Increased Category Granularity

Kasey

Some of the filtering categories are a ambiguous. It would be nice to have more granularly detailed allow/block potential. For a brief example, Drugs seems to currently include illegal and legal drugs.

Hi, I've had more requests for adult content to be made more granular e.g. Adult Toys, Sexual Education, Lingerie/Bikini, Nudity, Pornography, Sexuality.

Randy

Are there any plans to increase category granularity? Reason for asking is that we've made the short-list for a significant opportunity but have gotten feedback that our category granularity is weak vs alternative solutions. Am concerned we are at risk of loosing for this reason. Look forward to getting an update on this request.

Adult Content needs split into multiple categories

Adult Content blocks sites like Men's Health that are non-offensive, we need a way to block types of adult content separately. OpeDNS/Umbrella has several categories:
Lingerie/Bikini
Nudity
Pornography
Sexuality

Kasey: our team is discussing this topic this week. If any other examples come to mind, feel free to post those to this thread as well!

Josh Lamb: We're deploying a new customer now - one of the thoughts is our RMM Tools are displaying a TON of hits - it would be nice to categorize this separately from the Information Technology group.

Totally agree. Too many false positives, especially shopping sites
