A very good service which fits my needs. A matching compainion for my firewalls.
What do you like best?
As a system integrator I'm constantly looking for flexible solutions to suggest to my customers. I like the fact Flashstart Webflters can be used with a wide range of router and firewall brands. I'm a certified Mikrotik professional and with this product I can improve dramatically my Routerboards security features with no further effort. Moreover the possibility to integrate these filters to an existing Active Directory Domain structure is just great. In my opinion they offer the best in SMEs and Public Administrations because they can be adapted to preexisting infrastructures reducing the costs, but I'm starting to use them in larger environments as well and the performances are just as good.
Support is also very good and realiable, they often organise useful webinars (non just commercial ones) and I'm really happy with my personal consultant, they anser in no time and reall y try to solve your problems.
What do you dislike?
They could probably improve the backend website, some features are slightly counter intutive but still not a big deal.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want just give a try, it's free and support is great.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
Most of the firewall I use in my setups lack af a proper IPS (intrusion preventions system) Flashstart Webfilters just add a fundamental security layer in no time.
