The fact that they were willing to give us six months free was at least an attempt at fixing their mistake.

Their system was decent - their blocking worked most of the time other than the miscategorizations. And like most DNS services like this, it's dumb-simple to use - simply add their DNS to your firewall or to your AD Forwarders, and you're set. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
So.... I dunno about you, but I don't want to trust a company where the Senior Account Manager doesn't even do the due diligence to get the customer's NAME right. Your company already screwed up, and you're trying to apologize... by using the wrong name? Pretty bad look on top of already bad looks.

We were a happy customer of SafeDNS for exactly 2 years. I mean EXACTLY because when their billing emails went to spam and we didn't know, we didn't get a call during the previous month asking if everything was okay - we just got all DNS requests BLOCKED immediately at the expiration date. That's NOT how you handle non-payment. You have to assume that emails are not the best communication avenue and GIVE THE CUSTOMER A CALL to make sure they actually wanted to cancel - not just block all their DNS requests immediately on the end date.

Safe DNS is such a simple and effective system for content filtering. Support from the service desk is quick if you need advanced help, this is worth paying for, compared to free DNS filtering systems which do not offer personal support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
So far I have not found anything that I dislike about the product. It meets all of my requirements for the multiple locations that I am protecting with the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I like best about SafeDNS is its ease of use and reliability. The filtering works seamlessly in the background without slowing down the network. Plus they have the most accurate web categorization, we have come across. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Few times, we have noticed that popular websites/Apps in some countries have missed the web category, because of that manual intervention is required. Database should be updated on Realtime basis .But overall, these are minor issues compared to the overall effectiveness of the service Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Using on a number of public WiFi networks. Once configured at network level, it just gets on with it, and you know your users are safe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not sure as it works well for our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
presets are very good, friendly interface Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
whitelists are a bit hard to manage, would be good if there was a feature to unblock website directly from block page and bundle related url's better Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We have been using SafeDNS for about six years now. Overall it has been a set it and forget it experience for most of our team. There have been occasional needs to whitelist items but overall we have seen a huge reduction in the appearance of popups, and accessing of questionable sites.

I dont know if there is a whole lot to say neagtively. Overall my only issue is taht there is not a "quick" way to setup the system to work directly with our unifi system but the directiosn provided worked well and still work today. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our team wishs we had an option of iOS agent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love I can create different profiles based on each user requirement. A huge list of categories I can use to block the non-work-related services and web pages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would like to have an option to block some apps ports so the user could not access certain apps that waste work time. I know I can use categories but I think blocking ports could be more useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
