  "Defective Product, Defective Company!"

  by Gremlin1975 on August 7, 2007

  Cons: After installation, this program will begin failing at boot time. Tried it on two different machines, with the same results. E-mails and trouble tickets to the company for support go unanswered. Their telephone number is never answered by a human - just a VM system that tells you to go online, or leave a message. Guess what - messages aren't returned either! Their "support" page is only partially active (no Troubleshooting content, no Downloads), and the Online Support link at the support site always shows that no support agents are available. Software that doesn't work, and a company that doesn't support it - don't even take the time to put this on your PC!

  BTW, if you read all the "positive" reviews for this product, you'll notice the same verbiage in many of them, and blatant marketing content in nearly all. It's pretty obvious that all of these positive reviews are shills posted by the company to attempt to trick users into believing that there are people out there who are happy with this software.

  "THIS ONE INCLUDES ALL THE DESIRED FEATURES"

  by armando_venezuela on May 30, 2007

  Pros: Blocks the websites based on schedule; provides limitations on the user access time based on schedule ; Filters the keywords based on schedule ; As per requirement of the administrator I ran block the other users from accessing certain drives ; Automatically deletes all saved temporary files that internet explorer creates when you visit the web sites or download the content with it.

  Cons: Some features are included in only some editions of it. So in case of change in our requirements we need to upgrade the software.

  Cons: Need to modify the block list as given in the manual to make it work as desired.

  "KEEP A WATCH ON STUDENTS� ACTIVITIES"

  by frasier_fan on April 30, 2007

  Pros: �Online Safety shield �seems to be the best solution for institutes like schools, colleges or any education institute. We are one of the best education institutes in our city. Actually, we were looking for such software as some of our students were misusing the internet facility provided by our institute. Our main aim in providing the internet facility is to allow students to explore on technical topics and to go through its technical papers available on net. This software allows us to do the same with authorized access.

  Cons: The picture libraries can be allowed to access, if blocked, by modifying the block list.
