"From Scratching the Surface of NS1 -- the IBM Company"

3/5

What do you like best about IBM NS1 Connect?

Providing a service that could take work done in a week by a professional

Very Straight, thorough Support Pages and price plans

Keep track of DNS lookups and traffic flow control using DNS

Resolves the issue of Public DNS problems Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM NS1 Connect?

Support Communication and customer service are not right there for customers

No Prices visible on the price plan page

No images nor downloadable demos for the product, even though it's made for On-premise solutions

Firewalls are great for providing access and monitoring over networks and using DNS feature to apply that might affect the speed, reliability and functionality of the DNS actual function

Technology for having a private DNS or managed DNS is already applicable by multiple OSs and Cloud Service providers, why create a project out of that except for Premise Clients Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM NS1 Connect solving and how is that benefiting you?

Every Operating system has the capability of having a self-managed DNS Server, it decreases the effort for a company, offering more traffic control or monitoring, yet it might cause other issues for being standalone and not publicly having DNS records databases; it could be best used as mentioned for Private on-premise companies if they are luxurious enough to buy such service, but I believe it would be more beneficial to get a higher standard service for fastest DNS, Secured DNS, not a manageable one or a one that is capable of traffic monitoring Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Well developed GUI and API"

5/5

What do you like best about IBM NS1 Connect?

What really impressed me about NS1 is its robust API. Not only can you easily add/delete/modify DNS entries, it also handles complex configurations and user management. Using the API we are able to make hundreds of DNS changes daily on over 1000 domains. It's low latency and high reliability gives us the peace of mind so that DNS is not something we need to worry about. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM NS1 Connect?

The only downside i've seen is the GUI doesn't always update after a lot of usage. I would like to see a little more granularity in the changelog API to filter on a zone or user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"NS1 - fantastic service - super easy to automate."

5/5

What do you like best about IBM NS1 Connect?

I use a mix of Azure resources and home network resources - where my IP address changes every month or two. NS1 takes care my needs perfectly in both use cases. They have easy to use automation so I can keep my system up to date when my home IP address changes. Manual changes are also easy to do - their web UI makes it easy to add/update/delete all of the various record types as needed. I absolutely love not having to use the DNS services that my domain provider makes available - makes changing domain providers super easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM NS1 Connect?

I haven't found a single issue that fits my dislike list. Even when I have had issues, customer service was right there to help iron things out. Makes choosing a DNS service provider an easy one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
