DNSFilter Features
Data Export
This feature enables clients to send DNS query data directly from DNSFilter to an external location. The external site might be a data storage, data visualization, or logging service, among other things.
Insights Reporting
It allows clients to study their DNS query data. Insights reporting gives as much insight as you need to identify abnormalities and learn more about your specific network.
Malicious Domain Protection
DNSFilter uses machine learning to evaluate DNS requests and determine if they are likely related to a malicious host. DNS queries are assessed, and attempted connections to potentially dangerous sites are stopped, offering a first line of security for individuals and corporate networks.
Remote Protection
It features Roaming Client software installed on a device that continuously operates in the background. It ensures that all device DNS queries are sent to DNSFilter, where they may be secured and filtered. It also embeds the device's identification in DNS queries.
Website Categorization
With this feature, DNSFilter helps identify individual threat markers and determine whether a site is likely to be a threat. It uses imagery-based anti-phishing and trains its machine to learn about upcoming threats.

“DNS FIlter - Easy to deploy and provides great peace of mind for companies with staff working at ho”

This can be set up and configured in under 20 minutes and is incredibly easy to use. The filtering and advanced features prevent newly registered websites likely to contain malware from being accessed. Content filtering is simple and whitelists can quickly handle anything that is incorrectly blocked. It is an inexpensive solution that offers great value.
Cons
There is very little not to like. I cannot say there was anything I disliked.
