Clario has all the apps I need in one!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

My company operates in seven different countries. That’s why we need to access websites restricted in our area to ensure our products are correctly placed. Thankfully Clario provides an exceptional vpn tool that helps us change locations and open these unavailable websites. This vpn is great and has like a hundred or two of servers - unlike our previous vpn, you can select up to 10 servers in one location. What's even better is that the subscription covers two additional devices so I use it on my iPhone as well. The app is packed with more tools like ad-blocker that prevents site pop ups and displays the number of ads and trackers blocked. I have noticed that some websites now load faster as a result. The app also spots malicious sites as you search which I’ve found extremely helpful. I was about to follow a malicious link but Clario alerted me and saved me from doing that.

Pros

  • Built in vpn (best server is usually the fastest one)
  • Ad blocker cleans up nearly all website pop-ups
  • Malicious link checker is great for safer searching

Cons

  • Opting for a business subscription would be a great choice
  • File shredding not included - we use another app for that
  • Add reminders to avoid forgetting scans

Most Important Features

  • Vpn tool
  • Ad blocker
  • Fraud link checker

Return on Investment

  • Vpn helps me check foreign product placement on time and meet deadlines
  • My overall productivity has improved after the app removed browser pop-ups
  • I haven't experienced any negative impacts since using the app

Smooth and Friendly Clario is a Hit Among Privacy Apps ;)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use my personal devices while working, so I wanted to be sure my personal data is kept private from the corporate. After doing some research, I chose Clario and installed it on my iPhone and MacBook. I mostly use the mobile version. It has a perfect ad blocker for Safari and checks the safety of links I click. I do tons of research for work and studies so it really comes in handy.

Pros

  • Clario extension for safari blocks most pop-ups and annoying ads on websites.
  • Clario shows a green or red checkmark next to each Safari search result, which signals whether the link is safe or not.
  • It's really easy to enable the VPN feature when I need to access other countries' search results, and to overall keep my data secured while using different Wi-Fi networks.
  • I like their impeccable support service. If I have any questions, they usually reply in the chat within a few seconds. I've talked to a few of their agents regarding different issues, and all of them were very friendly, helpful, and nice.
  • It's not often you come across such a smooth and pretty design. I like how the Clario mobile app looks and how it guides me through all of the steps to secure my device.
  • Clario doesn't send me a bunch of annoying notifications daily as many other apps tend to do. Almost all of their alerts are about the useful things I need to pay attention to keep my data secured. Which is lovely and helpful, and not at all annoying. I hate when apps send a bunch of unnecessary notifications.

Cons

  • Clario seems to constantly improve its app. I see it in the list of apps that are updated on my devices often. Which is a good sign for me. This means they're probably fixing or adding new stuff constantly. They also seem to be releasing new features once in a while, which I usually enjoy using, so I have no recommendations. The app does everything I need it to do.

Most Important Features

  • I am a big fan of Ad Blocker.
  • Web Protection to check for malicious links before clicking on them.
  • VPN works fine too.

Return on Investment

  • It helps me to save time and be more productive.
