What do you like best about Blocksi?

Customer service has been great to work with and very responsive. There are constantly new features being added and our teachers love classroom management module. The student safety system is amazing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blocksi?

There are some quirky things about rules with block/deny/exceptions. For example, *.domain.com will unblock or block all subdomains, but sometimes the main domain is unaffected. A second rule will need to be added for only "domain.com". There is also some things that could be streamlined. I feel some of the ways to go about pulling reports and viewing student analytics are a bit clunky and could be more user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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