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…

It's easy to use and set up, but I've faced performance problems
I have experience with Quad9 and most other filtering solutions. Quad9 was working well initially, but it started slowing, so I switched to OpenDNS. I recently checked Tom's Hardware, an IT review site, and read a review of seven DNS filters. Open DNS was ranked the fastest, and Quad9 was second. Google was on there too, but they said it didn't filter enough.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have improved our flexibility to deploy web-based or DNS based solutions globally and deliver services more reliably."
"Support was outstanding when first setting up in trial mode and also after we had gone live with the product."
"Tough to provide numbers, but avoiding downtime and calls from my employees when the VPN goes down was priceless."
"Great performance, easy configuration."
"Setting up Quad9 is straightforward if you know what you're doing, and it's easy to use overall."
"The most valuable feature of Quad9 is that it is a free solution."
 

Cons

"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 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."
"Compared to the other platforms, the interface is not as smooth, but the options and support help make that a non-issue."
"It used to work fine for all the devices, but it started to slow and become non-responsive. I would have to reload the page two or three times before all the pages loaded. With OpenDNS, I only need to load the page once."
"Quad9 could improve by having more free features, such as custom DNS filtering."
