Recommendations to others considering PowerDNS:
Try and experience it yourselves. Although it may be a bit hassle to configure it for the first-timer, later on it will become clearer. If you want to have DNS service only, no other unneeded services (unneeded services such as email, FTP, file sharing - while web server and database are required if setting up PowerDNS with database and web-based frontend) then you should consider PowerDNS.

What problems is PowerDNS solving and how is that benefiting you?
At the time, I was using WHM as a DNS manager and was looking for DNSSEC functionality. DNSSEC was not supported in WHM, although using BIND as its back-end. There was a need to have DNSSEC at that time, so we found PowerDNS does have DNSSEC functionality and is able to transfer the signature to slave NS as well. WHM now supports DNSSEC functionality but is incompatible with DNS Clustering. Furthermore, WHM includes all unnecessary stuff and services, whereas we just want to have DNS management only. Obviously, WHM is meant for hosting websites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
