IBM NS1 is an efficient, reliable and a cheaper DNS management service
What do you like best about the product?
In my work, I have used a combination of tools to handle dynamic routing, in case of Disaster recovery which adds an additional cost, for example AWS Global Accelerator and Route 53. While I can both manage my DNS and dynamic routing simply from one service i.e NS1.
What do you dislike about the product?
Does not have a sophisticated native monitoring tool. It’s needs to be integrated with 3rd party tool which adds an additional cost and technical burden.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
During the failover from Datacenter to Disaster Recovery site, one has to update the DNS records or has to maintain a global DNS, in case of failover. To maintain a Global endpoint, we need to have an additional solution, but NS1 fixes the need for third party solution and is natively integrated for dynamic DNS and policy management. One other use case for my business is its geo fencing solution. Generally an additional WAF is required for such feature but not anymore with NS1.

What do you dislike about the product?
The reporting and analytics could be more detailed, and integration with third-party monitoring tools can be improved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
