I use UltraDNS to check on dozens of domains that I manage or work with on a regular basis. I also have most of those domains on a scheduled 'Health Report'.

The reports are far more complete than any of the other DNS lookup I've used.
Breaking out warnings and errors is very helpful.
I like keeping a list of domains for quick checkups if a client is detecting a problem.

We use it as the authoritative DNS for all our external domains. A, PTR, MX and TXT records.

Usage reports could be more intuitive. I'd like to be able to schedule periodic reports with drill-down capability.

Positive only. We do not Have to deploy our own solution and maintain it with all necessary upgrades and security fixes.
