Azure DNS Reviews

We use it to connect to our networks from the AD side and resolve host names to IP addresses, identify machines available as per the main domain, and create CNAME records and alias lists in Azure AD.

I've found all of the features to be valuable because we are using it extensively. 

Moreover, Microsoft regularly notifies us about upcoming changes. They have a cycle of introducing features in preview mode before a global release, along with a specific timeline. This helps us stay well-informed.

I would like to see more integration with other platforms, improved stability, enhanced security, and better pricing because there is always room for improvement. 

We've been utilizing Azure DNS for approximately eight years since its inception.

It is a stable solution. 

It's highly scalable and provides very good features from Microsoft. We are satisfied with it.

The support is always good. 

The setup is relatively straightforward. The solution is deployed both on-prem and cloud. 

To deploy it, all you need is a domain name and the necessary preparations. Once you have that, you can begin creating DNS records.

We are using most of the features offered by Azure. We have multiple tools wrapped around it. We have a combination of tools within the organization, and we are content with the setup we have.

I would definitely recommend using the solution. It is a good tool. 

Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. It provides a wide array of features required from a technical standpoint. It offers a variety of capabilities, and they can confidently adopt it. Most of the essentials are readily available in Azure DNS.

Azure DNS is used for DNS forwarders and for cloud-native journeys.

The most valuable features of Azure DNS are the DNS forwarder and the DNS additional record editions.

Azure DNS sticks mostly with the Azure native solution and doesn't scale well in a multi-cloud or hybrid environment. A lot of functionalities are not available in the hybrid cloud.

A public DNS resolver should be included in the next release.

I have been working with Azure DNS for almost two years.

Azure DNS is a very stable solution, and I rate Azure DNS a ten out of ten for stability.

I rate Azure DNS a seven out of ten for scalability. Azure DNS's scalability is good and can scale even better for large enterprises. Our clients are mostly enterprise businesses.

Microsoft’s technical support for Azure DNS is very good.

Positive

Azure DNS's initial setup is very easy.

Just one engineer is required to deploy the solution within a few hours. Just one person is required for the solution's maintenance.

Azure DNS is a cheap solution, and I rate it a two out of ten for pricing. Azure DNS has a monthly licensing fee, and there are no additional costs besides the licensing cost.

We use the latest version of Azure DNS. Use Azure DNS if your primary journey is in Microsoft Azure. If you want to move to a hybrid or on-prem solution with Azure or AWS, try avoiding Azure DNS.

Overall, I rate Azure DNS an eight out of ten.

I am using Azure to host the DNS records.

I like the feature where I can add multiple DNS records for the same subdomain.

Domain registration is one of the problems. We need to go to application services or web apps to purchase the domain instead. If that were to be equivalent to AWS's Route 53 that would be good. But, it is not as flexible as that.

Also, there is no clear information on the functionality of Azure DNS or the features of Azure DNS. For example, there is no information provided on the DDI feature and whether it is available or not.

I have been using this solution for more than two years.

It is stable. We did not have an issue.

It is an easily scalable solution. I would the scalability a nine out of ten.

The support team is good. They support well and we don’t have to implement anything. Since we have a premium plan, the response time is probably less than one hour.

The initial setup is straightforward.

I deployed the hybrid version because the domains are posted somewhere, and I am using DNS on Azure.

I did the installation by myself as it is easy. 

The price is low and it's a reasonable price for that product.

I recommend the product to the users.

We use the solution to manage domains.

It is a robust solution.

They should include more integration with other platforms.

We have been using the solution for one year.

It is a stable solution. I rate its stability as a ten.

Our organization has five solution users and plans to increase usage. It is very scalable.

The solution's technical support team is responsive.

The solution's initial setup process is easy and takes a few minutes to complete. The technical teams for deployment consist of administrators, system engineers, managers, and developers.

We take help from a third-party vendor to implement the solution.

The solution's price is reasonable. We purchase its yearly license.

I rate the solution as a nine.

We use the solution to spare some names and domains from the host to another destination.

There are issues with the cloud systems. The Bank of Egypt restricts paying anything through the Internet in dollars. I set up an Active Directory on Azure and joined computers to it. This involved creating a domain controller on Azure and then using DNS to ensure smooth operation over the DC, allowing the controller to translate domain names into IP addresses.

I have been using Azure DNS for ten months.

Ten users are using this solution.

We contact customer support twice a week.

I faced issues with Microsoft, so I migrated my operating system from Microsoft to another platform, such as Linux.

Azure DNS is a compelling choice, where data protection is paramount across cloud platforms. While cloud systems offer significant advantages for small businesses, enterprises may find greater value in comprehensive admin integrations and robust DNS solutions to safeguard their data and operations. In this context, investing in a cloud platform like Azure seems to be the future for small and medium-sized enterprises. On the other hand, on-premises projects or data centers might become obsolete for specific industries due to their limitations in scalability and security compared to cloud solutions.

Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

We are working at a DSK and use Azure DevOps as we work in Azure DevOps infrastructure engineering. So we use various Azure services. We have migrated Azure services from on-premises to Azure Cloud and multiple services like microservices or application improvements or applications replacing Azure administrators.

The process of creating a virtual mission could be improved.

We have been using this solution for the past four years. It is deployed on-premises. 

It is a stable solution. 

It is a scalable solution. 10 to 15 people are using this solution.

The setup was not difficult.

I rate this solution a seven out of ten because it is a hosting service. However, I would recommend this solution to others.

We use the solution for some e-commerce sites that we use. It also integrates with our Kubernetes environment on Azure.

Azure DNS improves our integration with the Kubernetes environment. When we scale or increase our Kubernetes site, the tool updates DNS automatically. It saves us time and cost.

The integration with other services on Azure is valuable. We can create entries automatically by integrating other applications with Azure DNS.

The pricing must be made more clear. If I have multiple domains on Azure DNS, my billing is consolidated. I cannot see the number of connections and requests on each domain. The product must provide information on which DNS or application is consuming the most budget.

I have been using the solution for about two to three years. I am using the latest version of the solution.

I rate the tool’s stability a ten out of ten.

I rate the tool’s scalability a ten out of ten.

I did not need support.

Positive

We also use Amazon Route 53 and Cloudflare. We are consolidating our DNS services into one.

The solution is deployed on the cloud. The initial deployment was a little complex and a little straightforward.

The tool is a good investment.

I use Azure because I had used it previously in another company.

The product did not make any difference in our actual budget. If someone's cloud environment is on Azure, they can choose to use Azure DNS for managing their DNS. If they use Microsoft 365, integrating with Azure DNS will be valuable to them. Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

We use the solution to host IP addresses, sites like microsites. 

I would like to see more security features and protection. 

I have been working with the product for four years. 

The solution is stable. 

The product is scalable. 

I have used tech support only minimally. 

The solution's setup is okay. 

Consultants helped us with the solution's setup. 

I would rate the product an eight out of ten.
