## Reviews

### "Simple cheap content filtering" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *21 April 2021* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Very easy to setup, cheaper than the competition, and provides an easy way to secure your network
> 
> **Cons**: We had a few problems with the chrome os support, but dnsfilter were helpful resolving them.
> 
> DNSFilter provided a quick and easy way to add security to our company network.

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

> **Will** | *9 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

### "Decent way to content filter on a budget...kinda" — 3.0/5

> **Jon** | *29 March 2019* | Logistics & Supply Chain | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like that you can set policies for content filtering
> 
> **Cons**: price per user per month. I think it should just be a flat price per month up to a certain amount of users, like say 100 maybe... and then have a 2nd tier for over a hundred, paying per user is kind of stupid because some users might use a computer 2 times a month
> 
> I didn't decide to stick with it because the content filter isn't perfect, there are plenty of sites we were able to visit that got through the content filters, and doing content filtering by DNS isn't as accurate as a dedicated box for content filtering, that being said I would still have chosen to use it if it were 3 bucks a month, or 40 bucks a year or something.

### "DNSFilter is a great tool when trying to do any type of dns filtering" — 5.0/5

> **Kyle** | *30 December 2024* | Luxury Goods & Jewelry | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy integration within our environment and the admin page is able to check logs and whitelist/blacklist sites easily and quickly.
> 
> **Cons**: If a roaming client quits working, hard to get it working again.
> 
> I have been overall happy with DNSFilter

### "DNSFilter is the best value for money in content filtering we've found." — 5.0/5

> **Don** | *19 June 2018* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: OpenDNS went from free to unaffordable under Cisco. DYN got bought by Oracle, which then shuttered DYN's Internet Guardian. It was almost as if the market was conspiring to take away all affordable options. We were thrilled when we found DNSFilter (to their credit, the DYN people referred us\!) DNSFilter gave us sound filtering at a very affordable price.  We've got options to whitelist and blacklist , to create a bypass password, to customize the appearance of block screens and even allow users to submit possible false positives for follow up. DNSFilter offers a range of reports on usage and blocks on a level you'd expect to see only in higher priced alternatives. Their "per DNS request" pricing scheme is an innovative approach that's fair and reasonable and puts advanced web filtering  out there for organizations which otherwise could never afford the features and functionality.  After the initial configuration, it's more or less "set it and forget it" if you choose to take that approach, but even if not, normal admin work takes little time.
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes it can be hard to keep up with new features. The company does send email announcements out, but I'll have the experience of logging in, seeing something new and wondering how long it's been there.  That's about the worst thing I can think of to say about our relationship with DNSFilter. They deliver what they promise, and they continue to innovate and improve their product.
> 
> Great feature set, solid performance, easy admin control, fair pricing. Gives us a way to do advance content filtering at a very affordable price.

Supervisors can restrict employees' access to malicious content, as well as specific websites such as Hulu or Netflix, and utilize data filtering capabilities to monitor Domain Name System (DNS) activities across devices. It lets administrators gain visibility into active networks, protection levels, source of threats, attack frequency, network protection costs, query logs, and other metrics using reports. The global anycast network automatically identifies vulnerabilities across nodes including network connectivity issues, hard drive failures, or power loss and helps enterprises reroute DNS requests to the nearest locations.\n\nUsing DNSFilter's web content filtering capabilities and proprietary algorithms, managers can choose specific categories of websites to be blocked such as media streaming, social networking, adult content, and more.
