"You guys have the best support I've ever witnessed"
"You guys have the best support I've ever witnessed. Your pricing was tremendous and your product did exactly as advertised.
I have always told everyone I meet that your product, support and pricing was the best I had ever seen. No one offers a second standby box for $500 and support calls picked up every time. I will continue to praise you guys to whoever asks. " |

"I’ve recommended your product to multiple schools, and I know of at least three that are using it and are extremely happy with your product"
"We’re extremely happy with WirelessTrakker (WT). We had been using an old Wi-Fi setup with Linksys access points that had none of the features we needed. WT solved all our problems: integration with the SecureSchool content filter for both PCs and our 230 iPads; the ability to regulate WT access points and balance each for various locations as well as adjust projection of each on different frequencies and multiple VLANs; and the flexibility of four SSIDs, including a rotating guest Wi-Fi that expires every 24 hours to ensure integrity of our students’ security and devices.
This year, we used WT technology for standardized testing on our student iPads, and we successfully administered over 165 students simultaneously without any issues. I’ve recommended your product to multiple schools, and I know of at least three that are using it and are extremely happy with your product. Way to go K12USA!

"When looking for a managed Wi-Fi solution for our schools, we checked out quite a few brands but went with WirelessTrakker"
"We wanted a centrally managed system that could travel from one end of the building to another without having to change the SSID. We already had SecureSchool, so I knew if I called with any issues, they’d be smoothed out quickly. Since implementing WirelessTrakker, we’ve met our goal of making every building completely Wi-Fi enabled.
Among the features we love most: multiple SSIDs; easy-to-use, centralized administration; integration with SecureSchool; seamless access-point connections when moving around the building; and awesome technical support. It’s also economical and simple to set up.
When looking for a managed Wi-Fi solution for our schools, we checked out quite a few brands but went with WirelessTrakker. We’re really glad we did—not only because it’s a great system, but because we knew from dealing with K12USA for other products that their support would be there if we hit any bumps in the road. True to form, whenever we call, we always get a reliable tech on the " |

"We are very happy with the SecureSchool solution"
"We were looking for a comprehensive solution to our CIPA needs that was easily manageable, and we’re very pleased with SecureSchool. It allows us to filter access to the Internet in a number of ways that support the direction we’ve gone with our infrastructure. The ability to make changes without technical support frees us up to be very proactive with our filtering. When we do encounter issues, the immediate availability of K12USA tech support is very good—I’ve never had to wait more than a few minutes to have my problem worked on and resolved.
I’d be hard-pressed to name a deficiency—I’ve had a great experience with this system and have recommended SecureSchool to the Region IX Education Cooperative in my area; they’re implementing it at a majority of our member districts.
Thank you for your proactive response to the PARCC testing issues we encountered while trying to use the Pearson products for state-required testing. We found your staff was already aware of these problems—and in many cases—already had solutions. We are very happy with the SecureSchool solution.

"I’ve been recommending SecureSchool for 13 years, and I will continue to do so"
"We needed a firewall and CIPA-compliant filter that could be managed locally and have great technical support. That is exactly what we found with SecureSchool. We’ve been customers for 13 years now, and SecureSchool has met our needs and exceeded our expectations since day one. Their tech support is the best for any product or service I have ever used. I am able to do a lot of management locally. When I can't, getting help from K12USA is a breeze. In addition, SecureSchool’s performance, features, price, and optional services are terrific benefits. I’ve been recommending SecureSchool for 13 years, and I will continue to do so. I’m confident that whoever follows my recommendation will be grateful I made it. " |

