    Pros
    Amazon AWS
    • Uptime - Route53 is highly performant and available. We have had only 3-4 instances in the last 12 years when we had any downtime or outages due to Route53.
    • Extensive API layer on Route53 that allows integration with external tools and SDK's (Boto, Terraform, etc)
    • Closely integrated with the other AWS services. Makes it easy to operate the infra.

    • Resiliency, they claim to have very little downtime and so far we haven't experienced any
    • ANAME Records, we haven't experienced any issues as IP addresses behind the target CNAME records have changed.

    Cons
    Amazon AWS
    • During initial setup when you are using Route 53 or DNS systems for very first time, there are little number of documentation from AWS which is kinda of little tough. But, once you get hold of it, its a cake walk for everyone.
    • Health checks are kinda of little costly when Compared to other big players, but that doesn't affect much when you compare its uses.
    • The logging is well structured though its costly

    Constellix Screenshots

    Screenshot of Our query reporting breaks down your usage by day for each of your domains and compares GeoDNS queries to your standard query usage.Screenshot of See which records are being queried the most in real-time! You can also filter historical query data by record type, name, location, or IP version. This tool is excellent for identifying traffic anomalies, like DDoS attacks.Screenshot of We offer a full suite of network monitoring services that we call Sonar. Sonar can be used as a standalone service or in tandem with our DNS services; like our Traffic Steering solution, which combines Real-User Monitoring data with synthetic monitoring metrics to inform traffic steering decisions in real-time.Screenshot of Version Control with Rollback:
Compare and revert the commit history of your domain. Each version contains an account of all record changes and gives you the ability to create historical domain recovery. If you make a mistake you are able to roll back to the previous. You can keep notes that are assigned to each committed change to keep track of your work overtime and compare up to two different commit versions side-by-side.
