We performed a comparison between Azure DNS and Google Cloud DNS based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Managed DNS solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."What I like about Azure DNS is that it doesn't have any issues and integrates quickly with other products. It has good integration, which is incredible. I also like that whenever you deploy private links and endpoints, Azure DNS gives you the option to select the Azure native DNS, private DNS, or go with the Azure custom DNS. It depends, but if you don't have any dependencies on the DNS, then, like many customers, you won't have DNS issues. Azure DNS is a very good solution that helps you with domains and other resources."
"The speed of the queries is valuable."
"One of the key benefits of Azure DNS is its integration with other Azure services. As it is a solution developed by Microsoft, it is easy to integrate with other Azure offerings. Azure DNS also includes Defender for DNS, a feature that protects against anomalies and threats on the DNS. This added security is provided directly by Microsoft. The integration and security features of Azure DNS make it a valuable option for users of the Azure cloud platform."
"We use the solution to host IP addresses, sites like microsites."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a stable product."
"It is a scalable solution."
"From a security perspective, Microsoft is much better than other cloud providers."
"The DNS resolution is the most valuable feature."
"It is a scalable solution."

"Google Cloud DNS continues to evolve based on customer feedback and technological advancements."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The scalability is good."

"Migrating away from Google Cloud DNS can be difficult."

"The UX of the product is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
