What do you like best about MXToolbox?

My favorite part of using MXToolbox is our ability to check in on MX Records and A Records after we make changes to the DNS of a website we are launching. It allows us to make sure that we have pointed everything over exactly as we should. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MXToolbox?

I wish that there was a tool to easily look at past DNS Zone History easily and that does not seem to be there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MXToolbox:

Give it a try for when yo are trying to look up MX Records or DNS info on a domain name. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
