DNS monitoring vs DNS management
ZoneWatcher monitors DNS changes and alerts you to issues. Unified DNS lets you actually manage and edit DNS records across providers.
Real MSP Scenario: A client migrates their website to a new hosting platform but forgets to update DNS. Their site goes down. ZoneWatcher would alert you that something changed, but now you need to dig through client documentation to find which registrar hosts the domain, hunt for credentials in your password manager, and log into yet another dashboard. With Unified DNS, you skip all that. Open one dashboard, find the client's domain, update the A-record to the new host, done.
