Pros

This is most important - they are continually improving their SW to be best on market and help their customer. They do their business very well - so we may do our safe and protected.
The antivirus solution from ESET is currently the best on the market. It is more expensive, but you get perfect protection for your money.
I feel better knowing it's running. Has great features as well to make me more protected and backed up.

Pros

We have been looking for a good web-filter with a limited budget, DNSFilter offered a better, easy software to use and a perfect price for us.
Great functionality, easy to use, easy to configure and manage. This software helps keep our systems safe and has increased employee productivity.
Filtering at a great price, It is easy to setup and select the filters you need for that particular site and I love the branding feature.

Cons

It didn't seem to help us against modern threats and anomously and machine learning threats. Deep dive into process trees was missing.
Occasionally we will have a problem with security updates in Outlook. This can cause the Outlook plugin to not start.
The licensed to purchase this software is a bit troubling. It does give your license keys.

Cons

Its sometimes hard to determine the cause of a problem (ie, SMTP mail failures due to false positives by DNS Filter).
Lack of transparency when choosing a particular category to block.
Lack of detailed reporting that can be exported to.

Security and reporting

Pros

Its quite easy to use and the dev team has a great plan for the future. They are actively listening to their customers and I personally hope to increase my 'Features and Functionality' rating to 5 in the near future!

Cons

Some of the missing features specific to my business, and the adaptation of the service in our business was slightly difficult. Its sometimes hard to determine the cause of a problem (ie, SMTP mail failures due to false positives by DNS Filter).

Additional security through DNS filtering and employee safety online.

Pros

The service is stable and the pay for what you use price structure is way more attractive than other competitors. It's easy to setup and has lots of features to restrict websites and block threats.

Cons

The whitelist/blacklist adding additional urls was confusing at first because it wasn't clear to me that I had to click a button to add another text box to type in the next url I wanted to add. Then click save.

Business Review

Reviewed 6 years ago

I wanted to increase the security of our business

Pros

The software has a nice dashboard and is easy to configure

Cons

Currently we had MARCS updater update our Dynamic IP address to DNS O Matic which then pushes that to CloudFlare, our domain registrar to update our remote host-name. When switching our DNS servers to DNS filter instead of CloudFlare's public DNS it caused the MARCS updater to frequently flip flop between our real Public IP and some other IP. When we switched it back after a few days of this it was fine again.

Overall, it fits our security needs for our students and our budget! Great service and product!

Pros

I loved that it was quick and easy to set up and "install". The weekly reports help keep our students safe and the faculty aware of nev'r-do-well activity. It gives our faculty, me and our parents an assurance that we are looking out for their student's best interest.

Cons

At first it was difficult to figure out where I could access the specifics of the weekly report. But after simply responding to the report email , I received an answer that was mostly helpful.

Overall, my experience with DNSFilter has been positive. I would recommended the product.

False positive malware detections can cause frustrations with customers who are not aware of the current IT security landscape.

Fantastic additional layer of security

Reviewed 3 years ago

Overall DNSFilter has been a great additional to our security layer protecting us from malware and viruses before they have a chance to enter our network. The added ability to block certain categories is additionally hugely beneficial and aids in increased productivity for our organisation.

Pros

From sign up to deployment was only a matter of minutes. We now have an additional layer of protection and insight into what sites staff are using. In addition to our standard antivirus and firewall technologies this solution with DNSFilter helps us better manage our remote devices as well and ensures our fleet is protected even now with remote working becoming the norm.

Cons

No real cons though it'd be good to see the reporting capability further improved whereby we could get scheduled reports based on user activity.

Layers of Security

Reviewed 6 years ago

We use DNSFilter at our clients sites as part of a standard "Border" security set. It is used along side Hardware Web Filtering, Malware/AV scanning, etc. It is great to add as an additional layer, as well as having the client software on roaming laptops help us protect these devices when they are on the go!

Pros

Ease of integrating into customer sites.

Cons

At this point, there is nothing I do not like.

Filters like a boss. Can't beat the price. Easy setup and forget about it. Multi NAT, Filter by Catagory. CIPA compliance. Black/white list abilities. Filter by PC or Filter my Router / Switch / NAT / All depending on how you want to set it up. You can Set the DNS at your Security Gateway level and/or set it at the Switch and/orAP and/or machine level.

Sometimes I have to change browsers in the website to manage it. Short of that nothing else even comes close.

It doesn't get any easier

Reviewed 3 years ago

It has given us the ability to greatly improve web security for our customers and icrease profit margins for our business. We were early adopters of DNS Filter when the only other option on the market was OpenDNS Umbrella at a really high price point. Consistent improvements, and the DNSFilter team pays very close attention to what their partners would like to see in the product and implements those changes fairly quickly.

Pros

Global policies, ease of configuration, speed, integrations with AD, it just doesn't get much better than this.

Cons

I can't think of any cons. The software does exactly what it claims it will do and effectively.
