### "Relay & Chromebooks"

July 27, 2020

5.0

Relay improved so much that I implemented the software district wide. It works very well for us and allows me to easily manage sites for my users.

Pros

We went with Relay because we needed a software that could filter my Chromebooks, which it does very well!

Cons

With every new software title there is a learning curve. However, the tech support made the implementation as smooth as they could.

### "Complete Package"

July 27, 2020

5.0

Relay has allowed me to better protect my users and network from questionable content on the web.

Pros

Everything about this software is wonderful. Ease of use, data collection, reporting, etc. I have used several types of filtering software in my career and this is the best by far. Being able to drill down from a user or from a site is simplistic and insightful.

Cons

I have found no areas where I have had to call for support. No cons for this product from me.

Lightspeed have been amazing and very proactive to introduce new features based on customer feedback. The product is very reliable and the flexibility of it being based in the cloud has enable a more proactive approach to keeping children safe online.

Pros

Relay has been an amazing transformation from a locked down, unreliable on premise system that has now enabled more proactive monitoring on top of the filtering.

Cons

There's nothing not to like about it, everything you need is there.

### "Best in Class!"

July 27, 2020

5.0

Reduces overall web traffic by filtering the majority of non-business related and unwanted bandwidth hogs such as ads, social media, and casual streaming. Helps us concentrate our usage to the task at hand.

Pros

I love how the software continues to have features and security added with each update.

Cons

The only drawback is deployment of updated client app and/or extensions. Should automatically update when made available to all clients.

### "Game changer for schools"

June 24, 2022

4.0

Pros

The learning curve is very minimal for this software and it makes keeping staff/students safe on the web much easier than the traditional systems. I love that it is specifically focused on school features and usage instead of being strictly technology focused.

Cons

Needs more robust connections with Azure AD.

### "Focused on Customer"

July 27, 2020

5.0

Relay continually improves and offers the best customer service experience in comparison to many competitors.

Pros

Very geared towards providing the best customer experience with highly customizable backend, great customer service model, and easy accessibility for support.

Cons

It is hard to implement various syncing tools at the same time. Due to nature of k12 and being a hodgepodge of devices and MDMs, it would be great to be able to partially sync directories based on criteria.

Reason for choosing Lightspeed Filter

Best pricing, best customization, unparalleled customer service.
