In their own words
DNSFilter
DNSFilter provides protective DNS and content filtering for organizations managing threats and workplace internet use. It categorizes billions of domains with Webshrinker machine-learning categorization, while AppAware can block more than 100 risky applications. DNSFilter says its real-time threat categorization can identify threats 10 days faster than other threat feeds. Deployments include network configuration, a DNS relay, and roaming clients for Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Chrome. Listed controls include DNS encryption such as DNS-over-TLS, custom blocklists, safe search, filtering schedules, and advanced activity reports. Active Directory Sync Tool supports up to 500,000 users and applies policies by user or group. Integrations include Microsoft Entra, Active Directory, Zapier, API access, and an MCP Connector. Data Export supports Amazon S3 and Splunk, with Microsoft Sentinel also named. API access is included in all plans, with rate limits but no overall usage cap. Pricing starts at $1/mo (annual), with a 14-day trial and no free plan.
Senso.cloud
Senso.cloud combines classroom, network, safeguarding and asset management in a platform designed for schools, districts, students, teachers and IT teams. It also offers employee device monitoring for businesses. Depending on the modules selected, teams can monitor activity, view live screens, filter web content and manage devices. Safeguarding features include logging and blocking, raising concerns, and monitoring Microsoft Teams chat for inappropriate messages and images. Class Instructor integrates with Microsoft Teams, Google Classroom and ClassLink, with sync support for Azure AD, Teams and Google Classroom. The platform runs on Microsoft Azure, where each organization has its own tenancy. Senso says its cloud can scale from a room with 30 machines to deployments involving tens of thousands of machines. Modules are independently designed and interchangeable, and granular permissions let organizations assign tools and data access by role. Supported platforms include Windows, Chrome OS, macOS and iOS. The macOS client is being released in stages; the first release lacks a background service at the logon screen. Listed plans start at £1.00 per user or device per year, depending on the module. There is no free plan, and trials are offered at Senso's discretion.
