DNS Filter Review - The Best DNS Filter

1. "Top Notch WebTitan DNS Filtering"

There was no pressure to purchase the dns filtering software. The trial started out for a week and one email to rep to see if we could have more time and before we were off the phone it was extended to a month. While headquarters is not located in the USA, have had no issues getting a hold of a live person to talk to. Great company to deal with.

Documentation is step by step. If it isn't in the documentation calling support quick and easy. Before purchasing the software I used the trial. To test support, called in and told them I was just evaluating the software and had questions. They didn't hesitate to answer any and all questions. Being able to talk to the ones that deal with the software daily and pick their brains was excellent.

Honestly, nothing to complain about. Switched from another software DNS filtering that didn't work and spent more time troubleshooting, switching to WebTitan was a dream.

Jason R., IT Specialist, Computer & Network Security


2. "Great Product - Easy to implement, Titan DNS!"

So far, for the price, the software has exceeded our expectations. We have already implemented the remote agents to over 100 machines.

I love the ability to utilize the remote agent to allow computers to stay under our company's web-filter policy while working remotely.

The only thing that we dislike so far is the fact that it can sometimes take hours for the policy changes to take effect.

Bradley T., Network Administration, Accounting,


3. "Best Bang for your Buck"

Increased productivity and network security.

The interface is as simple as it gets. Everything you need and nothing you don't. Customer service has always been prompt and effective. The support team has always been able to resolve my issues on the first try whether it be on the phone or via email.

There are a couple of features I wish were implemented, but given time I think it will come together. The best DNS filter

Troy S., IT Director


4. "Best DNS Filter proxy/content filter ever used, lot of features, simple and intuitive administration."

2. Clean interface, simple administration.
3. Very powerful content filter, granular policies for users and groups.
4. Easy to debug the filtering result.
5. Great reporting.
