CloudHarmony enables you to measure DNS query resolve time for a range of DNS services, including Akamai, Easy DNS, Google Cloud, DigitalOcean, NS1, IBM Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Neustar, Rage4 Networks, to name a few. Here is a snapshot of that test:
This test was run from Sydney, Australia. A similar test was performed back in February from the same location. Below is the performance comparison eight weeks apart:
DNS Query Time (ms) DNS Query Time (ms)
15-Feb 15-Apr
Akamai DNS 219 248.5
DigitalOcean DNS 149.5 157
Easy DNS 102.5 49.5
Google Cloud DNS 163 150
IBM Cloud 62 44.5
Microsoft Azure DNS 164.5 146
Neustar Ultra DNS 216.5 173
NS1 DNS 48 121.5
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure DNS 287.5 475
RAGE4 Network DNS 55 38.5
EasyDNS performed better by 51% of the two tests, whereas NS1 was worst off by -153%.
