“ManagedMethods is going to be your best friend. They have an awesome team that stands behind their product. I know a lot of vendors say that, but it's the truth. From sales to support to the follow-up afterward, they’re committed to helping their customers.”

“Working with vendors can be frustrating for those of us in K-12. The cost conversation is challenging because they’ll often treat schools with limited budgets and resources the same as all their other customers. ManagedMethods is different. Their Cloud Monitor platform works, the price is right, and it’s focused on K-12 and our unique needs. Their customer service is exceptional. Every interaction I have had with every member of the team at ManagedMethods has been positive.”

Content Filter is designed with a scalability-first principle and does not negatively affect student device performance. The platform uses browser-level URL blocking and artificial intelligence to provide internet student safety, security, and CIPA compliance for K-12 schools.
With Content Filter's browser-level AI, no content ever leaves the user's browser. All AI safety signals and data loss prevention evaluation happens within the browser. This innovation in AI deployment means that using Content Filter will not slow down your end users' browsing experience.
Content Filter integrates seamlessly with your Google Admin console. Installation takes about 2 minutes, and makes implementation across your entire domain relatively easy, plus you get automatic enrollment and updates.
Content Filter Signals use innovative technology that compresses the AI model on the browser level. This innovation in AI deployment means that no content ever leaves the user's browser, and that using Content Filter will not slow down your end users' browsing experience.
Content Filter uses ManagedMethods' industry-leading student safety AI, Signals, to detect risks such as self-harm, suicide, sexually explicit content, cyberbullying, and toxicity directly in the Chrome browser.
Using Content Filter, easily apply policies across the domain, by OU, and by Groups, making it easy to apply a policy to the whole domain without needing to copy updates over to each OU or Group individually.
Out-of-box support for over 30 website categories, representing over 300K websites, allowing admins to easily create block and allow policies for students on school-issued Chromebooks and in Chrome browser.
Additionally, set more granular policies for URLs, including regex.
Content Filter can be configured to block social media sites, including Reddit and YouTube.
YouTube blocking can be managed more granularly based on keywords associated with a video, and by specific channels and videos. You can also analyze keywords associated with a video using the video link, which helps you build a better filter.
Lost or stolen device? Content Filter makes it easy to see a devices last known location (including IP address and named location), what user accounts have logged into the device (and when), and what version of Chrome is running on it. You can also flag the device as lost or stolen to block anyone who may be using it from using Chrome.
Content Filter is easy to install and manage, with customizable settings to fit your district's specific needs. Plus, it runs seamlessly in the background, so students can focus on their studies without interruption.
