We can prevent access to various software and web pages from the office Internet by using browsing control. It enables you to block specific URLs for security reasons.
It is a complete tool for all network control tasks, security and device usage in the organization. It is easy to update and import settings from one user to a new user. It can be programmed to allow or deny Internet access at various times and devices.
The management software is a bit slow at times.
Thank you for your review, Karen! Great to hear that proliferating security policies between user groups has been easy. We're always looking for ways to improve our products; keep an eye out for client connectivity enhancements in future releases!

Overall, BrowseControl is an excellent web filtering solution for businesses of all sizes. It offers a wide range of features that make it easy to configure and manage the system. However, the cost may be prohibitive for smaller organizations with limited budgets.
BrowseControl is an excellent web filtering solution that provides a comprehensive range of features to help businesses keep their networks secure. It has an intuitive user interface that makes it easy to set up and manage the product. The filtering rules are highly intuitive and customizable, making it easy to configure the system to meet the specific needs of the organization. Furthermore, the reporting and analytics features provide invaluable insight into user browsing activity, making it easy to monitor and enforce web usage policies.
The main downside of BrowseControl is its cost. While the product is fairly priced for the features it offers, it may be too expensive for smaller businesses with limited budgets. Additionally, some of the features are a bit tricky to configure, so it may be beneficial to have a dedicated IT team to manage the system.
Thank you for your review, Javier! Great to hear that you're using BrowseControl in tandem with our computer and internet usage monitoring software BrowseReporter.

The system works very well. Features like being able to provide a custom block screen are great. Being able to rename the system from the actual PC name helps to better identify the system in the admin interface. You can create a custom installer for client systems. It's easy to update the client settings, and to import settings from an existing client to a new one.
The software is easy to distribute to client systems.
The administrative software can be slow and a little bit cumbersome. The list of systems is missing a search or an easy way to filter the full list of installed systems. This may have changed with the newer web based interface.
Thank you for your review, Ethan! I'm happy to report that the new web console includes a PC/User search function to make management easier. Feel free to check out the live demo to see the search function in action: https://www.currentware.com/demo/

BrowseControl has been a great tool for our organisation due to the enhanced security that it provides because of which we are protected from the phishing, the online threats by blocking access to potentially harmful websites. We can prioritise business-critical applications and control the bandwidth usage, which ensures that essential tasks are not affected by excessive non-work-related web traffic. The tool is very user-friendly and the filtering rules are highly customisable which is something that I really like.
Initial setup can be made easier. Apart from that, I did not encounter any downsides and really liked the platform.
Thank you for your review! I appreciate your feedback about the initial setup process. Alongside our self-service onboarding guide, knowledge base, and instructional videos our support team is available to assist you with anything you need during your time as a CurrentWare customer.

It has powerful security monitoring tools that detects threats that can affect workflows. It has blocked many ransomware attacks that could destroy confidential data and expose company secrets to third parties.
The cyber attack response automated system safeguards our data from malware attacks. BrowseControl provides real-time insights on security situation from workloads. It has simple configuration procedure with other applications that saves time and resources for entire implementation process.
I have not discovered performance weaknesses from the operation protocol of this platform.
Thank you for your review, James! Happy to hear that BrowseControl's web content categories are effectively blocking access to malicious and high-risk website in your network. We'd love to hear more about how you identified that a ransomware attack was attempted and precisely how BrowseControl prevented the infiltration—can you provide some more details for us?
