Compare Azure DNS vs. Control D

Utilize Azure DNS to host your DNS domains within the Azure environment, allowing you to manage your DNS records with the same credentials and support agreements as your other Azure services. This integration facilitates the smooth alignment of Azure-based services with necessary DNS updates, thereby enhancing your overall deployment process. The Azure DNS Private Resolver, currently in preview, offers a cloud-native, robust, and DevOps-friendly solution. It delivers a straightforward, low-maintenance, and secure DNS service for resolving and conditionally forwarding DNS queries from a virtual network to on-premises and other target DNS servers, eliminating the need for a custom DNS setup. Furthermore, you can resolve DNS names within Azure DNS private zones from your on-premises networks, as well as handle DNS queries for your own domain names. This capability ensures that your DNS infrastructure operates privately and integrates seamlessly across on-premises environments, which is essential for implementing critical hybrid networking scenarios effectively. Through this service, businesses can enhance their operational efficiency and streamline their network management processes.

Control D is a customizable DNS filtering and traffic redirection platform that leverages Secure DNS protocols like DNS-over-HTTPS, DNS-over-TLS and DNS-over-QUIC, with support for Legacy DNS. With Control D you can: block malicious threats, block unwanted types of content network wide (ads & trackers, IoT telemetry, adult content, socials, and more), redirect traffic using transparent proxies and gain visibility on network events and usage patterns, with client level granularity. Think of it as your personal Authoritative DNS resolver for the entire Internet that gives you granular control over what domains get resolved, redirected or blocked.
