Compare Control D vs. N-able DNS Filtering

Control D is a customizable DNS filtering and traffic redirection platform that leverages Secure DNS protocols like DNS-over-HTTPS, DNS-over-TLS and DNS-over-QUIC, with support for Legacy DNS. With Control D you can: block malicious threats, block unwanted types of content network wide (ads & trackers, IoT telemetry, adult content, socials, and more), redirect traffic using transparent proxies and gain visibility on network events and usage patterns, with client level granularity. Think of it as your personal Authoritative DNS resolver for the entire Internet that gives you granular control over what domains get resolved, redirected or blocked.

Proactively safeguard against the ever-increasing number of harmful websites and malicious advertisements that emerge daily by utilizing N‑able™ DNS Filtering. This solution provides enhanced protection, improved network oversight, and user-specific reporting, all accessible through the N‑able N-central® dashboard. As new threats such as zero-day vulnerabilities, ransomware, and fileless malware continuously appear, traditional web content filtering tools often fall short, leaving vulnerabilities in their wake. With many MSP clients now working remotely, the risk of encountering security threats has escalated. The rise in aggressive phishing scams, ransomware, and malware necessitates the adoption of more advanced tools to combat these dangers effectively. Technicians often find it cumbersome to switch between multiple screens to access various client dashboards, which highlights the need for a streamlined approach. By consolidating security products on a single platform, the likelihood of errors can be minimized. Additionally, the rapid evolution of harmful sites and cyberthreats means that many MSPs are increasingly aware of the need to enhance client visibility regarding their security measures. Ultimately, providing transparent reporting on protection levels can foster greater trust between MSPs and their clients.