"I have never had better support with any other technology company"
"One of our school districts was preparing to renew support licenses for its firewall and web filter. A colleague from another district told us about SecureSchool, and we decided to give it a try. SecureSchool provided more functionality than both the old devices it replaced—at about half the cost.
I was reluctant to install SecureSchool during the school year, but with the help of your amazing support staff, it was actually pretty easy. The appliance was shipped preconfigured, and with Sean’s expertise, we had it up and running in minutes during spring break.
Management of our wireless network has never been easier! Our previous firewall was difficult to understand and configure—I always had to call tech support when making changes, and the support staff were very difficult to understand. I like SecureSchool’s intuitive, easy-to-configure interface and your superior customer support—it’s absolute amazing! When I get in a jam, I make a quick call, which is usually answered immediately, and Sean, Tom, or one of your other product experts resolves the issue in minutes. Your products are great, but your support staff is what truly sets your company apart from the others. I have never had better support with any other technology company. I continually recommend your products and am installing five more SecureSchools this summer." |

"SecureSchool is absolutely the best bang for your buck for any school that needs an all-in-one appliance that practically does it all."
"We were looking for an all-in-one device that could act as our router, proxy, and filter to keep our students safe. More important, we wanted it to be cost effective. Although dealing with a small company can be hit or miss—we were concerned about stability and reliability—our fears were unfounded with K12USA. SecureSchool does its job—and does it well. The easy user interface is simple to manage, straightforward, and user friendly. We love knowing exactly where our Internet traffic goes and that we can quickly and easily block and unblock sites. Plus, we get reports, reports, reports. SecureSchool is absolutely the best bang for your buck for any school that needs an all-in-one appliance that practically does it all. And K12USA has the best tech support in the business. Continue doing what you guys do best!" |

"I would recommend (and have recommended) SecureSchool without hesitation. The product is great and gives you all the flexibility you could ever want. But my favorite part is, in 30 years of doing computer support, I’ve found that K12USA has the best support staff I’ve ever worked with!" |

"When you compare cost with features, you can’t beat it. "
"Our previous filtering solution had a lot of holes. In talking to the manufacturer, we learned that the product could do all the things we needed it to do, we just had to purchase add-ons—and each add-on was thousands of dollars we didn't have. The SecureSchool interface looked “elementary” compared to other products out there—I didn’t know if that was indicative of its performance, capability, and/or support. I’m glad I was wrong!
Content filtering used to be a daily chore, as we were constantly getting reports from teachers about sites that should be blocked—then we’d enter them into the system and hope new sites didn’t pop up. Since switching to SecureSchool, we don’t get those kinds of requests much anymore. It lets my staff and me focus on other issues. I love that SecureSchool integrates with our active directory environment, giving students and staff different levels of access when they log on.
The other benefits are: (1) An always friendly, always personable, always able-to-help support staff. Nine times out of 10, the people answering the phone know the product inside and out and can fix the issue within minutes of diagnosing the problem. That one time out of 10, they’ll immediately get you to someone who can help. (2) SecureSchool keeps it simple. With most other products, the more you tinker with how the filter operates, the more complicated it gets. (3) It works! After the initial setup and configuration process, making tweaks to the system is simple. There’s no question I would recommend this product: When you compare cost with features, you can’t beat it.

"Since implementing SecureSchool, my favorite feature is…not having to worry about the filter!"
"I went with you folks because of the frustrations of having to deal with a SonicWall filter and its expensive tech support. SecureSchool was reasonably priced, so I decided to give it a try. SecureSchool tech support has been the best of any tech company I’ve ever dealt with—I give it an A+. I’m a stressed school IT systems manager, and your team is very helpful. Sean, John, and the others have always been there to troubleshoot problems and find solutions if needed. The appliance is excellent and is packed with more features than expected in a school filter—all at an economical price. Since implementing SecureSchool, my favorite feature is…not having to worry about the filter! It’s a good product with a good interface—and the two other benefits are good support X2. Simply good support—don’t change it. I have recommended SecureSchool to other school techs who haven’t heard of you; I took a chance and found it to be the best. I hope more do, too." |

"I would recommend SecureSchool to any district rolling out iPads and Chromebooks. "
"We wanted filtering on all devices in our district and SecureSchool delivered it, giving us peace of mind that inappropriate sites are being filtered. I appreciate that we were able to swap out our appliance after K12USA reviewed our logs and determined we needed a bigger SecureSchool box—they delivered a new one the next day. The filter has an easy-to-use interface and is cost effective; plus, the tech support is great. I would recommend SecureSchool to any district rolling out iPads and Chromebooks. " |

