Find out in this report how the two Internet Security solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's not heavy on the system."
"Our favorite feature is the PC Patch Management."
"The ease of deployment and the command center that they have are the most valuable. It is basically self-monitoring. It doesn't require that much tinkering after you deploy or install."
"It has increased productivity. IT threats are kept at a minimum because of this product."
"Avast Business Endpoint Protection's best feature is its user-friendliness."
"The solution is easy to use."
"It warns you if there is a threat and it's perfect because it runs in the background and doesn't interfere with anything."
"The performance is good compared to other products that slow down the laptop, post-installation."
"Email Sandbox, DLP and Proxy."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to allow or block sites by category."
"Reporting and automatic updates of website categorization."
"It has protected clients against cyberattacks."
"The critical role is web URL filtering."
"Forcepoint Secure Web Gateway has improved our organization through its ease of use."
"I have found the web content filtering and malware filter the most valuable."
"Secure Web Gateway's most valuable features are firewall blocking and anti-malware scanning."
"The solution could improve by providing more security."
"I would like to see better protection and more spyware included with the free version."
"It could have a 10,000-feet overview of the whole infrastructure because the software is easily installable on the whole infrastructure and not just the infrastructure, but also the workstation themselves. I would love to have a 360 view of the whole network and basically see from where a test is coming, and if there is an instance in the cloud that is actually misbehaving or if there is a workstation that is infected and stuff like that. It can also have some kind of AI to detect all those things and then cut off the connection from that machine. In Cortex, you can link the logs, reports, and all that stuff. You can also see the full picture of when it happened, and you can trace it back all the way to a file or something else. I would like to see similar functionality in Avast Business Endpoint Protection."
"The accuracy of the scanner could be improved."
"Making the price a bit cheaper would be an improvement."
"Avast Business Endpoint Protection would be improved with more frequent updates."
"It reduces network and bandwidth speed."
"It could download faster during deployment."
"I'd like to see the solution improve the banded optimization to offer more bandwidth control, similar to what is on offer with Blue Coat."
"Reports in the sand-boxing, ease of deployment of sensors to ready to go server with one click of a button."
"We are using a V10000 G3 appliance. It is just a proxy. It is just HTTP, FTP, and HTTPS. Now, as our website has developed and we are using rich time-connectivity protocols, the proxy doesn't have the ability to work with these protocols. It would be nice if the UDP feature was there for it to filter UDP traffic. It needs firewall capabilities for UDP filtering. Its upgrades can be quite complex, and they don't always go as per the plan. Its reporting could be a bit more granular."
"The performance issues in the product are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The technical support team's response time could be improved."
"Stability needs some improvement, we have on occasion experienced some delay when it is synchronized."
"I would suggest focusing on improving the GUI's stability, especially when implementing new filters or patches."
"It's the support that's the problem because that's a different question from the product itself — it's the Achilles heel."
