    I view GoDaddy and Oracle Dyn as two ends of the spectrum. In full disclosure I'm a former employee at Dyn. GoDaddy DNS comes free with our domains and is nice and basic. A bit harder to use than CloudFlare, though. Dyn is fantastic but more than we need for a basic site. Plus …

    Chose Oracle Dyn Managed DNS
    I love both services, but for my personal use, I still like CloudFlare because of their SSL service and interface. In terms of managed DNS features, I don't notice a difference in features. My company uses Dyn, and I have no issues at all with it. It still serves our specific …

    We used CloudFlare for one of our domains because of their CDN. It also handled re-directs and the other usual DNS tasks. UltraDNS was the provider we used for a short time before Dyn. I didn't manage it, so I can't compare.

    We had Dyn DNS before Akamai and CloudFlare, so I didn't originally choose it. Because of the pricing, we'll probably move off of Dyn sooner.

    Dyn provided faster lookup times or more granular georouting than the other providers, also previous experience with Dyn in emergency situation make us appreciate their quick response times.

    Oracle Dyn Managed DNS is an enterprise solution for when speed and high availability combined with a lot of records/domains is important. It stacks up against the competition well in that regard. Others have a pretty and more intuitive interface and better pricing packages. …

    Oracle managed DNS becomes very heavy when there is an ample amount of DNS being managed. However, the DNS creation and updating takes very less time to propagate and is very easy to use. So, for an organization, where there is a modest amount of DNS to manage, it works very well and gives a splendid experience. So, considering the complexity of managing the DNS for an IT company Oracle Dyn managed DNS is the best option to opt.

    Cons
    Cloudflare
    • In some cases, using Cloudflare can actually lead to slower website speeds if the network is congested or if the website's traffic is particularly heavy.
    • Some website owners may find that the level of customization offered by Cloudflare is limited, especially in comparison to other solutions.
    • While Cloudflare is easy to set up and manage, it may be too complex for users who are not familiar with web technologies.

    Usability
    Cloudflare
    Everything is extremely concise and all settings apply immediately and take effect globally. There is no reason to explicitly plan/think in terms of individual regions as one would have to traditional cloud offerings (AWS, OCI, Azure). All Cloudflare products integrate seamless as part of a single pipeline that executes from request to response.

    Oracle
    • For the law firm its being used for, it keeps their remote users working. For law firms, time is money, usually every 15 minutes lost can be a big deal to them.
    • Sometimes it has switched when its not supposed to, and causes downtime. No real way to inform users when the switch is happening, it would be great to have an email alert we can not only send to ourselves but a notification to primary and technical partners in the firm so they don't have to yell at us like something is broken, instead they are aware it had to change.
