"The user interface is great. It's very easy to tailor to our client's environment and needs."
"Some clients only want DNS security, while others want more of the advanced features that it has available."
"We've found it to be stable and good for our customers."

"Technical support is pretty sharp and very responsive."
"I would like them to make some videos, practical videos, the kind with steps that people can use to learn and deploy"
