DNSFilter

Great DNS security product for endpoints and routers

Pros

We wanted a product that could be launched at the router level and DNS Filter provided that ability along with a very easy to use UI and dashboard.

Cons

At this point we have not found anything we dislike.

DNSFilter is easy, affordable DNS security

Pros

DNS Filter has been simple to use. We just partnered a month ago and installing it has been easy. There were a couple of minor issues but support is very quick to respond and resolve them.

Cons

Adding new clients to the portal generates a lot of unnecessary emails.

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

Pros

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.

Very promising but does not deliver

Pros

Getting it ready to run is easy to start and the dashboard looks good.

Cons

Fine-tuning is difficult and lacking in several areas. The useful extras are expensive. Customer support is not responsive at all. Be cautious with sharing credit card information during the trial period because they charge immediately and if you cancel you lose access to the service even if charged.

Great Product

Pros

I have used this service for several years after switching from a more expensive competitor. DNS Filter is very simple to use and maintain. I use it for three different networks. It is reliable performs well and the policies are very configurable. I do not currently use all the features they offer.

Cons

We began using DNS Filter when the pricing model was based on internet requests. They have since changed to a pernuser model which has recently made it more expensive for us. However the service still offers tremendous value for the price and is likely still less expensive than competitors. I did not even bother researching alternatives when our rates increased.

DNSFilter Internet Security

Pros

DNS Filter provides us with an additional always on internet security layer to help protect our customers.

Cons

There is no active monitoring. It would be nice to have a quick app to check network status.

Good Product with Better Functionality than Competitors

Pros

DNS Filter helps keep systems secure and monitored. Roaming agents allow the systems to be protected no matter where they are located.

Cons

False positive malware detections can be frustrating for customers who are not aware of the current IT security landscape.

Great Product, Awesome service

Pros

Ease of use, ease of implementation and ease of reporting.

Cons

Whitelabeling of the apps would be a nice feature to add.

Overall easy to use, little issues with reporting

Pros

It is easy to implement and has an easy to navigate GUI.

Cons

Reporting could be improved especially with more granular reporting per endpoint.

DNS Filter filled a gap

Pros

overall my experience has been great. We needed software to add web protection and this fits perfectly. We have only used the Windows deployments so far but I am happy to know that we can expand to various other setups if needed. It is protecting us and our clients from online threats we would not have otherwise known about. The software is lightweight but very effective and easy to use once familiar with the online portal.

Cons

The filtering can be a bit too strict. There may be an ad or link on the page that seems fine but the page wont open until you investigate further to find the issue. Whitelisting usually resolves that but sometimes it is hard to identify the culprit.
