Likelihood to Recommend	[G-Core Labs] provides a very good service and the price is a lot lower than in other companies! During the whole time of our work with them, no problems arose. I am especially pleased with the efficiency and professionalism of their support. Very user-friendly and intuitive interface. No intrusive ads or pushing for additional services. We stopped receiving complaints from our clients and we believe this was the main problem that we managed to solve with the help of G-Core!

Pros	No answers on this topic	Makes for a fast website loading. Enhanced the user interface. Economical cost. It is the best RUL. DNS response time. Routing the base location of the user. Incentivized Vivek Singh Sr Executive QA Read full review
Cons	No answers on this topic	Learning materials depicting flows that can help users who are completely new to networking Pricing can be more transparent I feel UI is a bit complex to adapt, especially for new users, it should be made more intuitive Incentivized Lokesh Pandey Servicenow Consultant Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	The interface can be better. As of now, it is a bit difficult to manage multiple records at the same time or to test the rules effectively. The data reporting is also not as great as we expect with tools of today’s maturity. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	No answers on this topic	IBM NS1 Connect and Amazon Route 53 are both DNS (Domain Name System) services, but differ in their focus and strengths. IBM NS1 Connect is a cloud DNS service designed for complex traffic routing, application performance, and reliability, while Route 53 is a more general-purpose DNS service offering domain registration, routing, and health checks, often used within the AWS ecosystem.

Return on Investment	With their plans we've had huge cost savings. I used to use Cloudfare and they don't compare to G-Core Labs Kamran Imamguliyev CTO (Chief Technical Officer) Read full review	The cost was reasonable for a solution that is well known Having hosted DNS saves us money on maintenance Reports give us critical insight into our domains and how often they are used.
