What do you dislike about GoDaddy Premium DNS?

- Even though Premium DNS there are chances you will suffer from downtown incidents.

- Even without Premium DNS, GoDaddy offers similar functionality.

- Naked domain routing(for example "https://nakeddomain.com") for S3 static website is not supported in GoDaddy. I have shifted my nameservers to Route53 for the same. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering GoDaddy Premium DNS:

In most of the cases, you don't need premium DNS services.

DNS is a simple protocol, most registrars and web hosts can serve a large number of records. You will get a lot of basic tools without premium such as CNAME, MX, TXT etc If this is all you need to do, this will be sufficient for your needs.

Premium DNS services usually offer advanced features, such as unlimited domains, unlimited records, security based on application availability. These are beneficial when you're building complex/distributed/web-scale applications across multiple service providers and need to perform advanced DNS adjustments based on criteria other than simple records publishing.
