F-Secure Alternative

MACHINE LEARNING VS.THREAT FEEDS

Our solution doesn’t just rely on a list of threat feeds, we are powered by machine learning. F-Secure uses just threat feeds, and they don’t have any imagery-based phishing detection.

This gives our users zero-day threat protection so they’re protected even if a threat has never been seen before. In fact, we block new threats before other major threat feeds. What this really means is that if you visit a malicious site that isn’t a part of our database of deceptive threats, you’re still covered. Our system will scan the website before allowing the page to resolve, and block the domain if it’s found to be a threat.

F-Secure does use AI, but it is limited and doesn’t scan the page. Their AI works on the backend, allowing them to add new threats from external sources to their database of threats. Then, when someone makes a DNS query, it checks against the database.

F-secure has a database that is dynamically added to, but DNSFilter’s database uses the real-time web classification that happens each time a user visits a page. Any new threats we find as we scan user sites are automatically added to our database. Our users don't need to tell us about new threats, we already know. Whereas F-Secure doesn't have this capability. Their users need to manually update block lists or contact the company, which causes delays and frustration for end users.

SUPERIOR ACCURACY

F-Secure’s domain database relies on a free service called Quad9. They’ve created their domain database by ingesting a variety of threat lists. What Quad9 doesn’t do when importing these lists is check the validity of these domains.

Our domain database is carefully maintained. Each threat feed that is added to the database is examined to make sure that well-known, safe websites are not found on a block list. Monthly reviews of our domain database are also performed, looking for false positives that may have cropped up. Preserving domain database health is important to make sure that users don’t run into erroneously blocked websites.

DNS Filtration that just works

I haven't found anything I don't like about DNSFilter. I've never had issues with it or needed to troubleshoot it. It just works and it listens to me. Customer support is extremely responsive, gives quick and concise answers with little to no time wasted.

Does what the product claims; good value for the price

We use the product for handling business URL filtering. The DNS look ups are fast and the management of allow/deny lists is pretty easy. Reporting is useful. There are some cool features for granular management at an individual machine level. The price is quite reasonable for what it does. It's pretty much set and forget.

Its raining malware but I wont reach for my Umbrella, but DNS Filter instead

The ease of use and overall ability to block applications, limit search engines, block a number of threat types and add good sites to a whitelist or block a known bad site in a blacklist. Reporting is also the BEST I have seen as it is so easy to find good and bad blocks...allowing you to easily and daily to monitor and update lists as needed.

DNSFilter - A Fast, Easy, And Reliable DNS Filtering Solution

Setup and deployment were super easy. Support has been excellent. Overall, the product is a nice addition to our security stack, blocking threats at the DNS level.

DNSFilter Is A No Brainer. It Cost Less Than Its Competitors And Easy To Setup.

DNSFilter is easy to setup and configure. I was up and running in a day. It works on all OS platforms and doesn't interfere with our end users doing their jobs.

Compliance Level DNS Filtering

Provides client level installation for DNS filtering when outside of the building. Complements EndPoint and Firewall web filtering by processing all DNS requests through an active filter to help stop malware distribution. We can distribute the product uniquely using RMM to each customer and management and controls are customer unique.

Great platform, even greater customer support

It is incredibly easy to get started. The interface is very user-friendly. If you have any issues, the customer support chat is handy. You get connected to an actual human, not just a chatbot.

Fast to deploy, protect an entire network in a minute

Good web filtering for all our locations, we also deployed the roaming client to cover our users when they are outside the company network. It is also our first level of defense if there is a threat as the domain might be blocked before our EPP / EDR detect something.

Easy-to-use DNS security solution

I love how DNSFilter is constantly being updated with new features and security updates. This gives me peace of mind knowing that my business is always protected from the latest online threats.

Finally, a DNS filter that actually works!

DNSFilter has proven to be one of the easiest solutions to implement. The intuitive interface makes on-going administration a breeze. We're happy to know our internet security stack is protected and the accurate categorization of traffic has not interfered with approved business functions.
