It allows us to manage DNS records dynamically and in real time.
IBM NS1 Connect Improved Our Global Traffic Stability
What do you like best about the product?
We’ve been using IBM NS1 Connect to manage our global application traffic, and it has made a noticeable difference in overall stability.
What do you dislike about the product?
Complexity and learning curve
The platform’s powerful “Filter Chain” system and its advanced steering policies are often seen as challenging for beginners or smaller teams to learn and use effectively, especially without significant network expertise.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Increased uptime and reduced latency are key benefits. DevOps efficiency also improves through automation via APIs (Terraform, Ansible).
Global resilience is strengthened by a 100% uptime SLA and 26 global PoPs, helping ensure applications remain accessible even during massive DDoS attacks. Cost control is another advantage, since organizations can optimize multi-CDN and multi-cloud usage based on real-time performance data and contractual commitments.
At the same time, there are clear limitations and risks with more traditional approaches. Static routing limitations mean traditional DNS relies on fixed rules that can’t account for real-time network congestion or ISP outages. Single points of failure are common when organizations depend on a single cloud or CDN, which increases vulnerability to major regional outages. Manual deployment risks also matter: managing global DNS records by hand is slow and error-prone, especially during rapid deployment cycles. Finally, performance inconsistency can occur when users in different geographic regions experience different latencies depending on which server they are routed to.
