Agile Solution with full functionality

We use the product mainly to protect the internet browsing of users who use our Hot-Spot system. In some cases it has been implemented in companies. It is also very suitable for schools.

PROS

It is a product that we have been dealing with for some years and we appreciate its immediacy. it is simple to configure and has a very intuitive management console. The web-filtering functions are complete and we have never experienced any problems.

CONS

Over the years the price list has undergone some changes. Although this did not imply any increases, management had its complications.

Reason for choosing Flashstart

Flashstart is more suitable for the solutions we offer and has a better quality / price ratio

Very satisfied!

PROS

FlashStart combines an extremely simple and intuitive management and configuration with high efficiency, thanks to the quality of the lists provided; filtering of results on Google and Bing searches and the presence of anti-malware blacklists is also highly appreciated. Definitely a very useful tool for filtering content at company level, highly recommended in environments with the presence of minors. In our company we known Flashstart for several years now and we have developed a very easy to use integration that allows you to use their filters with our UTM firewall (NethSecurity) just with one clic.

CONS

Until now there were limitations on being able to use different navigation profiles, but recently the possibility of managing multiple profiles with the Pro + mode has come out, so these limitations have also disappeared.

FreshSales, a good choice

I had the need to activate an immediate protection plan and the FlashStart solution appeared one of the best and sold to an excellent price / performance ratio, therefore I tried the Service and then I confirmed it due to fact that I was satisfied and got what I expected

PROS

What I did like is the activation timing which is "in minutes". On top of that I did also like the Customer Service which is professional and accurate

CONS

At the moment I cannot mention anything least... and I hope to continue like this.