"TroubleTrakkerPRO prevents things from "falling through the cracks" and makes my job easier."
"I have been very happy with TroubleTrakkerPRO. It makes my job as Technology Director very easy. I can see what needs to be done—and what has been done—with two clicks. I can assign jobs to my techs and add notes to the assignment to help with the troubleshooting. I like that I receive email notifications when a ticket has been entered, when any work has been done on that ticket, and when the job has been completed. We’ve been using this system for two-and-a-half years, and I can’t imagine going back to when we handled all the issues through email. TroubleTrakkerPRO prevents things from "falling through the cracks" and makes my job easier. What more could you ask for from a ticketing system?" |

"Cannot imagine trying to function without them.
"
"We are so pleased with both of these applications. We were looking for a more efficient way of dealing with and tracking a multitude of work orders and tech issues and find that both TroubleTrakkerPRO and WorkTrakkerPRO have really met our needs.
Before using these Web based applications, we used the “standard” paper forms for all requests. Not only were these request forms often received in an untimely fashion, additional time was required for follow-up, status reports, and record keeping of the number of requests submitted. Since implementing these two programs, all of these concerns have been resolved. Although there was some hesitation and lack of cooperation initially by staff, over time everyone has found that these applications have greatly improved the communication between both staff and support staff. Work orders are being received, acted upon, and documented with status reports within a much more improved timeframe.
As an administrator I like the ability to monitor, prioritize and track all work being done, while at the same time maintain a digital record of all work completed. TroubleTrakkerPro and WorkTrakkerPro have benefited everyone. I would highly recommend both applications. They are very effective and so user-friendly. Cannot imagine trying to function without them.

"SecureSchool is a fantastic product with unparalleled customer support"
"I’m super-pro K12USA. Their SecureSchool is a fantastic product with unparalleled customer support. They not only respond rapidly to any question I’ve had, but they’ve help me fix many network problems unrelated to their device. Sean and his team have major networking chops. Time and time again, they’ve saved my staff and students from lost productivity. Some of the big problems: discovered the reason our newly installed VOIP phones were working poorly; why DNS lookups were failing on certain VLAN segments (which could have caused testing schedules to be messed up for the year); how to get our wireless access points properly reconfigured now that we have 500 iPads—with teachers chomping at the bit; and many more. I’m hoping to add their WirelessTrakker system, so I can expand the parts of my network they can help me with. At a time when customer support seems to be increasingly neglected, K12USA rocks it. Oh and their price is fantastic as well. It’s a slam-dunk. " |

"Work no longer gets lost due to poor communication, technicians are no longer
duplicating work, and everything gets addressed."
"We were looking for a way to manage all the technology requests so nothing would get
lost in translation and the staff would know the status of their requests—basically do
away
with all the little pieces of paper with “error message” and “computer problems” written
down. Mission accomplished! We’ve been able to keep accurate records of work done by
technicians and use the reports to help in various ways (like for staffing requests).
This web-based program is extremely easy to use. Work no longer gets lost due to poor
communication, technicians are no longer duplicating work, and everything gets
addressed." |

"Now my entire district knows that the fastest and easiest way to get my department’s help is with TroubleTrakkerPRO."
"Prior to TroubleTrakkerPRO, I had to juggle requests via emails, voicemails, notes on my office door, you name it. Now my entire district knows that the fastest and easiest way to get my department’s help is with TroubleTrakkerPRO. The guided problem-reporting feature makes it easy for users to describe issues they otherwise could not have easily articulated. There are no more forgotten appointments or having to choose who to help first—TroubleTrakkerPRO makes it a first-come, first-served help desk that’s fair to everyone who uses it. I recommend TroubleTrakkerPRO for its ease of use, valuable features, reliability, and reasonable cost." |

"SecureSchool is excellent!!!...And (if this is even possible) the support has been better than excellent. I have used both e-mail and phone support, depending on the need. Response times have been FAST!...
Because SecureSchool has several different types of filtering, we really haven't had any problems. They maintain a banned sites list as well as other types of filtering based on weighted phrases and pics ratings. We can add our own blocked sites and we can add sites to our allowed sites list...
...I would highly recommend their services...I also like the fact that I can manage the system from anywhere, school or home."

