What do you dislike about SkyDNS?

One area that could be enhanced is the availability of advanced customization options. Apart from a user-friendly experience, it may lack some advanced features and fine-grained control that more technically savvy users might desire. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fantastic software to manage your DNS"

4.5/5

What do you like best about SkyDNS?

SkyDns is easy and good user interface, I like skydns because it helps me protect my privacy from other world. SkyDns have lot's of servers and choose what best for you to give you high bandwidth. also you will get 15 days trial period for first use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SkyDNS?

15 days trial is too short, i hope they will change it to 30 days initially. most frustrating part is installing skydns because you have some knowledge to use it is not available to use direct you have to grab it from github and then execute it with command prompt.

"Sky DNS, a complicated yet Beneficial Tool for a business or person who has time and savvy"

3.5/5

What do you like best about SkyDNS?

The DNS servers are quite a change of pace really. In my experience with IT, software, a good VPN and DNS Provider are vital, this one is locked down and honestly very well developed with more than sufficient DNS ports that are very new, fast, clean and reputable. It's solid, they run solid DNS ports to run through, New IDs that aren't washed up. From my DNS provider, this is a top-shelf reliable company who will have your back for sure! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SkyDNS?

The price, and the overall extensive confusion that came with it, due to the details and fine print, I myself, who is an IT major and savant, even found that the overall extensive nature it keeps, is almost overwhelming, but after you understand it gets easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SkyDNS:

It's complicated and detailed. It's not for a beginner, if you stay on top of it, it's okay because it will get easier. It's expensive, and maybe a bit overpriced but it's worth it for many reasons. I found it to be too much effort, too much confusion, too expensive. But check it out, they're worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SkyDNS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Locking down my small business security for various reasons, I'm a firm believer that internet traffic and web security is vital and it is also often overlooked. It's smooth and efficient. It's effective and does exactly as it says. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful traffic filtering for $ 400 per year"

3.5/5

What do you like best about SkyDNS?

1. In the Wi-Fi router settings, the DNS is indicated and within 5 minutes everything starts working.

2. Filters for Wi-Fi routers are powerless over HTTPS, there is no such drawback.

3. Does not require any large investments or long settings.

4. You can fully understand and evaluate the service during the free test period (14 days).

5. Unlike Yandex.DNS, and other analogues, everything is configured here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SkyDNS?

1. The interface seems a bit outdated, and, perhaps, could be clearer. For example, when you select access to sites only on the white list, all the checkboxes of the filter are immediately removed. By the way, filter switching does not always work.

2. When the filters turned off the Internet, the Android phone immediately recognized this and turned on LTE. Support could not tell which host to add to the exceptions. Found it by experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SkyDNS:

Budget solution for home users, small and medium businesses, educational institutions, libraries and operators of access to the Internet, which allows you to differentiate access to websites and Internet services without large financial and technical costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SkyDNS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Used at work and filtered bad sites and advertising. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
