Enom is an excellent registrar if you have hundreds of domains to manage and maintain and want great value for money.
An ideal fit for the pro domainer who wants a no-nonsense management interface that lets you check and efficiently manage hundreds of domains in a few simple steps.
Support is excellent, especially if you hold an ETP (Enom Technology Partner) account. Enom will assign an account representative to personally service your needs.
Cons:
Features can be improved, the 2 most pressing ones are;
1. High security service option
2. Expiring date consolidation

Well, Enom is my first registrar when I first time buy domain. The price are cheap enough for reseller. It has easy user interface. The most feature that I like is free push to another enom account. Unlike another registrar, Enom don't put advertising when you push your domain. Yea, security issue needs to be improved.
eNom is good for the big time domain resellers, but for small domainers, the features are not amazing, and the prices are ok. I would prefer one of their resellers, such as NameCheap.
Enom is both easy to use and a great value. I would have given Interface a 10, but eNom has reciently changed thier layout to use dropdown menus which I don't really like.
Probably the most popular resellers registrar of all time. they make it very easy to push and transfer domains. Interface is fairly simplistic, but easy to use. Almost everyone in the domain business has an enom account.

I have a handful of names with enom. I generally register with GoDaddy because I'm a cheap bastid'.
eNom's infrastructure is first class. I've never had a technical issue with eNom and that alone is reason enough to pay a few dollars more (Spaghetti Western fan, I am) to register with them all the time, but, alas, I am a cheap bastid'!
I was actually paying retail for my .CN names over @ eNom for a while, until a NamePros member enlightened me to the fact that you only need to deposit $200 to become a reseller with them. I was under the impression that you had to deposit thousands in order to become an eNom reseller; needless to say, I became a reseller toute suite! Since becoming a reseller, I've used them quite a bit more these days, though I still have a bias towards GoDaddy (you know why.)
In summary, eNom is an excellent registrar with competitive pricing for their resellers. If they can find a way to undersell GoDaddy for the vast majority of TLD's, I think eNom could easily become the undisputed king of the domain registrars.
I have about 600 domains with enom, one with as many as 800 subdomains, all features most people ever need (instant DNS updating, e-mail forwarding, small web hosting for held domains etc). For the extra 1$ over the cheapest domains its well worth it purely to use their reliable diverse DNS servers.
great customer service and only a phone call away for emergencies or discrepancies!
instant updates for dns
club drop is nice feature, catch a name and it's right there in your account!
no need to do transfers from wacky registrars that don't speak english or hold your domains hostage!
closed my account with fraud charge, all domain were lost

This happened about 3-4 years ago. I had reseller account with enom, regged aprox 30 domains for myself and my clients. I used my CC, then CC of my wife to refill enom acc with money, domains was registered with false information in whois - domains was mostly adult, all adult stuff is still not legal here in Russia, no whois protectuion were available at that time. Enom locked my account (and all client's subaccounts) with a credit card fraud charge, I tried to email and phone them, offered to send my and wife's ID's to prove that i used legitimate cards to refill account - they answered a couple of times with 'please wait etc' , then just stopped answering my emails, situation was not resolved. Domains were still alive, but i could not change DNS and could not renew or transfer them (registrar lock) - so I (and my clients) lost all domains when they expired.
I was never notified/e-mailed that one of my domains was expiring tho my reg/admin contact is correct. Enom renewed/hold my domain without my authorization. My VISA was always declined when paying tho I have a very good bank/credit record. There's nothing special about this registrar IMHO.
