It's easy to use and set up, but I've faced performance problems
Quad9 is a DNS filter, so it filters unwanted malware. It's one of the five layers of protection I use. I have a router with a firewall enabled plus DNS filtering. Each device has Norton 360 installed.  We've had performance problems with Quad9. It isn't responding fast enough.  I was using a…

Has an easy-to-manage administrator console and provides a straightforward setup process
Trend Micro effectively supports our remote workforce by securing our web servers from external threats, particularly browser security.

Since switching to Trend Micro, we have benefited from features such as ransomware protection, behavioral monitoring, and backup capabilities, which were significant factors in our decision to migrate. The administrator console is easy to manage and user-friendly. I rate it an eight out of ten. I highly recommend Trend Micro products. They offer a robust solution, and if budget is not an issue, there are more options available in the market to consider as well.

Cons

"It used to work fine for all the devices, but it started to slow and become non-responsive. I would have to reload the page two or three times before all the pages loaded. With OpenDNS, I only need to load the page once."
"Quad9 could improve by having more free features, such as custom DNS filtering."
"his legacy version currently lacks WFA, which is a useful tool for managing bandwidth and applying data control limits to specific users. It's especially beneficial for organizations using Android and Azure."
"The installation is a little bit complex."
"The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"What could help Trend Micro Web Security in terms of improvement is the addition of a DDoS protection feature. It also needs to be more comprehensive to meet the needs of large-sized companies."
"The product's scalability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The product should be more secure and stable. It is also not flexible."
"Setup isn't very straightforward. You must have a certified technical engineer."
"The system should generate reports when an attack has been stopped, contained, or removed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Quad9 is free."
"We have found this product to be very cost effective. The endpoint product costs roughly $20, and when purchasing the endpoint product, there are multiple other features included."
"I rate the product price a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The license is yearly and user based."
"The solution is expensive in terms of deployment."
"There's annual and monthly options for the license. When you're on the managed services option, it's monthly. They're also setting up an option via AWS where there will be a monthly option via the AWS shopfront."
"I don't remember the exact pricing, but I think that it is approximately $10.00 per user."
"We pay for the license on an annual basis."
"I rate the product's price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
