The best thing about Glasswire is that it is very easy to use and it has more user-friendly interfaces. So we can monitor our network usage by just looking at the "Graph" or "Usage Details" interface. In the free version, we can monitor our data usage in the last 5 minutes, 3 hours, or 24 hours.

Nothing special. Actually, I'm very satisfied with GassWire. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use, One touch on & Off of VPN, too many theme option Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Too many notifications on the first network activity. Interface can be a bit more intuitive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's so much to love about this software. I love how I can easily check what software is connecting to the internet, how much data they are using and how it breaks down between local and external traffic. I can even view the hostnames to which each application is connecting to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing really. Maybe the constant popups to upgrade to a paid package on the free version. I didn't have much trouble setting up Glasswire but i feel that i may be missing out on all it's benefits because of lack of some sort of tutorial or on-boarding process in terms of how to use the software.

Fast, easy installation, excellent user interface - put simply, it just works! The user-friendly interface is excellent for both skilled and non-skilled users to learn the state of the desktop internet connections. It keeps us constantly updated with any necessary alerts and goes a long way for peace of mind. Glasswire is much more configurable than those regular standalone firewalls; it lets you blacklist connections specific to your own work environment. GlassWire enables to keep track of our mobile carrier data usage and Wi-Fi Internet activity which is great when our team are working remotely. I would not hesitate to recommend this product to both smaller businesses, teams and personal users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am very satisfied with this product and have no dislikes at this time. We haven't needed to contact the support team yet so cannot review that part of the service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very easy to install and configure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the alerts are false positives that need to be investigated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The break down of the network activity is one of the best that I've seen from other network activity scanners. Not only does it help you see what programs are pulling from the network but also how much. Being able to turn off and on specific programs is a real help when troubleshooting. Since this is available for multiple devices and OS's you can keep track of your digital footprint as it were. Whenever anything is behaving questionably there is even the feature to have that program analyzed for any virus or malware definitions.

The most helpful aspect that I have found is being notified whenever a new service starts using the network. If you haven't added any new programs and something starts to connect you know something is up. An upside is that everything is all in one place and easy to get to.

The pay-per-month income setup is not a favorite of mine. As these programs are great for what they can do by keeping you on such a program it will inevitably become a problem for some as it cannot fully take over for an antivirus. If using with another antivirus it would yield some serious protections against intruders into your system. But on the other hand if you could only choose one many would opt for the antivirus protections since this has no real time scanner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When I first downloaded Glasswire I didn't know what to expect. It was still very young and nothing like it had been developed to my knowledge. However, over the years I have installed it as one of my first applications on my systems.

Glasswire offers so many amazing features. The paid upgrade and the "Ask to Connect" feature, it is a god sent and must have. Being able to see usage on metered connections is grand. The ability to see which devices are connecting to your network instantly is also amazing. It also alerts you to software upgrading, internet outages, and so so much more.

I would say It is a must for people looking to secure their networks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The few downsides I would say it does offer is not being able to block programs from connecting to some IP addresses or subscribing to known lists of IPs. When using "Ask to Connect" the user needs to have a deep understanding of what needs a connection and what is unneeded. It's also lacking any kind of features that would allow me to view or monitor what kind of data is being sent in and out. Overall, these would not stop me from using the software.

GlassWire has one feature I've never seen before: a mini viewer available over my desktop apps. The firewall works great and seamlessly on Windows. The Elite edition allows me monitor unlimited remote clients, which is another unique function. The log of data is one of the biggest ones. It keeps an year of traffic, apps updates and consumption by protocol data. I used to pay for antivirus, but they never permitted me to know when my connection is being used by third-party apps. Now, with GlassWire only, I know and can investigate inappropriate use of my bandwidth by unknown sources. For streamers, it's a key tool. Well, I need to highlight the visuals. GlassWire is beautifully developed and comes with good skins options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Glasswire doesn't allows me to customize the units for bandwidth measurement. It would be awesome if the user could choose between, MBps, Mbps or, even, kbps. Some kind of integration between GlassWire Mobile and desktop would be cool. Imagine users using smartphone as remote viewer! Incognito mode doesn't explain what it's made for. Doesn't have a GAME MODE. Doesn't have a STREAMER MODE, allowing user to choose specific apps to use network with priority, similiar to a "QoS via software". The app doesn't have an AUTO DARK MODE for night times. It would be great if users can set different skins for different hours of day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the best feature of GlassWire is the ability to have programs checked at VirusTotal.com before they can access the Internet. Beyond this, GlassWire makes it simple to prevent even non-malicious programs from accessing the Internet. This is great for programs that may leak personal information to the Internet.

There is nothing I dislike about GlassWire. It is a solid, effective product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use glasswire to monitor my homelab, where I try some of the craziest things. I love Glasswire's ability to dig deep into the past - I can easily discern between new and ongoing trends, and see what is really using my bandwidth over time. I've been able to easily identify and remove unexpected talkers that I had long thought removed, or block them. Since I can easily see both incoming and outgoing traffic, I'm able to gain better insight into what is actually going on behind the scenes.

I haven't seen any AV conflicts and that really makes me happy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would really like to be able to see (or at least access) glasswire data from a local control console from one of the machines within my network - it's annoying to have to go from machine to machine. Glasswire also has the potential to introduce conflict with VPNs like NordVPN, as well as some command and control programs such as Tanium or Bigfix - it concerns me that the recommended techniques for bypassing some of those conflicts, such as with VPN, may reduce functionality.
