ClouDNS vs ManageEngine Applications Manager: editorial side-by-side
ClouDNS

ClouDNS updates its WHMCS module with HTTPS and SVCB record support
◆ Current state
ClouDNS released version 1.9 of its WHMCS provisioning module, adding WHMCS 9 support, HTTPS and SVCB DNS records and new CAA parameters for resellers. Recent months also brought RapidSSL and Actalis certificates, Maintenance Mode for monitoring, and a steady series of new TLD accreditations.
◆ Where it's heading
ClouDNS keeps widening the services around its DNS core: certificates, monitoring and status pages, and now reseller tooling. TLD accreditations continue as routine catalog growth.
◆ Prediction
Expect more TLD accreditations and small additions to SSL and monitoring; nothing in the entries points to a larger shift.
ManageEngine Applications Manager

ManageEngine Applications Manager adds a batch of Oracle Cloud monitors in Build 182900.
◆ Current state
Build 182900 on 3 November adds monitors for Oracle Cloud API gateways and deployments, container databases, database systems, file systems and network gateways. It also lets REST API Sequence monitors import steps from Postman collections and OpenAPI or Swagger specs, adds MS SQL long-running query monitoring, and fixes a PostgreSQL SSL connection failure broken since build 179400. Build 182800 in October added GaussDB and APM Insight alarms.
◆ Where it's heading
Cloud coverage is arriving in large per-vendor batches: 15 Azure services in September, now a broad Oracle Cloud set. API monitoring is also getting easier to set up from existing specs.
◆ Prediction
Another cloud-provider batch is likely in a coming build, following the Azure and Oracle Cloud pattern; which provider is not clear from the entries.
