"The automation and manageability of IBM NS1 connect"
4.5/5
What do you like best about IBM NS1 Connect?

The automation and manageability of IBM NS1 connect are its most alluring features, the API-first architecture makes it simple for me to incorporate NS1 connect's features into my development processes, when compared to manually configuring DNS settings, this save a significant amount of time.

NS1 provide a number of features , including tutorials and customer support , to get up and start using it .

Also the ease of integration play a vital role since it is a cloud based solution so it is much easier to implement than on-premise ones.

With its emphasis on APIs, automation features and favourable user experieces, IBM NS1 connect appears to be a viable option for me so that we can use it frequently on daily basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM NS1 Connect?

There should be flexible pricing subscription as compared to open source or basis DNS management options,

Also relying on NS1 connect can lock for a certain duration of time, so migration DNS configuration is a small challenge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for dealing with cybersecurity problems"
4.5/5
What do you like best about IBM NS1 Connect?

I like the managed-DNS solution by NS1, mostly because of its URL forwarding option (URLFWD record). This is specifically helpful when dealing with a cybersecurity problem where you are somewhere between your domain provider, hosting company, and a DNS or security management platform.

My experience when I dealt with a cybersecurity problem was:

When I moved the website from the hosting company I was using and parked it with the domain provider the problem stopped. I was able to see this from the stats of the security management platform I was using.

This gave me a chance to figure out what the problem was, but the website was down. Being able to set forwarding from the domain provider with nameservers pointing to the security management platform would have been great but it was not possible. I was also not able to set up forwarding with the security management platform either.

In short parking, the domain, and pointing name servers to a security management platform, halted the problem but left the website down. And I was not able to set up forwarding from either the domain provider or the security management platform.

Using NS1 would be:

Point nameservers to NS1 and being able to access the DNS, see stats/queries by location, and then set up URL forwarding. This way a website would not be completely down while resolving a problem.

When I was going through the cybersecurity problem I had not come across NS1, I just came across it recently, but its a keeper. At that time I ended up with a site that was down for a long time.

I also like how NS1 shows queries. You can see activity at 30-minute intervals (almost in real-time) and you can set a filter to see activity over 1 hour or 24 hours, which is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM NS1 Connect?

Even though NS1 shows queries almost in real-time, the shortfall is that it does not show the URLs that are being requested. If for instance, you see that queries to a website are not as expected perhapse they are too high indicating that there could be a cybersecurity problem you are not able to explore this further by seeing the URLs that are being requested.

The other issue is that there is no option to add a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate.

I do appreciate that a more detailed view of web traffic and the option to add an SSL is something that you would get from a hosting company, but it would just be cool to have this in one place? NS1 would be a one-stop spot to fix some cybersecurity problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
