"Perfect DNS server with Easy Setup"

4/5

What do you like best about DNS Server Windows 2019?

I used the previous version of the Windows DNS server but The Windows 2019 DNS server has good performance and an easy setup process over previous versions. The Response Rate Limiting (RRL) functionality is very good as you can limit the response rate and avoid DDoS attacks on the DNS server. The new PowerShell cmdlets are available for easy configure and use. It is more secure if a man-in-middle attack occurs to current the DNS cache D.A.N.E. (DNS base Authentication) system prevents it. The Microsoft Support is also good, So overall it is good for my organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
