The Enterprise level of security at affordable price and the fact that works great! Easy setup, simple to administer comparing with other solutions like Untangle, Sophos etc. MDS support is doing a very good job at keeping the devices up to date and responding to any calls or emergencies promptly. Great job guys! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Omnishield by MyDigitalShield:

I highly recommend this product. Protection is done right, price is right, support is great, what else can I say? Oh yeah i forgot about telling you how easy is to setup and manage. Once you do one install you will be convinced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Omnishield by MyDigitalShield solving and how is that benefiting you?

All-in-one solution which just works!. My first experience with this product was over 2 years ago when one of my clients called me with some weird network and website issues. 5 min after setting up My Digital Shield for this client I have received an email notification about a workstation being infected with a nasty virus. MDS was a winner. Untangle and Trend-micro which I was using at that time didn't even smell this virus! What else can be better than MDS? Offers affordable prices and enterprise level of security, the best combination for SMB. The multi-site VPN solution and 3-rd party VPN works great. I've been using it for over 2 years with multiple clients and again it just works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a simple to administer, cost-effective solution that provides the correct level of protection for our Small Business clients.

What do you dislike about Omnishield by MyDigitalShield?

The ability to define two unique Content Filtering groups, one for staff and one for management / executives would be a great feature for them to add. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Once you install your first device and experience how easy it is to setup and manage, you'll be convinced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Omnishield by MyDigitalShield solving and how is that benefiting you?

It solved the problem of us having to purchase expensive UTM appliance that required a high level of configuration and training in order to properly install and the constant monitoring of false positives from these UTM appliances. By partnering with MDS, our clients love the low monthly fee and it truly is a set it and forget it device because you know their NOC has your covered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Omnishield by MyDigitalShield solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use this to protect both my personal and business from the internet and its host of predators trying to steal any information from my devices. After looking at the reports, I realize there are many more attempts at trying to break in my network than I ever dreamed of. Like I said before, it just works.

"Great security soltuion for small business."

5/5

What do you like best about Omnishield by MyDigitalShield?

The enterprise level of security is very effective. I have personally witnessed this product stop ransomware in it's tracks, and alert my team to it for removal. The system provides the security it advertises and it works very effectively. The system does NOT impede or slow your network speeds like traditional A/V software and UTM boxes.
