Constellix DNS is well suited for people already familiar with DNS Made Easy but want more features. Constellix is especially good for people who need ANAME records

It is best when used in apps that need the highest performance levels and uptime. The traffic steering functionality and super fast DNS resolutions ensure that you can focus on the rest of the infrastructure. The system scales well, making it also useful when you have many records to manage.

Very intuitive interface right from the start. The layout of our domain structure and how to navigate couldn't be easier. We run reports which are simple to generate and use. When changes are needed the updates are straight forward and pushed out in the DNS world very quickly. Any modification we have thought about can be done with this product.

You can also filter historical query data by record type, name, location, or IP version. This tool is excellent for identifying traffic anomalies, like DDoS attacks.Screenshot of We offer a full suite of network monitoring services that we call Sonar. Sonar can be used as a standalone service or in tandem with our DNS services; like our Traffic Steering solution, which combines Real-User Monitoring data with synthetic monitoring metrics to inform traffic steering decisions in real-time.Screenshot of Version Control with Rollback: Compare and revert the commit history of your domain. Each version contains an account of all record changes and gives you the ability to create historical domain recovery. If you make a mistake you are able to roll back to the previous. You can keep notes that are assigned to each committed change to keep track of your work overtime and compare up to two different commit versions side-by-side.
