Qustodio helps schools and families keep children safe online. It is cloud-based software that filters apps and websites automatically, offers reporting, and works on platforms including Mac, Windows, Chromebook, iOS, Kindle and Android.
If you are looking for something relatively inexpensive to lock down specific computers, it would be a useful tool. If the computers themselves aren't too locked down, implementation and management shouldn't be too difficult.

Qustodio is well-suited for organizations that want to monitor and manage internet usage to ensure a safe and productive online environment. It is useful for companies with strict internet usage policies, as well as those with a bring your own device policy. However, in scenarios where employees need a significant level of internet freedom to perform their job functions, Qustodio may be less appropriate.

Our primary policy is a restricted list, so that does as advertised. We had one location that had blocks based on categories (adult, illegal, etc). We continually had issues with sites getting completely blocked due to unrelated content. For example, Yahoo had a beer ad on the page, alcohol was blocked, so Yahoo became blocked for the period of time that ad was displayed. We had this happen multiple times and eventually switched to a different solution at that location.
I've had issues with their cloud portal not working. I don't have to edit our configuration often, but on numerous occasions, i was unable to get the configuration page to load after login, sometimes for days. The platform just wasn't stable when I needed it to be.
We run many of our remote rooms as frozen (after logoff they reset to the image). This works fine most times, but when content protect needs a configuration change pushed down, someone needs to go 'thaw' the computers, download the updated configuration, and re-'freeze' the computer. It would be nice if that information was just dynamic from the cloud and didn't need to be pulled down.
The categorization used for policies is very limited and not flexible or easily customizable.

At the time ContentProtect was selected, Forcepoint (Websense at the time) didn't have an inexpensive or cloud type product. The same can be said with Cisco, at that time. Recently, we have reevaluated and are going to be transitioning to Forcepoint's mobile client and removing ContentProtect from our environment. The cost is actually now less and we will be able to get both more dynamic control and also give us more detailed reporting on the traffic from clients.

Qustodio stacks up well against other products like Norton Family, Kaspersky Safe Kids, and Net Nanny in terms of its features and capabilities. All of these products offer similar features like website filtering, app management, and monitoring of internet activities. However, Qustodio stands out for its ease of use and user-friendly interface. It also offers more granular controls for setting time limits and restrictions, and the alerts it sends are more detailed and informative. Additionally, Qustodio's customer support is also very responsive and helpful.We selected Qustodio over the other products because it offered the best balance of features, ease of use, and customer support. It was also more cost-effective than some of the other options. Overall, Qustodio has proven to be a reliable and effective solution for our organization's internet usage management needs.

It was a relatively inexpensive and simple solution when we needed one relatively quickly, which is a positive. The inexpensive price has kept it in the environment.
The lack of reliable reporting has lead to the need for an alternate monitoring solution in a few cases. Network level reporting was used, which is a separate expense, configuration.
Time has been lost waiting on the portal and then troubleshooting support tickets when sites that shouldn't have been blocked have been blocked. It has resulted in changes for locations that needed dynamic category filtering as opposed to a finite list.
The blocking of sites based on add traffic or sub-sites (rather than just blocking that content like other solutions) has resulted in downtime during classes when those sites were listed in the lesson plan and had previously worked.
