Bloxx Web Filtering Voted “Best in Tech” by Education Administrators
May 2010 by Marc Jacob
Bloxx, the innovator in Web and Email filtering, has received a “Best in Tech” award for “Web Filtering Safety Nets” by Scholastic Administr@tor, a leading education technology publication.
An independent panel of school district administrators voted for the Bloxx Web Filter after extensively evaluating and assessing the product’s ability to cope with the demanding technology needs of education organizations.
Bloxx customer David Holmes, Network and Systems Technician at Schoharie School District in New York, says:
“The Bloxx Web Filter has saved me a tremendous amount of time. For instance, in terms of misclassified Websites, with our previous solution I had to report an average of 10 of these a week to their Support Team; with Bloxx, I’ve reported one and I’ve been a customer for almost a year; I’m a very happy customer.”
“The Bloxx appliance is very customizable and allows me to create multiple flexible policies depending on the department or user. As its design is not “a blanket policy for all”, I receive far less complaints about Web pages being blocked that should be allowed for particular subjects. The administration is pleased that instructional staff are comfortable with their access, are not blocked from instructional URL sites that they need to use, and not overly restricted to the point of frustration with the technology,” concludes Holmes.
