NS1 has provided our company great management of our domains!
What do you like best about the product?
We have really enjoyed NS1's smart application control that is applied to our domains. As a large company, we have multiple domains and the ability to align the settings and DNS across each is amazing.
What do you dislike about the product?
Overall we have really enjoyed the NS1 platform and it gets the job done, but at times it seems the platform is outdated or does not always meet the visual needs or metrics we need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
They are solving the DNS and traffic configuration policies we want to ensure consistency across the board. It allows consistent security policies and ease of management for global changes.
NS1 experience from DynDNS
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use interface. Logically laid out and solid API interface with through documentation
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing is a little on the higher side especially if you're unable to leverage all of the features
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing externally facing DNS and offloading vanity domain redirections outside of our datacenter
Easy to use and fits both small and large businesses
What do you like best about the product?
We were initially worried about using NS1 as we expected the price to be too much for a business that is not yet focusing attention on its DNS. NS1 was able to come around and provide an agreement that was perfect for our light usage.
What do you dislike about the product?
We find nothing we dislike since the product is so solid. I would like to see SSO on the lower-tier plans, but it is not the world's end. We used to have issues with the login experience and frequent logouts, but things have significantly improved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
NS1 is helping us solve a simple problem. We have multiple domains, yet only one leading brand site having the ability to forward all domains to a single domain is such a simple yet awesome thing. We also enjoy seeing the geographic zones of users visiting our sites.
Easy to access and make changes
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of navigation in order to make changes to our records.
What do you dislike about the product?
Reporting was not as details as I might have liked.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ease the configuration burden at the same time making changes easier to implement.
Fast response NSONE
What do you like best about the product?
It works very fast. Once a DNS entry added, nearly immediately I can see this propogated by pinging the URL and it has successfully resolved to my target IP already, so this is very fast.
What do you dislike about the product?
In general there is not much downside of this. If anything, I can only say that for CNAME, it is a bit tricky and need to read carefully the instructions to find out how to set CNAME on it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
DNS resolution and we have a lot of Domain names and we frequently need to update these DNS, so the benefit of NSONE is on its speed of the DNS to be effective.

Benefits- Fastest speeds, highest uptime, highest ROI
NS1 - fantastic service - super easy to automate.
What do you like best about the product?
I use a mix of Azure resources and home network resources - where my IP address changes every month or two. NS1 takes care my needs perfectly in both use cases. They have easy to use automation so I can keep my system up to date when my home IP address changes. Manual changes are also easy to do - their web UI makes it easy to add/update/delete all of the various record types as needed. I absolutely love not having to use the DNS services that my domain provider makes available - makes changing domain providers super easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't found a single issue that fits my dislike list. Even when I have had issues, customer service was right there to help iron things out. Makes choosing a DNS service provider an easy one.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Domain and DNS service separation as I mentioned above - makes it very easy to use different domain name services while still getting great DNS services - this makes it easy for me to choose the lowest price for domain name purchasing and not compromising DSN services.
NS! for Automation solutions
What do you like best about the product?
Support is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and the prices are reasonable. All forms of DNS entries and configurations, including ALIAS records, are supported. Customer service is quite quick to respond.
What do you dislike about the product?
Free tier is a little stingy. I understand they need to make money, but I would have preferred to see 1 million queries each month under the developer plan instead of 500k. On average, one question occurs every 3 seconds.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Servers that are always available and excellent customer service. Furthermore, their DNS is published faster than my registrar's DNS.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Reliable hosting, reasonable pricing, and excellent support

I have been hosting since 1997 and NS1 the best I have come across. 24/7 support, reliable servers, fair pricing. What more can you ask for?
What do you dislike about the product?
New Cpanel pricing. This is not to be blamed on NS1.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fast support 24/7 in plain English.
