Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Zscaler, TitanHQ and others in Internet Security."It doesn't seem to take too much system bandwidth, and I also like its reporting. Once a month, it gives me a reminder of the activity. It reminds me that the protection is on, and if there are any issues, it summarizes those minor issues. During the month, it only notifies when there is something special."
"It has dependable anti-malware and intrusion prevention features all-in-one package."
"It's a solution that permits making a granular configuration and it is easier to deploy the same configuration on a lot of devices using the central console. It is the master of the product."
"McAfee Web Protection was a good tool because in the olden days when you had to use a proxy tool when browsing the internet. Today the logic has changed slightly, in the sense your protection's taken onto the cloud. You'll exit a predefined gateway on the cloud before your internet browsing happens and therefore you're secured."
"The solution does what it's meant to do."
"The product is quite an effective firewall."
"The most valuable feature is the ease in the configuration for security roles."
"The most valuable is the blocking of blacklisted sites, a URL that is, either by intelligence or by McAfee, detected as a malicious site."
"It's secure and useful from an administrative point of view, with controllable login monitoring and so on."
"The security of Trend Micro Web Security is good."
"It's a stable solution."
"We find the advanced license for the DLP to be particularly useful with this product."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Web Security stems from the fact that it is neither a cheap nor an expensive tool."
"It's a very stable solution."
"The most valuable feature is machine learning, which automatically monitors the activity on the machine."
"In McAfee Web Protection there are gaps in the security design, in the overall architecture, the gaps need to be fixed."
"There is a real need to make sure all the updates and improvements are in order to keep the security at top performance to continue defeating threats that come daily."
"Endpoints are lightweight agents, eating too much of the host resources."
"I'm not sure if the solution itself is cloud-based or not. If it isn't they really need to begin to develop that out a bit."
"The initial setup could be simplified, there is a learning curve during the implementation."
"McAfee Web Protection can improve the information provided for hybrid installations in the console. Additionally, having cloud protection would be good."
"The True Key version for mobile phones should be improved. The password manager is not as seamless as on the desktop. Once implemented, on the desktop, when you go to the site, it automatically fills and connects you, whereas, on the mobile phone, it doesn't do that quite seamlessly. You need to open the True Key application and then select the password you want to use. It then opens in the browser. There are fewer steps in the desktop version as compared to the mobile version."
"The solution could always use more security features. If it was more secure, it would be an even stronger product."
"This solution has a lot of restrictions on what non-administrator users can do, including generating comparative code. We would like to see this changed as the product is developed."
"The product's scalability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"What could help Trend Micro Web Security in terms of improvement is the addition of a DDoS protection feature. It also needs to be more comprehensive to meet the needs of large-sized companies."
"The product should be more secure and stable. It is also not flexible."
"The installation is a little bit complex."
"Setup isn't very straightforward. You must have a certified technical engineer."
"The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I would like to see better scalability and better performance."