"From its initial installation to the present, the system [SpamTrakker] has all but totally eliminated bothersome Spam and unwanted email from our network..."
"The Burlington County Special Services School District is very pleased with "SpamTrakker”. From its initial installation to the present, the system has all but totally eliminated bothersome Spam and unwanted email from our network. The dollars saved by minimizing time wasted sorting through numerous emails are immeasurable. I was initially hesitant to give up my existing method of managing mail filtering and spam, but after several months of using SpamTrakker I can truthfully say it is doing an outstanding job.
The ease of use, has allowed the entire tech staff the time we need to do the other tasks. The filtering has eliminated many potential problems for our network users and thus the tech staff. Network users usually don’t know that it has been freeing them of thousands of unwanted and unnecessary advertisements, but the system assures that teacher and staff time is used for district work, not wasted on dealing with unwanted and unsavory advertising email. Anyone managing a large group of email users will find SpamTrakker to be a 24-hour-a-day work horse for their network." |

"SecureSchool is a SUPER device ! We receive the device on a Friday and had it up and running in two hours. The "tech staff" listen to my concerns and gave me ideas that would help my school network improve and protect my students, staff, and network computers. The device comes with all the correct wires and all the information to "setup" are on line in the device.

"Just a note of appreciation for your email service! "
"When my husband served in Viet Nam on active duty, I heard from him only by "snail" mail after several week lags. Now that he has been activated and serves in Iraq, I get occasional emails and promises of more as services there improve. I email him daily with news of home and family. How comforting to be able to log in from work, home or on the road to get a recent message assuring me of his safety or to let him know that all's well on the home front!
Thanks,

""I don't know how we survived without it [TroubleTrakker]"
"
"...The tech staff is very pleased with TroubleTrakker software from K12USA. The dollars saved by minimizing time on task are immeasurable. I was initially hesitant to give up my Outlook Task Manager method of managing our problems in lieu of an internet based system. But after more than three years of using TroubleTrakker I can truthfully say I don't know how we survived without it.
The ease of reporting for teachers, and assigning tasks to techs, has allowed me the time I need to do the other tasks my job requires. The ability to customize the on line trouble choices and suggest simple solutions to teachers, even before they report their problem, has made for rapid response and quickly solved problems for our network users. Internet access eliminates redundant travel between buildings and allows techs a very clear understanding of user problems as well as the ability to immediately report the problem as solved. Network users find it very reassuring that TroubleTrakker keeps them apprised of the status of their problem. Anyone managing a network and technical staff will find TroubleTrakker to be their "Right Hand Man"..........or Woman"

"We have used TroubleTrakker for the past 3 ½ years and it has made my
department much more efficient"
"We have used TroubleTrakker for the past 3 ½ years and it has made my
department much more efficient. We have over 1,200 desktop computers
and two techs to work on them, with TroubleTrakker we are able to manage
service requests in an efficient manner. When I started in, we had over
250 outstanding paper service requests on paper. They were hard to
manage effectively because of the time required to sort through
everything. When we implemented TT, the number started to go down and
now we less than fifteen at any given time, Why? Because we can manage
them better. TT also allowed me to identify problem area, trends,
product faults, etc., we have modified many of the things that we
purchase based on the reports we were able to generate. End users see
the benefit by getting information on their request. I would not know
what to do if we did not have this service." |

"I am your biggest fan for TroubleTrakker. I advertise for you for free at our regional service center to all the other school districts. Your product is awesome. We are using the free version, but i would probably buy it, knowing what i know now. I have been at conferences where big 5 a schools stand up and give presentations on what one of their staff has created for reporting trouble tickets, and wonder why they are wasting their time on creating something there is already out there was so many more features. I'm a loyal fan. Thanks for providing this service for schools! " |

"TroubleTrakker is a great record keeping tool"
"I am the technology coordinator for a K-8 school with over 130 computers and two networks. I began using TroubleTrakker about 3 or 4 years ago and it is a real time-saver for me. I have customized it somewhat so that our teachers can be pretty specific about their problem. That saves them time and it certainly helps me address their tech problems in a timely manner. It also aids in identifying systems that have recurring problems. It is a great record keeping tool.

