DNSFilter - Avis

Great DNS security product for endpoints and routers

Avantages :

We wanted a product we could deploy at the router level, DNS Filter provided that ability and a very easy to use UI and Dashboard.

Inconvénients :

At this stage we are yet to find anything we do not like.

DNS Filter review

Commentaires : 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.

Avantages :

Easy to implement. Easy to navigate GUI.

Inconvénients :

Reporting can be better and better granular reporting per end point.

Great product - but if I wanted to be stuck with email-only support I'd use Umbrella

Commentaires : Content filtering with exclusions (teachers can get to facebook but students can't)

Avantages :

Flexible deployment with a mix of DNS and software client base deployment options...

Inconvénients :

Support is email only - and inadequate when you have a K-12 client who needs an answer quickly.

Great filter for MSPs to offer

Commentaires : We have been using the service since day one and it has been great to see how far it has come over the years. Truly a great service.

Avantages :

With one panel we can admin all of our clients and protect the users from many different threats.

Inconvénients :

With the addition of the client on the workstations giving detailed reporting, there is not much else we could want other than maybe even more detailed reporting.

DNSFilter is a great solution for the first layer of security

Avantages :

The ability to offer it to my clients and their MSP program. It is very easy to deploy it to my clients, easy to bill and manage.

Inconvénients :

In the beginning the reporting wasn't as well as I'd like but it has evolved.

Good Product with Better Functionality than Competitors

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

Avantages :

DNSFilter helps keeps systems secure and monitored. Roaming agents allow the systems to be protected where ever they are located.

Inconvénients :

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

Good value

Commentaires : So far, so good. We have tested several alternatives (Umbrella, TitanHQ, Qustodio), and DNSFilter is the best overall.

Avantages :

Easy to deploy to our 600+ iPads. Great integration at JAMF School. The management console is full of useful features.

Inconvénients :

Query log should be longer than 24 hours. Also query log search is a bit slow.

Went from usage to user pricing... Not impressed

Avantages :

It's easy to use. Cloud DNS filtering that was cheaper than an appliance? Great!

Inconvénients :

They changed the pricing model from usage based (Which they were so proud of) to user based. We have lots of users and many volunteers with little usage. This pricing strategy invalidates any reason to use this company over the competition.

Excellent

Avantages :

Simple to install and it actually works !! Support is excellent always prompt and knowledgeable. And the override button sorts out any issues

Inconvénients :

No fixed per month fee and sometimes bank websites don't work and need to be whitelisted. Otherwise it would be nice to have separate password levels for accessing websites

Layers of Security

Commentaires : 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!

Avantages :

Ease of integrating into customer sites.

Inconvénients :

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

It doesn't get any easier

Commentaires : 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.

Avantages :

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

Inconvénients :

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

Simple and Easy to Use. Needs more browser support.

Avantages :

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.

Inconvénients :

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

Great service and affordable

Commentaires : url filtering

Avantages :

It helps us block websites by name or classification which is great. It also allows us to setup multiple locations.

Inconvénients :

The reporting is a little light. Would like to see detailed reporting especially for those trying to circumvent the filter.

Amazing value and an effective reliable service.

Avantages :

Very good value and constant improvement of services offered. Service has never been down and easy to implement.

Inconvénients :

Filtering sometimes has false positives but support is quick to respond. The interface Is light on details in the account management section.

Great Product

Commentaires : Very happy and would recommend it.

Avantages :

Ease of use. Simple to deploy. Configuration made sense.

Inconvénients :

Block pages are tough to configure at times

Exactly the content filtering system we've wanted for a long time!

Commentaires : A solution to our content filtering woes. All other solutions were convoluted or expensive. This comes from a guy that held frequent video calls with OpenDNS engineers helping them design and beta test their early content filtering system even before it was re-branded Umbrella..

Avantages :

Ease of use. Reliability. Performance. Cost. Stellar support team!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Inconvénients :

AD integration is still a need. Would also like to see a master view map that shows stats from all locations with the bubbles.

DNSFilter

Avantages :

This product was a drop-in replacement for a previous DNS filtering service we had been using. The previous solution was not dependable but DNS Filter has been a marked improvement. DNSFilters DNS servers respond quickly and reliably.

Inconvénients :

I have only been using DNSFilter for a few months and I have not yet found any serious flaws.

A DNS solution worth paying for.

Commentaires : So far I have enjoyed DNS filter to the fullest. They offer everything that I have been looking for as a company.

Avantages :

This DNS Solutions is diffrent then other old school providers. With their AI technology they can instantly calagorize website. Which is what others lack. They offer the option to enable safe search and they are a very transparent company that is willing to adapt and work with their customers.

Inconvénients :

I would not be telling the truth if I would claim there is something is company is doing wrong. Simply no cons.

Great Product, Awesome service

Avantages :

Ease of use, Ease of implementation, Ease of reporting

Inconvénients :

Whitelabeling of the apps would be a nice feature to be added

DNS Filter

Commentaires : easy to setup, easy to view results, very happy, haven't had to contact support yet so i can't speak to that.

Avantages :

Its been good, without it we would have less information on how badly our clients browsing habits are, its also been catching a few things here and there, and anything to make our clients safe in this day and age is very welcome.

Inconvénients :

Agent install requires a code to link to the proper client, but no big deal really.

Great Alternative To "Package Selling" Cisco Umbrella :)!

Commentaires : The fact that i can protect users connecting to our free wifi system at a short price is a real benefit !

Avantages :

Adding Networks is easy ! Dashboard is responsive ! A lot of informations ! Great pricing ! And Whitelabelling Options making it as yours ! Glad i found them !
