Security and reporting
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!
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.
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.
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.

I wanted to increase the security of our business
The software has a nice dashboard and is easy to configure
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.

DNSFilter has been a great addition to our overall security package.
Easy setup, great value for features offered, good customer support.
Some of the features take a little bit of figuring out in order to configure. Submitting domains for re-categorizing is not intuitive.

DNSFilter provided a quick and easy way to add security to our company network.
Very easy to setup, cheaper than the competition, and provides an easy way to secure your network

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

Simple to install, with notifications via email.
DNSFilter gives us an addtional, always on, internet security layer to help protect our customers.
No active monitoring, it would be nice to have a quick app to see network status.

Overall, my experience with DNSFilter has been positive. I would recommended the product.
DNSFilter helps keeps systems secure and monitored. Roaming agents allow the systems to be protected where ever they are located.
False positive malware detections can cause frustrations with customers who are not aware of the current IT security landscape.

Love the extra level of security by blocking malware and threats. Content filtering was easy to configure.
Nothing of any real significance or impact.

The dashboard is clear and easy to use.
The obligation to deploy on each workstation of the network the SSL certificate in order to see correctly (without browser security warning) the block page.

DNS Filter is amazing tool to have as a MSP. It adds another layer of security for our clients. We have been using it for past 2-3 years for all of our clients and it seems to do its job.
Easy to implement. Easy to navigate GUI.
Reporting can be better and better granular reporting per end point.

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.
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.
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.

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!
Ease of integrating into customer sites.
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 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.
Global policies, ease of configuration, speed, integrations with AD, it just doesn't get much better than this.
I can't think of any cons. The software does exactly what it claims it will do and effectively.
