"Best Student Filter Ever"
5/5
What do you like best about Securly Filter?

Securly Filter is extremely easy to use and the web interface is very easy to navigate. Seeing all the student web traffic all in one place is super nice! Securly makes it so simple to block any website students shouldn't be able to browse. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Securly Filter?

Really the only downside is that it's not a free product. It's competitively priced in the filtering market but it's not the lost cost offering. It's definitely a great value for the price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Securly Filter Feedback"
5/5
What do you like best about Securly Filter?

For education, it is already set up with the ability to block sites that we do not want our students to access, as soon as their first sign on with their Chromebook.

Since we migrated from an Active Directory environment to a Google environment, having the ability to just deploy Securly has proven to be very effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Securly Filter?

I honestly cannot think of anything that I dislike and the faculty seem to all love it as well. We love Securly! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Feature-rich and easy to use"
5/5
What do you like best about Securly Filter?

Securly has proven a powerful tool for our student web filtering and has allowed us to add extra technicians to the admin portal for quicker response times to block requests. Its reporting is excellent and allows us to provide actionable information to teachers, counselors, admins, parents, etc. Reports generated by threat keywords are largely effective and give us a leg up in assisting with potential student mental health issues before they escalate.

In the last two years, Securly has massively improved their web portal and feature set. TLD blocking has been huge for us, as .io has historically been a haven for thousands of online games. Additionally, where their site used to slow to a crawl when whitelisting or blacklisting a large number of sites, performance no longer appears to be affected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Securly Filter?

Not much anymore! All of our major feature requests in the last two years have been addressed with updates to the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
