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

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
Does not have an option for School Filtering, I use this application to filter schools and home internet but I have to also use K9 filtering because this doesn't cover it all and sometimes SSL could not be filtered

Very promising but does not deliver…
Verified reviewer
- Deployement is easy to start, Dashboard looks good
- fine tuning is difficult and lacking in several domains
- The usefull extras are expensive
- Customer support is not responsive at all
- Be careful with sharing your credit card data during the trial period
- They charge you immediately and if you cancel you lose access to the service (even when charged)

Layers of Security
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
Andrew C.
Verified UserThe service works well and is reliable.
Better internet speed, and in today's world that is huge.
- Easy to use, setup was a breeze, and the service reliability has been 100% uptime
- The response speed of DNS resolution and the reliability is better than the local ISP
- DNS resolution affects the user's perception of the internet speed and reliability
- This service is becoming a must-have for my customers
I would like the ability to blacklist and whitelist IP addresses for customers who do not have a local router

Superb product which is easy to manage!
DNS filtering without breaking the bank. Ability to rapidly deploy to potential clients with minimal configuration. Love the continual development as well.
Continual development of new features, dead simple pricing, granular configuration and reporting mechanisms
- Lack of transparency when choosing a particular category to block
- Would love to have granular control over items in blocklists, with the ability to add my own to the category (or create my own category)

Easy Setup and Powerfull Settings
We have eliminated the need for client based web filtering and are able to do that from for the entire network. This has eliminated some computer performance issues we experienced when we used client based web filtering.
- We primarily use DNSFilter as a basic website filter and secondarily as a web protection filter against malicious sites
- Ease of configuring and setup is amazing
- This isn't necessarily a con on the software itself
- I need better instructions on preventing DNS circumvention for configuring my router with DNSFilter

Verified UserWas easy to setup and change filters.
It was nice to have a cloud based option for DNS filtering without having to have an appliance.
- Predefined filters make it easy to block content that we wanted blocked, while not blocking the content we wanted
- It was also really easy to unblock a site if it was needed
- Using dynamic dns was a little bit more complicated
- Our sites all use dynamic dns and would have just been easier if we did not have to go through the setting up of a dynamic dns name

Verified UserAs an MSSP, DNSFilter provides us a solution that's easy to implement, cost effective and brandable.

PRO: As a DNS-based filtering solution, DNSFilter is easy to implement as it does not require additional hardware and can be enforced on "corporate" & "guest" devices without any device-specific configuration
- CON: As a DNS-based filtering solution, everything is captured in the logs; user and system generated events
- This makes its difficult to generate reports that show events that are exclusively generated by users

Most featured DNS system
Verified reviewer
- DNSFilter has virtually all features that an internet user need for the Internet access control
- For its class, I would say it has the cheapest price too compared to other competitors
Really nothing to dislike besides the DNS protocol itself has limitations such as DNS cache issues
