Oracle Dyn Managed DNS vs. Vercara UltraDNS

For any company that needs a robust DNS service that can handle high QPS volumes without latency or lag, Oracle Dyn is the best that I have used. I can always rely on the backend infrastructure to ensure that DNS isn't a bottleneck for website performance. I have never had to open a support ticket for any issues and published changes to DNS records are nearly instantaneous across the globe.

I think it is best when you might need a lot of detail. I wouldn't suggest this for sharing with an end user.

• One of the best features is the interface. Whether you are using the expert or simple editor it is easy to figure out on the fly.
• We've found support to be extremely fast and knowledgeable.
• It is consistently one of the fastest responses to DNS queries.
• It uses role-based access to delegate as much or little access for users.

• As a relatively experienced engineer, I find the UI to be incredibly obtuse and counter-intuitive. I try and use the API for most things, but for some people that may not be an option.
• The user documentation is a bit hard to navigate. DNS in general is pretty simple, so this is a minor gripe, but it's hard to find specific info sometimes.

• I'm pretty happy with it as is.

I give Oracle Dyn Managed DNS's overall usability an 8/10. If you understand DNS then you should have no problem working with the Dyn DNS interface. It takes very little time to learn how to update and manage DNS for your domains. The DYN API is also easy to work with and they provide SDK's for most programming languages.

Haven't had a need to work with the support team and DYN to date. The system has always done what we needed and the support documentation is straightforward and has answered any questions that we have had. They provide updates if there are ever any issues in a timely manner and make sure everyone knows what is going on.

On a rare occasion that we call for support, more like a HOW-TO type of thing, it is a live person, prompt, courteous and knowledgeable.

As our organization had an ample amount of DNS to manage, it was quite inconvenient when it comes to Amazon Route 53 or any other alternatives as the change propagation time was pretty much high as compared to Oracle Dyn Managed DNS. And when it comes to the huge customer base and customer satisfaction, the organization has to be wise at choosing the right tools and the right tool which fitted our requirements was Oracle Dyn managed DNS.

We read reviews and had a demo. That suited us well.

• The service price is very competitive even for SMBs.
• Every outage costs money, and with Dyn Managed DNS, service uptime is 100%.
• You will most likely see a return on investment the same year if moving away for your own external managed DNS servers.

• I like their free offerings.
