"The best web filter for schools IMO"
5/5

Plain an simple: it does a fantastic job filtering inappropriate content. We tested several solutions and there was clear difference in effectiveness and Securly was a clear tier above the rest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Securly Filter?

Not much to dislike. There's no perfect web filter, but we've had the most success with Securly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good value"
4/5
What do you like best about Securly Filter?

It helps administrators see what students are getting into trouble with, and it helps counselors see issues they may need to bring up with students and/or their families. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Securly Filter?

Sometimes it doesn't catch certain things students search for. Some students are very crafty with what they search, and we see some things that were allowed that should have been flagged. Also, since students have a school email, they can actually approve their own site allow, which they don't know yet (as far as we know) but would be very bad if they found out.

"Fast and Effective"
5/5
What do you like best about Securly Filter?

The product works great, their DNS-based filtering is fast and effective. Changes happen immediately, no need to log off and back on. Their customer service is outstanding and they have been rock solid during the past three years of use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Securly Filter?

Honeslty, their system is soo much better than the once it replaces. The only downside is their reporting could be better. I often need more details about a users search history than their reports provide. But it's a very small dislike. It's really a great product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to SetUp / Easy to Implement / Outstanding Technical Support"

The program is relatively easy to use and that is coming from someone who is an educator and not a complete techie. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Securly Filter?

For quick blocks or allows of sites, I wish they had a feature that allowed me to quickly allow or block a site by policy versus globally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
