool things like geographic DNS, load balancing, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's really nothing I dislike about Route 53. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the easy management of the DNS entries. Both in working with private and public zones are really easy and manageable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only inconvenience I have seen is the inability to search across multiple zones. But this is understandable and probably for the best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Route 53 has a nice easy to use UI. everything need is right in front of you. the abilty to have a single pane of glass for internal records as well as exteranl records it extremely helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the negitives I have with route 53 is the inabiltiy to use the same nameservers for our domains. with our registar we have options to steamline some of our internal processes that not being able to use the same group of nameservers hinders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how Route53 updates quickly, allowing me to make adjustments to our dns for different development environments quickly. Amazon provides API connectivity as well, allowing me to automate the process. After automation, we can use our continuous integration deployment software to automatically update all settings in Route53 quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have some domains that have hundreds of subdomains, and sometimes searching for a specific subdomain to adjust it can be quite slow. Additionally, the documentation for the API is quite sparse, sometimes outdated, or slightly confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Integration within the AWS ecosystem, ease of configuring new entries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You at least initially had to prefix C-name records with a period, which seemed odd to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Integration with the various LBs and other AWS services is fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lack of ability to easily export BIND-compatible zone files ... but I understand that’s because of the aforementioned weirdness that has to happen to allow integration with LBs and other AWS products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The health check feature makes the HA work better, and can avoid every instance failure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the GBR doesn't work well because sometimes it is based on the DNS server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
