What differentiates Edge Secure Web Gateway from other similar products?

ProxySG not only offers total security but also gives the user instruction and feedback to create a positive and secure online experience. When used in conjunction with our other security options, it also provides us with centralized policy administration and reporting which are incredible. Using this we can easily determine the level of Internet access.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The ProxySG reporter always provides us with in-depth details about a user's internet usage and its continuous monitoring system is also my favorite because it allows me to keep a constant eye on user behavior. Internet access policy based on the user. Another mind-blowing aspect is that Device management is incredibly simple to set up and use for day-to-day tasks.

What do you dislike most about this product?

On ProxySG Platform content analysis may need to be tweaked in a variety of situations, especially when large files are being downloaded, which is one of its flaws in my opinion because it took time to tweak them that could have been spent on something more important.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

ProxySG platform lies between people and their Internet activities, detecting dangerous payloads and controlling sensitive information. This Secure Web Gateway brings together a diverse collection of capabilities to authenticate users, detect cloud application usage, filter web traffic, prevent data loss, ensure visibility into encrypted communication, and deliver threat protection.

What differentiates Edge Secure Web Gateway from other similar products?

In my opinion, ProxySG is popular for its strong scalability, simplicity, and caching capabilities. As a security professional, I am a big fan of the ProxySG Platform because everything I need to have strong security for our environment is offered by this secure web gateway system at a reasonable pricing model.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I'm looking for a system that provides complete security and is ready to use, so I don't have to rely on other security platforms to keep us safe. During this evaluation, I tried ProxySG, and I was blown away by its features: stack proxy server, antimalware gateway, caching, content analysis, and hybrid deployment for roaming users are all available in this system.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Although the overall product experience is excellent in terms of design, deployment, settings, usability, simplicity, and scalability, we continue to have troubles with support, even for minor issues because they don't solve them quickly, and RMA services are horrible.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

The ProxySG platform is the smartest and most highly functional that will offer all of your demands regarding security and you may fulfill unique business requirements by combining VPM with CPL. The ProxySG solution also gives benefits of the total web protection. Because of its greater scalability, this platform surpasses the competition.
