Open DNS opens the internet for your family and church

  • July 13, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
OpenDNS is super easy to set up and once setup in your router covers all devices connecting to it. It’s very good at filtering inappropriate content like pornography or many other categories that are laid out
What do you dislike about the product?
It’s unfortunate though that If users have administrative access to their internet settings they could bypass the dns lookup setting that keep OprnDns working.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a church we provide public access to internet and feel good about doing our part to prevent inappropriate content and scams from reaching our users

Great for blocking harmful websites

What do you like best about the product?
I have been using OpenDNS for several years now and it is a great and easy to use personal security system. Very affordable as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface could be a little easier to use, but once you get used to it, it is fine.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I primarily use it to block harmful websites through our entire network. The benefits have been peace of mind since I set it and forget it.

As a technician, I enjoyed the ease of navigation throughout the interface. There was no confusion as to where I had to go for what my goal was.

Not much really, they could clean up the button design if anything! I think the solution overall is fantastic really!

Easy to Setup Effective Control

  • July 13, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I have used OpenDNS for a long time and it has always been easy to setup and has always evolved to meet my needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that they started charging for some of their services, but it's still something I recommend for business that need control over their internet access.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Low productivity from visiting social media sites has been eradicated, also access to improper websites is easily blocked, as well as whole subjects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try the free versions first. They usually include everything you need for a Home network

Great way to easily protect your home network and users

  • July 13, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to configure if you have popular networking equipment that they have step by step instructions for. The interface allows you to monitor what hits against your filters were made.
What do you dislike about the product?
For routers that aren't on their instruction list, you're left to figure out how to configure. Not hard if you have a bit of experience in this area, but I image less experienced users may struggle.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reduction in crappy ads, inappropriate sites veiwed on company machines.

Okay for internet security, but not the best

  • July 02, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Open DNS was a free option with my internet router which was great! Pretty easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
It did not block the things we had set it to block. Not the best for internet filtering. It is also not user friendly if you aren’t familiar with tech lingo and deciding URLS
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Open DNS offers the ability to block use of certain websites and keeps employees and me on task as we work.
