Eh...Normally Outclassed by Emrakul

Good thing Emrakul is banned (In some formats)

OT: "Worst" of the Titans, but still pretty damn good. The whole "When you cast" clause has its advantages, but it doesn't allow for as many Quicksilver Amulet shenanigans...
But Kozilek and Emrakul are usually better.

I like this more than Kozilek.

Indestructibility is a lot better than most people give it credit for. Hence I believe this one is better than kozilek. Kozilek just feels so easy to get rid of.

Not really Indestructibility can't compete with the most common ways of removal ATM (Forced Sacrifing, Bouncing, Exiling, -1/-1 Counters) Also Kozilek help itself at being Undercosted...

It depends on which format you play that depicts which form of removal is dominant. In EDH (where I see Ulamog getting the most play), the most common removal is board nuke, which is almost always "destroy". White decks use Condemn, Oblation, Arrest effects and occasionally Oblivion Ring, Blue has Rite of Replication, Bribery, and Mind Control effects, and Black has its Sun's Zenith (if enough mana is pumped into it), but overall there are few other "EDH viable" ways of dealing with Indestructibles than by using Vows (and that doesn't really get rid of it as much as temporarily direct its attacks elsewhere).
in my experience, the person who causes everyone's loss is usually either the person who entwines Tooth and Nail for an Ulamog and a Terastodon, or the person dumb enough to run Blightsteel or Ulamog against Blue decks.

Do note: everyone who runs an Eldrazi at my locals run ulamog, not Kozilek. Kozilek gets destroyed by board nukes; this doesn't.

Youre just waiting to be Bribery'd by TWO Blue players, or a Blue player and someone with Fork/Reverberate/Wild Ricochet.
At my locals, we don't really run really big creatures since Bribery is too stupid. Then again, at my locals, EDH is like Legacy but instead of CMC 2-3 bombs, we have CMC 6-7 bombs. I even use Mental Misstep at my locals because of how much the EDH is like Legacy; it proves itself to be very helpful.

What general do you run for those Eldrazi? Green?

I've rarely seen Bribery played, but I get what you're saying.

I run INtet as my General, since the deck is Red/Blue/Green (Or as I like to call it, RUG)
