## Reviews

### "DNS Filter: An Honest Review" — 5.0/5

> **Will** | *09 June 2025* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is easily configurable. I mass deploy using my RMM. I set my default policy at the top level tenant then make tweaks to each customer individually based on what they want.
> 
> **Cons**: I wish it had remote uninstall.  I have had trouble removing it. Especially if a device was assigned to the wrong client.
> 
> I would rarely overall experience 8/10. I personally prefer filtering to be done on the device and not the firewall

### "Great DNS security product for endpoints and routers" — 4.0/5

> **Lucas** | *08 May 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10

### "Excellent" — 5.0/5

> **Gabino** | *19 June 2018*
> 
> **Pros**: Simple to install and it actually works \!\! Support is excellent always prompt and knowledgeable.  And the override button sorts out any issues
> 
> **Cons**: 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
