Lightspeed Filter Reviews & Product Details

I really appreciate the customer support, how easy it is to use, and the overall quality of the product. Digital insights is helping us keep track of the sites and apps used across the district, and is helping us save funds by allowing us to remove apps that are not used.

Wish that Apple iOS would allow for the same features as MacBooks - The product is still very robust, but iOS doesn't allow for some of the fancier bells and whistles, like live web activity monitoring or keystroke identification. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I hate Lightspeed Filter. It doesn’t filter efficiently, and its filtering is too strict. It blocks music sites even though students use them to concentrate and teachers approve of them. It also flags sites as inappropriate when they aren’t, including Pinterest and Prodigy, an educational math game. I wish it would only filter actual inappropriate content. Setup was freaking hard.

I love being able to see every students screen at the same time. It is such a help to have eyes on everyone. I use it everyday in the classroom to monitor students and it is amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lightspeed Systems has truly been a fantastic partner to us. As an education administrator, I've witnessed firsthand their commitment to supporting our school's journey seamlessly. From their comprehensive web filtering to classroom management tools, they've got everything covered. Their customer-centric approach shines through in their responsiveness to feedback. Knowing our students' safety and tech optimization are in good hands makes all the difference. Highly recommend! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

On rare occasions, their support hours limit our ability to call support early in the am. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Relay is a unified dashboard that allows me to monitor and filter all of our Chrome devices in one place. No more going to 5 different places for filtering, controlling videos, looking where students have been on the internet, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While it's not really a downside, with everything in one place, there is a lot to learn. The tutorials help but the level of granulation available for the various settings means you have to get your hands dirty for a while before you can take full advantage of all the features.

Lightspeed is miles ahead in its ease of integration and interface navigation. Extremely convenient and fast across all of our devices. Compared to other solutions, Relay also has some of the best and more robust reporting options, with the activity log being very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Group switching is still a little slow compared to other solutions, and iOS filtering still needs some more developement, sepecifically in search query reporting. A smartPAC file solution would be nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Relay Web filter is so simple to install. Once installed, management is extremely easy to modify and update. Students are locked in the filter at all times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My only suggestion at this time is to somehow display if devices have been refreshed and/or received the latest modification. Sometimes changes occur within seconds on a device and sometimes it can take 5-10 minutes before you can verify the change on the device. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of use for IT Admin and Teachers, ability to manage Youtube, and confidence of being able to leave it and forget for the most part and know it's doing its job. On the teacher's side of the coin, the rich features that are available in the classroom side such as view student screens, closing tabs, and sending comments to students through the interface were very useful especially during the time of COVID. Not only could the teachers monitor that their students were on task at home but they were able to assist them with any problems they ran into from a distance.

There is nothing I can think of besides extra features, the product has a lot of features already and Lightspeed is always working on more. But more features are always nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