"We’ve been using TroubleTrakker for over three years and have found it to be perceptively matched to our needs. The interface is easy for our technicians and staff to use. Without this, I’m sure the program would not have been a success. Keeping track of work in the district is easy and we have found that since using the system the time calls are left open has been reduced.

"TroubleTrakker enabled our original two technicians to funnel all requests into an organized database, then prioritize requests"
"TroubleTrakker enabled our original two technicians to funnel all requests into an organized database, then prioritize requests. By generating reports, we were able to demonstrate that the backlog was growing at a faster rate than our ability to address problems. Thus, we had the basis for a very reasonable and well received request for additional technicians.
TroubleTrakker has resulted in more realistic expectations from the users in our district as far as response time and magnitude of response. It is highly configurable and easy to use.

"Our users appreciate the automatic email updates, technicians love its organizational tools, and network managers cherish the reporting features."
"We have been using TroubleTrakker for almost 7 years. It is the only application or service I know of that is universally popular, easy-to-use, problem-free, and of significant value and use to virtually everyone on our network.
It takes us about 5 minutes to turn a new school secretary cold off the street into a 'TroubleTrakker'. There are discernible 'ooohs' and 'aahhs' as they discover how simple it is to use such a powerful system. Everyone involved in the process - from end-user to IT Director - gets hooked from the start. Our users appreciate the automatic email updates, technicians love its organizational tools, and network managers cherish the reporting features.
As an essential service, TroubleTrakker is right up there with power, water, and air-conditioning. Our IT department would be lost without it.

"Nocona ISD has used TroubleTrakker for four years with great success"
"Nocona ISD has used TroubleTrakker for four years with great success. The NISD Tech Office coordinates the District’s Technical Support operation with this K12usa.com product. At the beginning of each school year, new Teachers are trained in how to use the product. Most of them are ready to start using this web based tool in just a few minutes. TroubleTrakker documents all work done by technicians by sending emails to clients at every step of problem resolution. I like TroubleTrakker because it documents problems and then stores the data for future reference. Also, TroubleTrakker provides documentation to District Administrators that Technicians are actually going out and solving problems in a prompt manner. I would recommend this product as an excellent way to sort through a myriad of Tech Support problems.

"TroubleTrakker has been a great asset for me."

"I wanted to express my heartfelt appreciation for your products! With so many things that require daily attention it is a relief to have critical components of my enterprise like our firewall and email be reliable and easy to manage. The interfaces are easy to understand and very simple to use, and best of all, the products just plain work! Your IsBossBox makes balancing the competing needs of security and connectivity a breeze and Spamtrakker immediately eliminated the time consuming chore of sifting through unwanted spam for me, my staff, and most importantly my boss.
We have had special configuration needs, and your staff has turned each of my requests into reality quickly and with the utmost professionalism. I really like having the staff available through AOL Instant Messenger to answer my questions and concerns instantly! I highly recommend ISBoss’s products and services as exceeding my expectations." |

"I am extremely pleased with TroubleTrakker and welcome the opportunity to let you know!
We use the program to record and assign every request received for technology assistance. We have over 900 users in 18 locations with 3 technicians and TroubleTrakker has provided every user with a direct line to the technician. By using TroubleTrakker, every user knows the current status of their request. The automated email messages keeps them informed from the time the request is received until the problem has been solved.
Everyone in the district is familiar with TroubleTrakker and we have never had a complaint about the system. It has helped us so much in the technology department that the district decided to purchase WorkTrakkerPRO for the maintenance department.
Thank you for providing such a wonderful service to our school district!" |

