Didn't say anything was wrong with them per se. I'm simply saying that if I were them, I won't be happy with these poll results so far after all the money invested (or whatever) and the hype created. I remember back 1.5 - 2 years ago when almost every person on Domain Sherpa mentioned how sleek and shiny Uni was (granted Uni was a sponsor); their registrar was supposed to be a cut above the rest, a superstar among the regular players.
But after 2 years, it's a pity for them (imo) that everyday domainers don't think they are the best of the best. It's paradoxical to me that we're going for lil' ole Dynadot and Namesilo. Man! Looking at the poll, people even voting half-broken GoDaddy over Uni (half the times, I can't get GD to do what it needs to do on the back-end. For a big company, they really need to work on the backend. Geez!). Though I totally understand that when it comes to customers and sales, nobody can beat GD, to be honest.
I have an idea - maybe Uni software engineers should be outsourced to upgrade GD. Can you imagine?
I hear what you are saying, I think the subscription model hurt them, but their platform, and app is very easy to use, and I don’t think you will find anyone with issue with a functionality perspective.
Uni has some of the biggest accounts, with some of the best aged names. Of course they have access to all that data.
Many everyday domainers tend to vote for the lowest price, and lowest commission platform, which makes sense. Cheapest isn’t always best. I believe uni hurt a bit when tneubmos
Like I said relationship value says a lot much like Godaddy, and clients here who have a VIP account manager probably have a more favorable rating of such company, as they deflect a lot of account issues.

I believe uni went another direction when they implemented their susbscription discount model, they wanted a higher quality portfolio, they weren’t necessarily interested in the newbie type domainer, they wanted those aged quality .coms in their marketplace, and on their landers. They probably don’t have the largest support staff so that kind of solved that over burden issue, and with the old lead follow up, their brokers probably have a better sell thru chance with aged quality domains.
If you have a good quality portfolio the uni platform works, I wouldn’t worry about them given the aged quality of their own portfolio , and large domainer accounts like FMA they do ok, and are moving ahead. Maybe Godaddy would buy them out for the IP, and portfolio, and brokers, they seem to need the resources, and have the share equity to make buys.
