About Constellix

DNS is no longer a simple point-and-click domain management service. It has evolved into a critical optimization tool for network administrators and DevOps alike.
?
At Constellix, we augment our managed DNS services with built-in network monitoring, health checks, performance monitoring, and query analytics. We ingest data from these sources and use it to optimize how traffic flows to your cloud services, data centers, and CDN services.

We provide enterprise DNS management and failover, load balancing, and GeoDNS. Some of the DNS management tools are traffic steering, sonar monitoring, and real-time traffic anomaly detection.

Amazing service, proven itself already!

Coming from their other product, DNSMadeEasy, This system is so much more intuitive and easy to use. It's a great, reliable product that really has been a life-saver on a couple of occasions with client projects.

Managed DNS with failover for high-availability web applications

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

I use Constellix DNS to enable DNS failover on critical domains. Any one set of infrastructure, be it a physical datacenter or cloud provider, can fail. For critical web applications, you need to have an independent system that is capable of monitoring your primary infrastructure, detecting failure, and switching to an independent secondary system. Constellix has proven to be reliable, easy enough to use, and affordable.

Cons:

It costs more than free DNS options, so I only use Constellix to manage domains for mission-critical systems. The user interface is pretty good, but some aspects could be improved-for example, you have to log into the "Sonar" monitoring interface separately from the DNS site, and the support site requires completely different credentials. Also, the notification of changes to be committed often doesn't update.

The login screen for 2FA is not intuitive. When you first log in, it takes 3 clicks to get into your last-used domain.

DNS made even easier

I needed an advanced DNS solution for a new SAAS product offering. DNS Made Easy is fine, but Constellix takes that platform to a higher level. I wasn't sure it would be right for me since my needs are less complex than many, but I was pleasantly surprised that this product scales from zero to hundreds or even thousands of domains. The transaction-based DNS editor is a lifesaver in case I mess up a change, and being able to stage all the changes and commit them all at once keeps everything tidy and prevents inconsistent DNS records. The Sonar site monitoring came in handy for a recent outage at a local Tier 1 provider and I took the opportunity to set up failover DNS, which was straightforward and worked as promised. 10/10 and highly recommended.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Value for money

Functionality

Pros:

Extremely powerful, extremely fast, and extremely reliable DNS provider that scales from one domain to hundreds, including custom failover/monitoring, helpful interface, reasonable pricing determined based on actual usage, and (critical) a transaction-based DNS editor with staging of changes plus commit and rollback.

Cons:

At times, a steep learning curve and a somewhat over-simplified interface that belies the complexity under the hood. Documentation is not always linked from each screen, requiring a separate search of the company's documentation.

Reasons for choosing Constellix

More advanced features and pricing based on actual usage.

Reasons for switching to Constellix

I needed an enterprise-grade solution for a new SAAS product offering and this was not met by my previous provider.

Constellix Is My Rock

We rely on Constellix heavily and they know that a lot of people are depending on them. It's very clear in their service models and how they've weathered all the bad stuff happening out there in the Cybersecurity sphere. They stay on top of the technology and it's appreciated!

Functionality

Pros:

Constellix continues to build some of the best easy to use services for a company of our size. We serve dozens of clients and depend upon Constellix to help us protect and serve them. Specifically we depend upon the Sonar services. The interfaces are very straightforward and easy to use. The pricing is fair and I have enough control that I can set my own service levels to manage my budget.

Cons:

The simplicity of the service belies how much complexity is under the hood. There must be 10,000 lines of code underneath the "go" button. In an effort to make it simple I think it's missing a few advanced features that could REALLY super-power the Sonar Service.

Great solution for DNS hosting -- easy to use, fast

We need to host between 50 to 100 domain DNS records. It was easy to get started and update records as they change. We've "dabbled" in geo-hosting (one of the features of Constellix) but currently don't need it for any clients we have.

Pros:

We switched from inhouse and another third-party ot Constellix for our DNS hosting. With Constellix we never have to worry about our DNS hosting going down. We don't use all the fancier features, but we've never run into an issue where Constellix couldn't do what we wanted. The pricing is very attractive also.

Cons:

Nothing really. There are a quirk or two on the configuration screens that you just have to learn. The documentation is good, but "who reads documentation". There is s slight inconsistency with Office 365 terminology and Constellix.

Best DNS system on the market

We have added failover servers to our technology stack, Constellix monitors the primary servers and if the primary server goes down, Constellix DNS will respond and point the DNS records to the failover servers. We have already had a couple of short outages and the system response as expected. Our users have not noticed the outages, which means our tech support calls has decreased.

Pros:

Everything in Constellix works just as expected, once you know how to configure the software Constellix can be setup very quickly. The team at Constellix are incredibly experience and professional, when you ask support a question you don't just get sent to a guide you get an exact step by step to fix you exactly problem.

Cons:

Some of the terminology Constellix use it proprietary and little confusing, but after watching a few videos we were able to configure the software the correct way. It took a few hours spread over a couple of days the first time, which we used for testing, but when we went into production, configuration took about 10 minutes.

Constellix Is Great

It is important that I know when my server is down, so I can contact my web host to get it fixed. Constellix helps me with that.
