Pros
I love that it is specifically focused on school features and usage instead of being strictly technology focused.
Lightspeed deployment was straighforward and supported the cariety of devices on our network. The filter is reliable and performance is very good.
We have found that we enjoy the product. It is very intuitive and we find that we now have greater control and visibility over what our users are doing online.
Cons
Most of the problems I deal with are allowing access to websites or blocking. Also, white listing sites to allow programs to function correctly.
No YouTube category filtering for iOS. Relies on the Relay app to be installed (we've had to prevent users from uninstalling apps).
It is hard to implement various syncing tools at the same time.
