Safe DNS is a company that accomplishes what they commit to offering. They have great customer service and competitive pricing.

The ease at which you can get started with SafeDNS is amazing. So simple to implement to the edge routers and just like that your internal network is covered.

Director of Technology

End user does not know what is wrong or if something is being blocked; and yes, there is a blocked page warning configured.

Library Director

The product is easy to use. It is installed on public computers and is very successful in keeping the children at the library safe while using a computer.

Technical Services Manager

Great support during set up and use by our company. Very helpful when fixing those settings which I didn't read up on in the guide - had a "man" look.

Technology Ministry Leader

It is a great product for exactly what we need. It is also affordable for small organizations with small budgets as well.

My experience has been great. Easy and simple integration and configuration.

Parent

Great way to improve the internet safety at home.

Tech Support

The one frustrating time was that none of the students could access Teams. One we realized that SafeDNS was blocking Teams it was a quick fix.

SafeDNS is an excellent solution for Education.

Director of Library

I am having occasional trouble updating the software.

Safedns does a great job of making DNS based administration quick and easy.

Owner / President

Generally, we use this to prevent accidents. An accident might be someone opening a site that is inappropriate for the workplace, and expose the client to workplace harassment claims.

Pastor of Member Care

This was easy to integrate with the wifi network at our church, where we have a free wifi network connection.

We can easily have end users maintain the content filtering if needed due to the simpler interface.

SafeDNS is a better alternative to Cisco Umbrella

Good day Troy!
Thank you for leaving such a detailed and positive review. 
Sure, it's up to you to choose between router or agent installation, but we always recommend the router option.

I have been very happy with SafeDNS.  It has significantly improved the network safety and it requires relatively little maintenance.  I don't need to require access to every device.  In addition it is very easy to manage when needed.

Hi Anthony!
Such a nice review, thanks so much - we really appreciate it!
We do have "allow-list only" option! You are correct, for some cases it works much better.
Cheers,
SafeDNS

SafeDNS is a really great product, we have been using it for over 5 years now and it's really robust. We deploy for all our customers internal networks and this includes our Azure infrastructure and it just works.

Excellent - moved to SafeDNS when our previous internet filtering solution was dropped by the vendor.

Great features and good pricing!

Good day Paul!
We really appreciate the kind words. As to the alerts you mentioned, noted! Will be sure to tell our tech team and see if that's possible to implement.

Secure, Safe DNS for everyone

We have several scanners that need to work with our network, and they must have access to the Internet.
Even the scanners have limited access to the wan, our personnel found a way to navigate to not work-related webpages.
SafeDNS it's a great tool to have restrictive control on this matter.
At the same time, it is a great way to get control of the webpages the administrative personnel has access to, all this,  without using an expensive proxy.
And the most important thing for us. SafeDNS allow us to accomplish specific requirements from the CTPAT program (U.S. Customs and Border Protection rules).



Exactly what you need for the most inexpensive price.

We've been using SafeDns for several years.  We are a school and we do not have personnel that can dedicate to Web Filtering management, hardware & software installation and maintenance.   We also cannot afford to spend much.  But, of course, we need the webfilter protection with hundreds of students.  With SafeDns, you set it and forget it.  Check once and a while to make sure it is securing your network.   Very easy to use. Easy Web Based product with easy to use management.   No heavy lifting from the user perspective, but delivers a solid protection. 

SafeDNS- Low Maintenance Web Filter

Affordable, Cloud-Based Web Filtering

Im happy with it, the more I know how it works the better use I can get from it.

Web Security affordable

Generally, we use this to prevent accidents. An accident might be someone opening a site that is inappropriate for the workplace, and expose the client to workplace harassment claims. It might also be one that prevents someone from going to a malware site, and infecting the network. Overall, our experience has been good. 

SafeDNS offers good protection, at a reasonable price.

Cedars of Lebanon Academy is a K - 12 non-profit Christian school.  SafeDNS has provided consistent good content filtering.  

Content filtering simplified

Easy while powerful and always updated filter

Hello Antonio!
Thanks for such an awesome review - we love working with schools, and happy to hear the feeling is mutual!

This software came to make a real difference with teh people using Internet during working hours. We were with almost 100% of use of the Internet service and requiered a second service contrated. After SafeDNS we recover on Internet service just for visitors and the original is enough for the regular operation.
