Google Cloud DNS Reviews

Google Cloud DNS is a handy tool to manage website addresses, but there are good things and some things to be careful about.

Good stuff:

The global network they ensure to have a lowest latency as possible. And it's easy to use also they support DNSSEC which is great to have. Some competitors dont have that kind of feature.

They only support TLDs, don't have features such us traffic management load balancing, failover. It' better to have many supported domains so we can access more.

One problem i encountered is the limited set of top level domains support by the service This can be an issue if you need to manage domains outside of the supported TLDs. To solve the problem i used the complimentary dns service that supports the tlds i need to manage.

Manage DNS records easily and the protection of DNS infrastructure is best

UI and the setup is bit complicated and not user friendly

Good pricing structure and is very reliable.

Protects from

We can publish our records & zones at Google DNS without a burden of managing our own DNS servers.

Complexity in managing the Cloud DNS from its UI.

The main advantage I see in Google cloud DNS is, it is fast, reliable and the performance.

World class quality in end to end domain management for any enterprise business customer. Scaling with repsect to our requirement and can handle huge volume of request. Very much useful for business in all verticals dealing with all DNS related works. Advanced automated and simple User interface makes the work life easier.

Support system is sometimes slow due to SLA related agreements. Onboarding customer for first time creates more latency and then it will work smoother. Pricing system needs to more customizable as per customer use case.

Even for Non IT engineer, the platform is simple to use with easy admin experience. We don't need to remember process everytime, we can get easy spot on assistance from google itself. Customer briefing is easier due to enhanced GUI capabilities. Faster in action.

100 percentage availability with less latency. One of the best DNS solution available in current market which make use of google infrastructure for high quality service. Automatic scaling with increasing demand and end to end domain management. Overall a well sophisticated solution we need to register and manage our domains.

More user friendly GUI is needed while comparing with competitors. Integration with other cloud applications is not so smoother. Lack of public documentation for newly updated features. Enabling more security features will attract more customers.

I was able to access from anywhere in world using our anycast name servers. Autoscaling really helps me handling query volumes. DNS peering and forwarding is really good technique to easeness my work. Also container native cloud DNS provides in cluster service DNS resolutions.

It's very, very fast. As far as I know, it directly updates the 8.8.8.8 service, which is used worldwide as the DNS resolver. It is very easy to set up and use.

It's not easy to search when you have a lot of records. Multiple export and import are missing; alternatively, we should use the API to update multiple DNS records at once.

It reduced our DNS lookup time significantly. We were making our website a PWA, and load time was essential, and a lot of it was consumed for DNS lookup; once we moved to Google Cloud DNS from Bluehost, it reduced our DNS lookup significantly.

DNS mapping is made easy with A record sets and other options

Maybe a track of changes made to be stored somewhere

Using DNS mapping for services hosted on GKE to my wild-card entries.

Google cloud DNS have the best pricing structure, the fastest response time, most secure and reliable features. As it's infrastructure is supported by Google Cloud, which has 100% carbon free environment, it's also good for the earth too. We have full control on the DNS settings of our domain without using any 3rd party tool or service. Another feature that I like is, if we want to update any record in the zone, we can easily do that, and it propagates much faster than other DNS services.

There is nothing to dislike it fully, but still it lacks in some ways, like First time setup, managing or updating the records of the zone are a bit complicated comparing to another DNS services. Also, it's less user friendly in comparison to it's competitors.

We recommend to all of my review readers to try the google dns service as it is really fast and reliable. Yes, it's little bit confusing for setting up or managing for the first time, but after few times, you will become expert into it. Google Cloud DNS is fastest DNS according to my opinion and that is the must have from a DNS service provider.

We, at our organisation, use Google DNS for all of our DNS related needs. After using it continuously, we realized that it is fast and reliable as it's availability doesn't compromise. It could handle from small to largest amount of user simultaneously.

Google DNS is fast and stable. Compared to other DNS servers, I trust Google more because of its huge network. All types of records can be managed with helpful instructions for new admins. Easy IP management especially if you deployed in google cloud.

Because of its complexity, the front end interface is slow. Nothing else, everything is good.

All our other DNS solutions are now migrated to Google cloud DNS.