"I just wanted to pass along some kudo's for a great product and great customer service and tech support. "
"First of all, I formerly worked in a school environment and SecureSchool was the best solution we found to fill our need of internet filtering. It was easy to set up and configure. After it was installed, it was running peacefully in the background, making my job much easier, and our students could access the internet in a much more secure environment.
When I moved to my current position, an internet filter was also required for an on-site school, hospital patient use and staff. SecureSchool / ISBoss was my first thought, and it has again been the perfect solution for our LAN environment.
Your sales and customer service people have always been friendly and very helpful. And your tech support has been stellar! It's a very rare occasion when and if the SecureSchool / ISBoss box has any issues, but when that rare occasion has happened, your tech support has resolved the issue in no time flat. I'm really impressed, and needed to let you know what a wonderful job your people and your product are doing!
Thank you for making my life (and job) a lot easier!" |

"SecureSchool and K12USA are definitely top notch"
"I don't know where to start. K12USA has been a pleasure to deal with since the first time I called for information about SecureSchool. Your support staff spent a great deal of time on the phone with me explaining the product and how it worked before I even made a decision to purchase it. We purchased it for our school district, and believe me when I say it has made my job much easier. Please don't tell my boss about that one. Anytime I have had concerns, your staff has taken the time to help no matter what. The fact that K12USA recently contacted me to tell me that our current box was not handling our traffic load and then sent me an upgraded unit free of charge just blew me away. I would definitely recommend K12USA to anyone who asks. Well, I have said more than enough already, so I will close by saying, "SecureSchool and K12USA are definitely top notch" |

"We had a major server/workstation theft from our District last week and we lost nearly every document and file in our system. The "thieves" broke into a room with a steel door, steel door frame, in a brick and concrete building to get the equipment. Any building can be broken into,regardless of physical security [but] at least they didn't get our [WebMailPRO] e-mail! (I gotta look on bright side of something).
Now the District really wants to use AssetTrakker, since we lost our spreadsheets with all of our model and serial number information for the devices that were stolen. We are having to get printouts from all of our vendors and compare them to what is left to see what is missing." |

"...on a scale of 1 to 10 of satisfaction, we would rate our experience with TTP as an 11+
"
"You know, we’ve been using your software for the better part of 2 years to track our tech problems. In that time, we have rarely, if ever, had to give a second thought to whether or not the software was working, running, etc. In other words, we just take it as a given that when someone logs into TTP, it just works.
This is incredibly important for our end users and the IT staff. If a user has to enter a ticket, they are already frustrated with a technical issue. If you software didn’t work as well as it did, their frustration would only be compounded by the system that is intended to report their problem.
I guess you could say that, on a scale of 1 to 10 of satisfaction, we would rate our experience with TTP as an 11+

"Parents were concerned that the laptops would be misused or allow on-line predators to communicate with their children. After one year with this solution [SecureSchool] we did not have a single incident."
"I have managed firewall and content filter services in my District for the past 11 years. Last year we implemented a one-to-one laptop program in grade 8 and needed a way to filter the laptops when they leave campus to go home with the students. SecureSchool's solution solved this problem for us and worked perfectly. It filtered the homebound user and provided the accountability we needed to safely deploy laptops. We not only solved our problem but we also had very fine grained reporting on a user by user basis. Parents were concerned that the laptops would be misused or allow on-line predators to communicate with their children. After one year with this solution we did not have a single incident. The combination of port and service based firewall protection along with the proxy based content filter is a homerun for k-12 education." |

I have had to call you a couple times this year about some pretty urgent matters to us and your folks got with us immediately and were very knowledgeable.

