Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • NxFilter has been a great solution for our university (UEMASUL – Universidade Estadual da RegiĂŁo Tocantina do MaranhĂŁo). It is lightweight, easy to deploy, and offers excellent control over DNS and web filtering policies. The user interface is intuitive, and the reporting tools make it simple to monitor network activity. The support team is responsive and very helpful whenever assistance is needed.
  • What I really like is how simple the installation process is. It sets up quickly on both Windows Server and Linux or another The online documentation is clear and detailed, and the automatic site categorization provided by the database is a real plus.
  • I really appreciate the ease of installation. It installs very easily on Windows Server or on Linux, for example. The online documentation is very comprehensive. The biggest advantage is the database that automatically sorts the sites.

Cons

  • There is a small learning curve at first when setting up policies and user groups, but once configured, it runs very smoothly.
  • Nothing major to point out, just that I didn’t find anything I particularly disliked.
  • Nothing special, worth noting that I didn’t like it.
