Content filter Bloxx “in a different league”
by David Masters
Web content filter Bloxx is “in a different league” compared to other content monitoring solutions, according to the Ian Trevean, network manager at Hampton School.
Hampton School installed Bloxx’s Tru-View appliance 12 months ago to monitor the Internet usage of its 1,100 students and 200 staff.
The school’s previous security solution prevented the school’s IT managers from reclassifying sites that needed to be blocked or allowed.
Instead, they had to submit requests to their managed service provider, which was time consuming for the IT team, and frustrating for teaching staff.
“This inflexibility made it extremely difficult to apply our Acceptable Use Policy effectively,” Trevean said.
Bloxx, however, provides the flexibility needed to effectively manage and monitor Internet content.
“One of the key benefits of Bloxx is definitely the ability to provide variable Internet access dependent on the students’ year group or subjects,” Trevean said.
“Although Tru-View Technology automatically scans and filters websites, we can now easily permit access to blocked sites which has reduced the time spent rectifying access problems by half.”
Bloxx is more expensive than the school’s previous solution, Trevean said, but “time saved and ease-of-use more than make up for this.”
“Cheap is not always best – Bloxx is in a different league,” he concluded.
