Finally, a truly enterprise solution for Windows that filters internet and blocks apps.
In a school computer lab setting, it is important to have granular control of student computers. Most solutions either break down or can be sideswiped or eluded. I find this suite of products to be very solid, easily deployable, and simple to manage.
Pros
Ease of use on account of its very robust admin console that allows for nuanced control of PCs and delivers excellent and useful reports (BrowseReporter). The software is not overly intrusive yet offers outstanding management control. Of the few issues that came up in the install, tech support was beyond outstanding.
Cons
One drawback: it only works on Windows machines. It also took me months of searching to find this solution after testing and rejecting products from other vendors.
