From ~$9/yr; district pricing on request
Features7/10
7 - solid real-time monitoring, blocking, and activity history; Chromebook support is browser-only which limits full desktop visibility.
Value6/10
6 - low entry price but opaque volume/district pricing makes TCO hard to evaluate without a sales call.
Ease of use7/10
7 - teacher UI is straightforward; IT deployment of device agents adds initial friction.
Ecosystem7/10
7 - strong integration with Securly safety suite; narrower third-party integrations outside the Securly ecosystem.
Support7/10
7 - Securly support portal and documentation available; enterprise SLAs on paid district contracts.

What it really is

Dyknow (now Securly Classroom) — K-12 classroom device monitoring and management software for teachers.

Our take

Dyknow is a classroom management platform that lets teachers monitor student Chromebooks, Windows PCs, and Macs in real time — viewing live screens, blocking websites or apps, locking devices, and reviewing post-class activity history. Acquired by Securly in 2022, it now operates as Securly Classroom. The DB misidentifies it as a color-palette tool for designers and places it in Security/Backup — it is squarely EdTech classroom management. Pricing is custom/contact-based for school and district licenses, with a reported entry point of $9/year; there is no permanent free tier.

Why we rate it

Dyknow/Securly Classroom is one of the few classroom management tools that works across Chromebook, Windows, and Mac with teacher-friendly controls. Its 2022 integration into the Securly safety ecosystem adds depth for IT teams who need both monitoring and web-filtering under one roof.

The catch

Pricing is opaque — actual per-device/per-student costs require contacting sales, making budget planning difficult. Chromebook monitoring is browser-only (no full desktop view). The Securly acquisition has shifted focus toward district-wide IT bundles rather than individual teacher licensing.

Best for
K-12 schools running 1:1 Chromebook, Windows, or Mac programmes
Teachers who want live screen visibility and one-click website blocking during lessons
IT administrators already using Securly for content filtering who want a unified platform
Not good for
Higher education or corporate device management scenarios
Schools needing a permanent free tier with no budget for edtech licensing
Environments where full Chromebook desktop monitoring (beyond browser) is required
Friction report
Time to value
Moderate — teacher setup is straightforward once IT deploys the agent, but district procurement and device rollout add lead time.
Scale breakpoint
Custom quote required above entry level; per-device costs and district-wide contracts can become complex for large deployments.
Walled garden
Moderate — activity data and blocking policies live within the Dyknow/Securly platform; limited data export options for analytics outside the system.