"They are easy to use and provide better protection for the children than any filter I have used"
"I have been using the SecureSchool internet filter/firewall for about 10 years in three K-12 schools. The filter/firewall are excellent. They are easy to use and provide better protection for the children than any filter I have used. The filter is also an excellent tool for monitoring and managing internet bandwidth utilization. As a manager in a medical setting and as administrator of school technology I utilized support for a lot of equipment over the past 40 years. I can honestly say I have never received better support than I have from SecureSchool. In about 10 years I have only been put on hold one or two times and my problems have always been quickly and satisfactorily resolved. I highly recommend this filter/firewall and the Secure School support staff to anyone for use in a k-12 school environment. " |

"I have the sense that it's a very capable device backed by superior support service at a fair price."
"My first impression was to be overwhelmed by the complexity of filtering the Internet with the SecureSchool Appliance. I was using a Vicomsoft Intergate solution running on a G3 iMac for 4 years prior to using SecureSchool. I moved to SecureSchool because the cost of the Vicomsoft solution went from $50 a year to $1800 a year, but the product was no different as far as I could tell. I was feeling ripped off. It was easy to use, but I was to find that was because it wasn't doing much.
After pulling the trigger and moving to Secure School the sense of being overwhelmed was eased by the great customer service you guys provide. I had no idea how complex filtering could be, but at the same time with help, I found that a reasonable compromise can be attained as you mold the filter to your organization's needs. At first, staff members were pissed off that they couldn't get where they needed to go, but using the web forms, I was able to free up what I needed to so they could get their jobs done. The reporting features are great as I find my data hogs and train them to be more considerate "netizines". Now they wait till after school to download that TV show or video they need for class tomorrow.
It's nice that I have a sense that my school is relatively secure from outside threats. I have the sense that it's a very capable device backed by superior support service at a fair price.

"SecureSchool works. It is that simple. It is easy to manage and flexible to provide the correct filtering level to all ages in a school district. As, I said, SS just works, and works well.
But....there is more. Service! Outstanding, superb, extraordinary, wonderful, terrific, splendid, marvelous, fabulous, fantastic, and marvelous. I cannot list the superlatives I could use in the service we receive from the staff at K12usa. The Engineers/Techs know the product, the workings of the internet, and how to make it all work. Calling Tech Support is a dream. When I cannot figure it out, they can. They always treat me as a good customer and never talk down to me. This kind of service make all the superlatives very true. Service sells this product alone!
And then there is more. The cost of SecureSchool is affordable. The business model they have developed fits very well into the budget constraints of school districts.
K12usa knows the needs of schools from Kindergarten to the 12th Grade.

Sometimes there have been instances where they trouble shoot out of their realm to fix a problem. i.e. server setup issues, switching issues, etc. Without using SecureSchool as a filter I feel our network would not have the uptime that it does." |

"What I like most is that you guys know the appliance like the back of your hands"
"From day one service at K12usa has been outstanding. You guys answer the phones every time and there is never a wait. What I like most is that you guys know the appliance like the back of your hands. There has never been an issue that you guys didn't know the answer. I can't think of a single way how service could be better. Keep up the great work. " |

"Customer Support is a major factor which separates your company from the competition, plus your pricing is very competitive."
"We have been using SecureSchool Internet Filtering Appliance for I believe coming up on 4 years. The software interface is constantly being enhanced and improved. It is very easy to navigate and generally very easy to make the necessary adjustments to our settings for Internet access. If we are experiencing an issue in which we can’t come up with an answer, all we have to do is pick up the phone and call the toll-free number. I can’t recall a time we I had to wait for assistance or did not resolve the problem on the first call.
We are very pleased with the hardware, the support and the friendly staff. Customer Support is a major factor which separates your company from the competition, plus your pricing is very competitive. We have added SpamTrakker and MessageGuard and are very pleased with these products as well.

