| Software Engineer at Abbott | 4.5 | I use IBM NS1 Connect for smart DNS routing and monitoring under heavy traffic, improving latency, automation, and uptime (about 40–45%) with strong ROI. It’s stable, scalable, and well supported, but needs better dashboard monitoring, fewer timeouts, and a friendlier UI. |
