Excellent at redirecting or stopping malicious content, very stable, and scalable
Pros and Cons
  • "The initial setup is straightforward."
  • "The integration is limited. The solution needs to offer better integration with multiple vendors."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use the solution to allow us to pick up on any traffic that is suspicious.

What is most valuable?

If there is malicious traffic that is going through the web application, we can halt that action, instead of waiting for the AntiVirus to take action. It also allows us to block them. This is the most valuable aspect of the solution.

What needs improvement?

The integration is limited. The solution needs to offer better integration with multiple vendors.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for three months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is very stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable. All of our web traffic currently goes through it.

How are customer service and technical support?

Technical support is pretty good.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We didn't previously use a different solution.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward.

What about the implementation team?

We used a local vendor to help us with the initial implementation.

What other advice do I have?

We use the on-premises deployment model of the solution.

I'd recommend the solution. All of its features are readily available.

I'd rate it nine out of ten.
