Reliable content filtering but need more traffic control
To deploy it as a proxy, we use this solution for content filtering, URL filtering, and solution filtering on the user end. When the user is connecting to the internet and should not access some social media website or malware sites, we can block it through SonicWall CFS. CFS is our content…

Provides basic email protection features but needs improvement in learning capabilities
TitanHQ does a middle-of-the-road job like Bitdefender and SensorNet, and it has a learning feature, though it's not as advanced as previous technology. In the past, I used a far superior product with no false alarms and minimum spam. This tool learned quickly from my inbox, offering simple yet useful features, such as two links embedded in the email footer indicating whether the email was spam or not.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"When the user is connecting to the internet and should not access some social media website or malware sites, we can block it through SonicWall CFS."
"It is very stable."
"It doesn't require installing an agent or software on individual workstations, which is very important for us, because the product improves on its own without having to go to workstations, which is an ideal thing since it doesn't tie up staff's time to upgrade the machines and I don't need to upgrade the software to make WebTitan work."
"One of the most valuable features is the setup, right out-of-the-box. We rarely touch anything to do with WebTitan. That low administration is one of the huge features."
"We can actually see that WebTitan has saved us a good number of times, occasions when we would have had some type of malware payload delivered, but we have seen that it was blocked."
"The web content filter is the most valuable feature."
"It's extremely stable. I would say it's flawless. We did have some concerns that, if it did fail, all internet access would stop for our people because the proxy wouldn't be there. That concern has subsided over the years because it's proven that it doesn't really fail."
"It doesn't require installing an agent or software on individual workstations, which is very important for us. I don't have to go around every single machine and/or push updates out because of this product. The product improves on its own without having to go to workstations, which is an ideal thing because it doesn't tie up staff's time to upgrade the machines. I don't need to upgrade the software to make WebTitan work. I wish all products were that way."
"I would rate TitanHQ WebTitan as seven out of ten."
"WebTitan enables us to effortlessly filter out the content that we do not want, including specific websites or domains."
 

Cons

"Malware, scanning, capture, and integration should be included with the content filtering."
"It has to be able to control more than just web traffic. Malware, scanning, capture, and integration should be included with the content filtering."
"I've been trying to install an OTG on Windows 7 machines, and I simply can't get it to work."
"One issue that they have just solved is that there's a new interface for paying bills."
"I would like to have a live chat feature with their support. This is one of the things that I like that they haven't offered yet. If they have live support, then at least I can work with an engineer when I have a problem and not have to wait for the engineer to respond."
"We have spoken with TitanHQ in the last month about improvements in functionality because we have used other similar platforms and have a different view of things. We have some concerns about the search and the filters. We need to quickly search which users can or cannot access a particular site and why."
"Sometimes it has been a little cumbersome to get the whitelisting just right. But that would be the only thing I've had any problems with."
"WebTitan could improve the software module and the platform's overall stability, and its competitors have a more sophisticated user interface. We have found some bugs as well as some issues with functionality and security that we've already forwarded to TitanHQ."
"There have been a couple times where there were false positives."
"They probably could improve on the initial deployment and the issues that we ran into with the WebTitan Cloud OTG client installation on our mobile devices or laptops."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing is on a yearly basis and the pricing is very reasonable."
"We pay an annual subscription for this. They have good pricing. They are not expensive compared to other solutions that we evaluated. I like the fact that it is just one price for the year. I don't have to worry too much about fluctuations."
"The pricing of WebTitan is good. It's the right price. We paid more and more for Cisco Umbrella."
"The pricing is good. It's a substantial cost, but they've held their prices over the years, which has been good."
"The cost could be lower, though it is not currently prohibitive for larger companies."
"The licensing, although I can't remember the exact cost, was very affordable. I want to say it was maybe $40 per license."
"There are lots of products out there, and most of them are a lot more expensive. Overall, I'm very happy with SpamTitan. It has been a great solution for a very small library."
"For licensing, if I remember right, we told them how many users we have, and they told us the price, which we okayed. There were no add-ons. There might be a slight increase like everybody else, but there weren't any add-ons."
"It's very aggressively priced, which is something that we definitely like."
