Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Strong endpoint control features Reliable day-to-day functionality Good reporting and monitoring capabilities
  • How it makes it easy to track user web browsing activity is the best aspect ever. It allows us to permanently monitor our workstations and detect visits to inappropriate sites.
  • I like that it is able to effectively block non-work-related sites. It is easy to update and import settings from one user to another. It has a number of filtering features to protect your online activities. I strongly advice you to use BrowseControl.
  • Controls all USB devices to ensure they does not end up accessing corporate crucial data. I like the notifications it sends to email in real time to warn about any violation of security policies.

Cons

  • Lack of transparency around renewal and cancellation terms Rigid licensing model with strict cutoff requirements Fragility when moving or reconfiguring the system Migration and database challenges
  • I don't feel there is any missing capability on this platform.
  • The exceptional performance of BrowseControl leaves me with absolutely nothing to complain.
  • The setup process can be a bit complicated, so it's important to read the instructions carefully.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It's easy to configure, works fine and efficiently. This product covers almost every content that we wanted to block. Since we've installed FlashStart, our students had never seen bad web content again.
  • This was a very easy setup. Just added to my router and it started working right away. Had a couple websites that it was blocking that we used and adding them to the allow list was quick and simple. Glad I found the website. Much simpler than trying to setup my own filter.
  • Tool well-built and simple to use. Possibility of implementation at network level or directly at endpoints. Anycast network with excellent performance in all major locations. Fast and efficient support. Current technology integrated with artificial intelligence where we can really guarantee security. Collection method and attractive prices.
  • FlashStart is set up in a few minutes and is a high value solution for our customers. Malware Protection works at its best. As a customer, you retrieve reports every week showing nicely how effectively protection works. The team from FlashStart works close with its partners and is implementing ideas proposed by them.

Cons

  • Honestly there's nothing to me to be considered as a con.
  • Figuring out what package I needed to purchase. It's sold based of the number of devices connected and it took me awhile to figure that out as a school we get a lot of extra devices connected to our network at different times. It would be nice if the filter would of kept a tally of how many devices hit it during my trial.
  • So far everything is perfect, as expected. In occasional problems related to small details such as uncategorized local domains, we called support and were quickly attended to.
  • In five years of using FlashStart the service once was not available for about half an hour.
