"I like the web filtering capabilities."
"SASE's most valuable features are proxy and content filtering."

If you want to create a rule for more than five or four users, you have to go through other methods, not particularly with the application. Working within the application with this method would be quite easy as compared to listing a URL or a normal IP address."
