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.
PROSExtremely 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.
CONSAt 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.
Reason 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.

Handles DNS
Constellix does what we need. It offers multiple account managers with multi-factor options.
CONSThe login screen for 2FA is not intuitive. When you first log in, it takes 3 clicks to get into your last-used domain.
Reason for choosing Constellix
The pricepoint was better.

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.
PROSWe 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.
CONSNothing 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.

Managed DNS with failover for high-availability web applications
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.
CONSIt 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.
