Also, it would be nice to be able to search for a blocked/allowed website, to find on what level in the hierarchy it was blocked/allowed. > > Most of the problems I deal with are allowing access to websites or blocking. Also, white listing sites to allow programs to function correctly.

Their support is absolutely fantastic. > > **Cons**: Everything that was a con has been fixed or the feature was added. > > We use this for all of our devices, from iPads and Chromebooks for the students to staff workstations and it all works flawlessly. ----- ### "Lightspeed Is a Great Company" — 5.0/5 > **Kevin** | *06 August 2020* | Primary/Secondary Education | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The support is exceptional for this company. It's chat based but they are extremely responsive and are able to assist remotely for quick fixes if issues arise. The product is easy to implement and robust in features. The granularity of reporting is just what we need to so we know the who, when, and what of our student internet access. I sleep easier knowing the lightspeed content filter is helping to protect our students. > > **Cons**: There are many levels to this software and it can get quite complicated if you dive deep enough. Again, support is top notch so this is not really an issue. ----- ### "Lightspeed brings out the light of things" — 5.0/5 > **Sonia** | *01 August 2022* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: My teachers like the fact that they were able to monitor students' computer access, helping them have better Classroom management > > **Cons**: The teachers really did not have anything negative about this software just the fact that we were unable to use it with our surface pros. > > An excellent way to keep students on track. ----- ### "Relay for Chromebooks" — 5.0/5 > **Brad** | *29 July 2020* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of pushing the Relay extension to our chromebooks has been the biggest benefit. Once we set up the configuration in our Google Admin our chromebooks automatically install the software and the students online activity can then be monitored and adjusted. > > **Cons**: We created two buildings in the Relay system in order to customize settings based on grade level. However, the process of moving large numbers of students from one building to another is cumbersome. > > If you have chromebooks, then a product such as Relay is a must have. I literally do not know how we would manage our student's online activity without it. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2047901/lightspeed-filter?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2047901/lightspeed-filter) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