"We finally have a stable wireless network"
"I am amazed at how simple the setup of WirelessTrakker has been. We were pleasantly surprised that we did not need more than 16 access points to serve our single building K-8 district, but the coverage has been outstanding. The integration with Active Directory through our Secureschool box makes management a breeze. The tech support is exceptional and easily accessible as it is located in the US. We finally have a stable wireless network that is safe, reliable, and robust. " |

"Their most recent product – WirelessTrakker – has completely blown me away"
"I have been using and recommending K12usa.com services for over 10 years now and not once – ever – have I been displeased with their products or customer support. Quite the opposite, I have never found ANY company that can even begin to compare.
Their most recent product – WirelessTrakker – has completely blown me away. As a nearly 30 year veteran of the IT workplace, I know how hard it is to set up a robust, enterprise class, Wireless Local Area Network. With all of the technical pit-falls, setting up a multi-access point wireless LAN segment is difficult. From the moment that I unpacked the controller and access points, I just knew that this setup was going to be one of the easiest that I had ever done.
Once I had the controller installed in my LAN, a simple phone call was all that was needed to have everything activated. The technical team even helped configure my pre-existing switches to work seamlessly with the new system. The access points were a snap to set up and in next-to-no-time, I had my entire b/g/n multi-access point wireless LAN up and running – across our entire campus. It doesn’t matter what our students or faculty are running – PC, Mac, iPad, ‘Droid, iPhone, etc. – it just all works flawlessly.
The beautiful thing about WirelessTrakker is not just how robust it is; not just how easy it was to set up; not just the unparalleled customer support that I received; it was that I was able to purchase this amazing system for hundreds of dollars less than any other solution that I looked at!
I whole-heartedly endorse the products and staff at K12usa.com! You folks make my job so much easier.

"We had serious problems with our previous content filtering software when running some of our web based student software. Those problems have been completely eliminated with the SecureSchool solution."
"The support staff is great! They are always very willing and able to help. It is refreshing not to be placed on hold forever when calling for a company for support.
As a new customer, K12USA worked with us to come up with purchasing contracts that made the transition to SecureSchool very agreeable to our schools in Arizona.
We are extremely please with the content filtering this software is providing for our students. We had serious problems with our previous content filtering software when running some of our web based student software. Those problems have been completely eliminated with the SecureSchool solution.

"SecureSchool has been a life saver for the Beverly City School district..."
"SecureSchool has been a life saver for the Beverly City School District especially in the technology phase of academic instruction. As the computer teacher I have worked with other filters, many of which were not as efficient as SecureSchool. So far, SecureSchool is helping to keep our students on task rather than being distracted by accidentally opening inappropriate sites." |

I've recommended you to other schools!" |

"I can now say that all of our users would not want to go back to the old way."
"We have been extremely pleased with both TroubleTrakker and WorkTrakker. Before using these Web based applications, we were using paper forms for all of our work orders and request. These forms were getting lost, being delayed because of the routing process, lacking follow up, not providing real information on how many or how long a work order took and identifying what types of work orders where being generated.
ALL of these issues have been resolved since implementing both TroubleTrakker and WorkTrakker. I like the having the application Web based because it gives access to all of our teachers and administrators. I have put a direct link to your site on our school corporation's home page to make it easier for all of our staff to access.
When we first implemented the process and told everyone that all work orders had to be done via TroubleTrakker or WorkTrakker, we heard from staff that they did not want to change. Now that we have been using the applications for over a year, I can now say that all of our users would not want to go back to the "old way". They like the ability to monitor the progress and get feed back when the work order is completed. My technicians like the applications because it helps them set daily priorities.
As a manager, I now am able to get a better handle on the requested work orders. I can also generate reports and provide specific data that helping us as we implement the Baldrige quality program at Tri-Creek School Corporation.
I like the new enhancements that you are implementing with Pro for both TroubleTrakker and WorkTrakker.
Keep up the good work.

"We have been happy so far with the SecureSchool system. Your technical support has been great"
"We have been happy so far with the SecureSchool system. Your technical support has been great. Whenever we had problems technical support was able to determine what the problems consisted off and repaired them in a timely manner. The program has showed a lot of the things our students are really trying to access. I feel the program has been a success since we have had it." |

"You guys are literally the best tech support ever"
"I've called in several times in the last few months and I've always been astounded that I speak immediately with an engineer that knows exactly what to do to resolve my issue and then takes the time to suggest other changes and makes sure that my overall setup looks good. Absolutely the best tech support ever." |
