| 114DNS | Users whose problem is closer to a common public resolver in Chinese-internet workflows | Chinese-internet and everyday public-resolution context are more visible | If the real problem is closer to a public resolver with stronger enterprise and security-policy context, this side becomes a misfit quickly | Low-medium | Best as the 114DNS path |
| OpenDNS | Users whose problem is closer to a public resolver with stronger enterprise and security-policy context | Cisco, enterprise, and policy-control context are more visible | If the real problem is closer to a common public resolver in Chinese-internet workflows, this side becomes less convincing | Low-medium | Best as the OpenDNS path |
| Separate roles before ranking | Users who do not want to flatten both sides into the same public-DNS label | Service goals, deployment context, trade-offs, and false-positive cost together | The workflow is longer, but it reduces shallow comparison sharply | Medium | Best as the final decision path |
