Easy to implement DNS security

  • May 08, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The software was extremely easy to use. We implemented in one day. The hosted console made it easy to control from the cloud. Blocking could be accomplished in several ways. Did not need an agent while in the office. Can be pushed at the DHCP level. This does not mean that users can not simply change their DNS, it simply prevents compliant users and not a determined users from finding a work around.
What do you dislike about the product?
Agent required to disallow changing of DNS or when offsite. Is not an all encompassing solution. Need something else to to provide full coverage to end users. Most antivirus solutions have similar solutions built directly into solution to accomplish with one product instead of two. To do user identification in a domain, an agent needs installed on the domain controller as well as some modifications via their scripts. This was deemed acceptable by management but could cause a stop to a deployment if you do not wish to have domain controller changes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Security of organization and users. Simplicity. Undetected to users in office. Little to no impact on users performance. Did require an agent for the more robust solution. This could be scripted and installed remotely after initial implementation as we did.

We realized instant results in blocking of malicious sites and were able to perform remediation.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Easy and inexpensive. Not an all encompassing security solution but a step in the right direction for anyone looking to track user activity and prevent malicious activities. This is only a piece of a well executed security plan.

  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Lots of users suffer from unreliable Web access, because of their default DNS server. OpenDNS is a free, service that aims to improve the reliability and functionality of regular DNS servers provided bu your ISP
What do you dislike about the product?
Some TLS certificates need to be updated
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We block Adult websites and Gambling/Online betting websites with OpenDNS and it has not let us down
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Allow 3 to 5 minutes to your changes to propagate to all servers, after that it should be golden.
