The approach from the software gives a central solution, where all threats are well coordinated and immediate actions taken.

What do you like best about FlashStart?

Flashstart is capable of providing various DNS protocols which ease the process of acquiring information, analyzing the patterns, monitoring thresholds and cataloging all activities for quick reference. It effectively adheres blocking of dangerous domains which could potentially impact our customer's data integrity. For some known domains, if we install our certification authority on our internal devices then we would be able to access these blocked websites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FlashStart?

In some cases, the changes made to our Blacklist & Whitelist configurations did not appear due to latency issues. We cleared our cached data and reloaded our website to view the change history. It would be great if we have an automated feature to carry out this entire process with one click. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Configuring our Dynamic DNS (DDNS) is made simple after we started using FlashStart. For preventing our customers from browsing without filters, we enable its auto-redirect feature for security governance. We also configure filtering rules for blocking a few sites that come under the restricted network category. By establishing multi-profile categorization, we can customize our user profiles on a granular level and associate them with a unique network based on our network policies. This ensures that we follow our security standards & compliance which is crucial for our end users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about FlashStart?

Cloud-Based DNS and URL filtering, is what I will describe in 2 words. This does not require any on-prem infrastructure or server to be setup for using this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FlashStart?

It filters only at DNS level. If users change the DNS server in their System, It is difficult to have control on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FlashStart:

Very lightweight, user-friendly, and cost-effective URL filtering, and DNS security solution. Consumers must think to buy it if they have a basic setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Our users behind the Flash start app are protected against DNS threats and we use it also to do basic URL filtering for in-house and roaming users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about FlashStart?

As a system integrator I'm constantly looking for flexible solutions to suggest to my customers. I like the fact Flashstart Webflters can be used with a wide range of router and firewall brands. I'm a certified Mikrotik professional and with this product I can improve dramatically my Routerboards security features with no further effort. Moreover the possibility to integrate these filters to an existing Active Directory Domain structure is just great. In my opinion they offer the best in SMEs and Public Administrations because they can be adapted to preexisting infrastructures reducing the costs, but I'm starting to use them in larger environments as well and the performances are just as good.

Support is also very good and realiable, they often organise useful webinars (non just commercial ones) and I'm really happy with my personal consultant, they anser in no time and reall y try to solve your problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FlashStart?

They could probably improve the backend website, some features are slightly counter intutive but still not a big deal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FlashStart:

If you want just give a try, it's free and support is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Most of the firewall I use in my setups lack af a proper IPS (intrusion preventions system) Flashstart Webfilters just add a fundamental security layer in no time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
