About

WatchGuard DNSWatch is a Cloud-based service adding DNS-level filtering to detect and block potentially dangerous connections and protect networks and employees from damaging attacks. WatchGuard analysts triage any critical alerts, following up with an easy-to-understand accounting that includes detailed insights about the potential infection. When the attack uses phishing, and an employee clicks the link, DNSWatch automatically redirects them away from the malicious site and offers resources that reinforce phishing education. Hackers rely on DNS to execute attacks on unsuspecting victims, so careful examination of DNS requests is a great way to find and ultimately intercept attacks! DNSWatch brings DNS-level filtering into our Total Security Suite, providing an added layer of security to stop malware infections. Unwitting attempts to connect to known malicious DNS addresses by your users are automatically blocked, and the user is seamlessly redirected to a safe landing page.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • LinkSentry’s real-time monitoring effectively catches malicious, NSFW, and broken links across our school network’s websites, preventing repeats of past issues with inappropriate content. The javascript snippet was easy to add, and the customizable policies allow precise alert tuning. The dashboards provide clear, actionable insights, ensuring our sites remain secure and trustworthy.
  • I have used broken-link checkers for close to a decade now. I switched to LinkSentry when I realized that it can detect not just broken links, but many more kinds of unwanted content, like links to adult websites, and links that redirect to other sites when visited. Moreover, the tool was able to find many more broken links than previous tools (I believe this is because of the JS library that it uses).
  • LinkSentry continuously monitors external links for security threats, giving us confidence that our site is protected. It’s reliable and does exactly what it promises.

Cons

  • The detailed email reports, while comprehensive, can be overwhelming. A concise summary option would better suit my team's workflow. Considering the Slack integration upgrade for faster alerts.
  • I wish that LinkSentry could do something about the broken links other than flag them to me. Maybe remove them (if possible) or warn my users not to click on them.
  • No major drawbacks so far. Would love to see even more integrations in the future.
