Blocksi gets you a filter. Senso gives you the whole classroom.
Senso Cloud combines classroom management, student safeguarding and IT device management on one platform, across Windows, ChromeOS, macOS and iOS.
See the comparisonWhere Senso Cloud pulls ahead
Four differences teachers and IT teams notice in the first week.
Classroom setup in one click
Scenes are ready-made classroom environments. A teacher picks the scene for the lesson and Senso sets the rules, so there is no rebuilding block and allow lists every period.
One console for everyone
Choose Class Cloud, Safeguard, and Network and Asset Cloud, or the Enterprise bundle. IT tracks devices and gives remote support from the platform teachers already use.
Built for mixed fleets
Senso supports Windows, ChromeOS, macOS and iOS, so labs and iPads sit alongside Chromebooks without a second tool.
Safeguarding with evidence
When a keyword fires, Senso captures a screenshot so staff see the context. Students get an anonymous report a concern tool, and Senso Blur blurs inappropriate images in Chrome and Edge.
What is Senso?
A short look at how Senso Cloud brings classroom management, safeguarding and IT together.

How do we decide?
Run a short pilot with a few teachers and check three things: do teachers use it every day without help, does keyword capture show enough context to act on, and does the IT team get value from the device tools.
