Drag and Drop Rules Creation: Several users have praised the drag and drop rules creation feature, which has made it effortless for them to build rules without much effort.
Simplicity of User Interface: Reviewers appreciate the simplicity of the user interface, allowing them to easily choose what they want to block or allow and submit their selections.
Convenient Website Unblocking Requests: The ability to request website unblocking by filling out a few boxes and then allowing or declining the request with just a few clicks has been mentioned as a convenient feature by multiple users.
Insufficient Reporting Depth: Some users have expressed that the reporting feature in Censornet Web Security lacks sufficient depth, as it only allows for filtering by domains rather than specific webpages. This limitation requires users to export reports and manually filter the information using external programs like Microsoft Excel.
Cumbersome Management of Custom Allowed URLs: Several reviewers have mentioned that there can be a lot of manual entries required to avoid false negatives when using Censornet Web Security. While this is not unique to Censornet, it can result in a long list of custom allowed URLs, which may become cumbersome to manage over time.
Less Than Ideal Implementation Option for Chromebooks: According to some users, the implementation option for Chromebooks in Censornet Web Security is not considered ideal unless they are used in a single-user environment or if device-based filtering is acceptable instead of user-based filtering.
