Flashstart is capable of providing various DNS protocols which ease the process of acquiring information, analyzing the patterns, monitoring thresholds and cataloging all activities for quick reference. It effectively adheres blocking of dangerous domains which could potentially impact our customer's data integrity. For some known domains, if we install our certification authority on our internal devices then we would be able to access these blocked websites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
In some cases, the changes made to our Blacklist & Whitelist configurations did not appear due to latency issues. We cleared our cached data and reloaded our website to view the change history. It would be great if we have an automated feature to carry out this entire process with one click. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cloud-Based DNS and URL filtering, is what I will describe in 2 words. This does not require any on-prem infrastructure or server to be setup for using this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It filters only at DNS level. If users change the DNS server in their System, It is difficult to have control on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As a system integrator I'm constantly looking for flexible solutions to suggest to my customers. I like the fact Flashstart Webfilters can be used with a wide range of router and firewall brands. I'm a certified Mikrotik professional and with this product I can improve dramatically my Routerboards security features with no further effort. Moreover the possibility to integrate these filters to an existing Active Directory Domain structure is just great. In my opinion they offer the best in SMEs and Public Administrations because they can be adapted to preexisting infrastructures reducing the costs, but I'm starting to use them in larger environments as well and the performances are just as good. Support is also very good and reliable, they often organize useful webinars (not just commercial ones) and I'm really happy with my personal consultant, they answer in no time and really try to solve your problems.

They could probably improve the backend website, some features are slightly counterintuitive but still not a big deal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
