SafeDNS web content filtering service Reviews

Brett P.

Advanced user of SafeDNS web content filtering service
★★★★★
SafeDNS-Easy To Use, Affordable

What do you like best?

Ease of use. We are a Secondary Education School. Many students and staff to keep safe and focused. White & Black Listing, Content Filtering are all a snap with this product. Very simple WebFiltering. No internal servers to maintain, No scripting or programming. All very user friendly screens and solid support.

What do you dislike?

For our Educational Environment it is hard to find a dislike. I guess it would be nice if it was a free service. Being a private school, we are constantly being squeezed to hold to a very tight budget. A few years back, we used OpenDNS which was free. When that came to an end, we had to find another option. SafeDNS was the easy solution. It ended up being more affordable than the "new OpenDNS" and works just as well for us.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

As a school, you may not have full time personnel that can be maintaining and playing with bandwidth flow all day long. This is a quick, affordable solution that you can set and forget. Outstanding solution for a company that can't afford to pay full time people to deal with internet security

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

We are a secondary school. There are obvious sites that are dangerous or damaging to our students academic success. SafeDNS prevents connection to these sites. Provides us useful reports. The results are that we are running a much healther network with less virus activity and more directed study. The webfilter has become a necessity to the operation.
