GlassWire Reviews

I love this software. I am very found of good software, useful software, which now a days are very scarce. I can not thank developers enough for making a software which shows what application uses the internet and uploads/downloads to what address. This kind of detailed information hub reviles the vulnerability which I didn't know was there before. It also enabled me with the power to block the traffic. Simply "It Is AWESOME"

I don't know of any cons yet, I have used just the trial. But it will be very bad if they record our browsing history and logins. Which they say they don't but real truth will come forward in time.

1. Security : It protects your computer from all malicious attacks & it gives you the ability to approve or deny a network connection running on your computer.

2. Convenience : we can check the network without even opening the whole application. It notifies all the changes made to the network.

3. GUI : The Graphical User Interface Is Awesome. The Graphical Speed Chart of Internet Speed gives all Current and past network speed.

4. Built-In Firewall : Already Said the Glasswire firewall Helps us to protect from malicious attacks and gives the ability to approve or deny network connections.

There are no cons in the application according to me. My Only Suggestion to glasswire team is that the premium prices of basic & pro should be decreased 5-10$.

I love the way I can block individual programs from accessing the net.

I would love to see a Ubuntu and Mint (which is Ubuntu based) build for Linux. This is really a "missing" issue with Glasswire; no Linux support. I am happy to update this review if Linux support is added.

The ability to control all the applications installed in my pc and the data volume they use especially with metered connections. Also, it offers you a real-time protection on top of the security s/w you use without slowing down the connection or the computer.

Sometimes it needs to be reset - does not start automatically with Win10

This does a great job of blocking traffic and presenting all the traffic on a nice clean UI . Everything is easy to access and learn how to use.

Not really a huge fan of the tiered software options but I understand it. I would rather just pay for a pro version and get all the features but it is most accessible to others at the different price points.

This product is great for seeing who (program) is using network and when

I have not had difficulty with it, works as specified.

I like how the full functionality is within the tabs on the top of the screen, very easy and useful interface

One thing I wish had more functionality is the firewall. It’s an application firewall that’s to be in conjunction with your OS firewall, It would be cool if it had more integration with it and included ports that could be blocked or filtered out.

Ability to block software from connecting to the internet is very nice. The notifications you get each time a software has a new version number and is trying to connect to the internet is wonderful. Also the well designed interface is a joy to use.

No cons, I'm just really pleased with the software.

- Easy to use
- Full control
- very good display

I don´t have anything against its use. Maybe if I intensify its use.

This product is easy to use and provides great visual cues for what traffic is going to and from your computer. If you need to know what is happening, this tool is great for that.

The product seems to create high CPU utilization at times. I hope this is improved in future releases.

GlassWire looks fantastic, it's easily the best looking firewall software that I've used. It's very easy to use and understand, and the features it provides are incredibly useful. Who knew the firewall could be this good?

Really the only thing that I am not a fan of is that the software is subscription based, though I can understand why they price it that way.

I use GlassWire to keep my network under control, it allows me to see any new activity that may be suspect, it keeps track of my usage.

In previous versions I could block any app on the firewall of GlassWire, but lately I noticed that this option is not available anymore and it requires an upgrade. This is a set back for the free version.

1. Ease of use
2. Notifications
3. Less interruption
4. Design

Just a suggestion
Can add a temporary mode : which will give an application network connectivity only when its being used and automatically shuts off all network connectivity when the application is closed by user.
in other words User can select weather the application has internet access while it's in tray or closed.
Eg. I don't want Chrome to be connected to internet after I exit the application.

The free version offers all the basic features needed to monitor my broadband usage. And make sure I am not the one taking all the broadband :)

They keep reminding me there is a paid version :D I really don't have anything negative to say about it.

The UI and easy of use together with the easy to read information provided makes this app one of its kind. Seeing how my internet usage is being distributed really helped me take better decisions .

I don't have anything to complain right now - I got everything I need from it.

I like seeing what apps are communicating with sites and what sites they are talking to.

I can't seem to get it to work on both my phone and laptop. My laptop shows the graph moving but my phone just shows the graph with no movement so I'm not sure if it's working or not..

This is an app that does what it says it will do, for free. And the UI doesn't look like it belongs on Windows 95 like many other free apps in this space do.
Great tool for quick analytics into your network.

On Windows, there is a process that is running in the background even after you close the app. I'm sure there's a good reason, but I always close it.

Well i like the ease of Installation on our Servers

it was slow at first until it adjusted to our Software

I found it easier to monitor traffic and keep track of what programs am running via this software. And the graphs make it quite easy to understand.

Its memory usage on device is pretty huge. Apart from that, its a very good one and I recommended it to a business associate

The ease way to watch companies and were they are.

I can't think any present. I like the graphs....

Really like the real-time info and visual interface. I helped spread the word about this software as part of the influencer team. Many folks I interacted with agreed the software was/is excellent.

I enjoy seeing in real-time where my computer pings out to other sites and servers. I had no idea this data was even accessible before Glasswire.

As someone that has dealt with malware in the past this is part of my one two punch for ensuring no malware / spyware / malicious stuff exist on my computers.

Not much, just maybe explaining better all the features.

Functionality and support

I would like support for Android and individual router monitoring/management. Android is anticipated, router is a completely different level of product. Better documentation is needed.

First of all GlassWire has a very attractive nice interface. GlassWire make us to see and understand the current usage of our network connection. It gives us a notification when ever there is a new network activity because of this we can be in alert about unwanted network accesses. GlassWire help us to track our data usage of the device. We can see which application is use more data and what are the servers it getting data from. It has a good feature called "Things" it scans our network and tell the details about the devices that are connected to it.

Its price is little bit high. If the network scanner can scan for the security issues of the network it will be a great help.

Glasswire delivers an overview of the traffic that is on the network I am using.
This enables me to see first hand if something is up.

It could be cheaper for a PRO version as the features in the free is allright, one would like to have more as it is a very good program, but the price is a bit high.

the graph show us a good informtion for windows or mobile both are great

to have to pay for features I would like to have all the features at least in one computer for free foreverer
