Support and communication have been great during setup and implementation
Allocating SRV based on geographical location using GeoDNS. This was primarily for a global VOIP deployment. We also use GeoDNS with A records to distribute different versions of websites according to the country which provides us some regulatory value and more direct marketing. It also allows us…

Constantly improving and adapting to customer needs
The effectiveness of Google Cloud DNS largely depends on where an organization stands in its cloud journey and its overall technology landscape. For those heavily invested in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and already embracing cloud solutions, Google Cloud DNS can be rated quite high, ranging from seven to nine out of ten.Deployment times for Google Cloud DNS can vary depending on the complexity of the infrastructure and configuration requirements. For straightforward setups and cloud-ready cases, deployment can typically be completed within a few minutes to an hour. However, in more complex infrastructure scenarios involving extensive configuration, deployment may take longer, possibly spanning days or weeks.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Support was outstanding when first setting up in trial mode and also after we had gone live with the product."
"Great performance, easy configuration."
"We have improved our flexibility to deploy web-based or DNS based solutions globally and deliver services more reliably."
"Tough to provide numbers, but avoiding downtime and calls from my employees when the VPN goes down was priceless."
"The tool is well integrated. We don’t need the interface of another provider. The product helps me manage my domain and write in Google Cloud."
"Google Cloud DNS continues to evolve based on customer feedback and technological advancements."
"The scalability is good."
"The most significant features are the internal and external endpoints using Google Cloud DNS, which are very beneficial for dependent apps."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The initial setup process is easy."
"It is a scalable solution."
 

Cons

"Compared to the other platforms, the interface is not as smooth, but the options and support help make that a non-issue."
"The email for each line change is excessive, perhaps if the change emails consolidated all changes per domain in a given hour."
"My only recommendation might be a better, more modern interface."
"Just to be able to import records with our current DNS product which didn't seem to work with importing domains using AXFR zone transfer records."
"The cost of using Google Cloud DNS can be relatively high compared to other options, especially considering the cloud environment."
"The UI is tricky to understand for people who have not worked with DNS records. People with little to no experience with DNS records can find it hard to understand. For example, you need to know the hallmarks to input records since they need to be matched in a specific format."
"The UX of the product is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The solution's price could be better."
"Migrating away from Google Cloud DNS can be difficult."
"More features around rules-based configurations would be beneficial."
"It needs to provide better integration."

"The cost of using Google Cloud DNS can be relatively high compared to other options, especially considering the cloud environment. I would rate it 6 out of 10.
