    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

    - For small teams serving big organizations - it's a really simple tool to install and set up relatively quickly. - the new installer is also great - I don't have to understand what modules need to be installed; it's all streamlined. - The HCO Licensing allows you to run the Additional polling engines at a scale where the previous licensing model didn't. We can deploy APEs in locations now, which would not have been worth the investment in previously as there weren't enough devices in that location/region to spend the $$$$ on an APE License.

    Solarwinds has the best overlap of the two others I've mentioned - the other two tools (Datadog and Dynatrace) are great in their own way but Solarwinds is just good at everything; if I had to pick one tool of the above, it would be Solarwinds for the compatibility and ease of use, the other tools are more focused on being great at certain things while Solarwinds is the jack of all trades.

    Screenshot of Our query reporting breaks down your usage by day for each of your domains and compares GeoDNS queries to your standard query usage.Screenshot of See which records are being queried the most in real-time! 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.
