ControlD Reviews & Product Details

I greatly appreciate Control D for its easy configuration and deployment, which simplifies managing DNS security and effectively securing endpoints. The initial setup of Control D was incredibly straightforward, taking only one minute, highlighting its user-friendly design. I also value how Control D seamlessly integrates with other tools such as MDM and various cybersecurity products, enhancing my security infrastructure. Switching from Cisco Umbrella to Control D has been a smooth transition due to its efficient setup process and comprehensive capabilities in navigating bad DNS configurations.

Rulesets are a bit abstracted but not a major complaint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Onboarding was exteremely easy, deployed ControlD on ~80 devices in a matter of minutes (with some basic API scripting). UI is very easy to understand, and looks rather unique relative to other DNS services I used before (dnsfilter, umbrealla). Despite the simplicity of the UI, the features are quite powerful. Not doing anything revoluntary, just blocking malware, social networks, and porn, and it works great.

Fiddinling with their "redirection" feature which masks the IP of the client from various services, its pretty cool, but have yet to find a use case for it except for some of our marketing folks that really love it because they don't need to use a VPN anymore.

Pretty much nothing. The Analytics feature could use some improvement to provide better insights, but I spoke to Yegor and it's already on their roadmap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Controld makes it easy to have more privacy online, block websites that the kids should not have access to, block malware and other various threats, and block ads and trackers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a bit of learning curve and depending on how much control that you want over your internet access, there will be some sites that get blocked that shouldn't. This is expected, but some people may not like having to whitelist sites that are blocked inadvertently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I love most about ControlD is how it seamlessly enhances my online experience without the need for any additional app installations. The ability to block unwanted content, spoof my location, and browse faster is truly remarkable. It puts me in control of my privacy and productivity effortlessly.

I wish ControlD had more customization options for content blocking and clearer information about their data practices. But overall, it's still a handy tool for enhancing privacy and productivity while browsing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the ability to block ads and tracking elements. The ability to block individual services is useful, which helps with productivity. For an additional fee, you can use the proxy option. As a developer, I appreciate the ability to overwrite records, making hosts files a thing of the past. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes there are problems with fast updating blocking lists or long long latency from DNS. Instead, there is nothing that support is not willing to help with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
