"More than I expected and priced well"

What do you like best about Blocksi?

The system monitors nearly every aspect of the keystrokes, sites, and even a student's scary or negative intentions. Further, we do not have to search for these issues; Blocksi sends us notifications. Nearly unlimited number of features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blocksi?

It is a little bit cumbersome inputting certain data points. If we have not completed a given task for a month or so, it is easy to forget where to go to make needed changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Originally addressed a niche need, now it is a vital component of our learning ecosystem."
4.5/5
What do you like best about Blocksi?

Originally we purchased Blocksi to address our concurrent and hybrid learning environments during the pandemic. Now our staff utilized it daily to ensure students are on task. The time needed to complete online components of projects has decreased as students are more focused on the work. Features like lockign down students' screens and focring links have been helpful.

What do you dislike about Blocksi?

Have not explored it too much on my part but parents do have a little difficulty with the parent portal and setting up their restrictions at home. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It makes it very helpful to monitor student computer use and keep them from being off task."
4.5/5
What do you like best about Blocksi?

Keeping kids safe online and on task while at school. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blocksi?

It cannot automatically run. It would be nice to be able to set it up on timers or something. Maybe that is an option and I don't know it. I would also like the ability to set up a specific list of sites allowed to specific students to help them stay on task. Like individualized block and allow lists for each student.

"One of, if not THE top content filter/classroom management systems."
4.5/5
What do you like best about Blocksi?

Ease of administration/use and Blocksi customer service are what I like best about Blocksi. Features keep getting added at no additional cost and the system is always being improved. Blocksi listens when you have problems and make suggestions for improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blocksi?

I can't seem to get the windows client to run properly/behave. Slows the entire computer to a crawl. I don't think this is a Blocksi issue but I can't seem to find the cause. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I use Blocksi daily to monitor form the Tech Department standpoint."
3.5/5
What do you like best about Blocksi?

I like the overall interface and how easy it is to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blocksi?

I dislike that as an admin the dashboard is not live data. Many times it's not until the next day that I can see sites that students have tried to access. Yes, I can manually look them up but that is timely for the amount of students in the district. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Tool to Filter Content on Chromebooks"
5/5
What do you like best about Blocksi?

Blocksi enables us to filter our devices that go home with students. It also gives us greater clarity on what sites the students visit and allows teachers to view student screens and make in-class filtering decisions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blocksi?

One of the primary bugs I have seen is that sometimes when syncing with our Google Admin Console, the program will not automatically assign licenses to new members of an organizational unit (even though there are enough licenses to assign new ones enrollees).

"An affordable solution that had features that I didn't even know that we needed."
5/5
What do you like best about Blocksi?

Customer service has been great to work with and very responsive. There are constantly new features being added and our teachers love classroom management module. The student safety system is amazing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blocksi?

There are some quirky things about rules with block/deny/exceptions. For example, *.domain.com will unblock or block all subdomains, but sometimes the main domain is unaffected. A second rule will need to be added for only "domain.com". There is also some things that could be streamlined. I feel some of the ways to go about pulling reports and viewing student analytics are a bit clunky and could be more user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
