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

"It is very stable."
"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."
"WebTitan has helped reduce costs associated with Web filtering by more than 50%."
"WebTitan enables us to effortlessly filter out the content that we do not want, including specific websites or domains."
"The solution offers very good self-authentication. It has a lot of protocols and ways to authenticate users by ID, or by Active Directory Integration. It's able to take credentials from the Active Directory Domain Controllers."
"Not a whole lot of oversight is required after WebTitan is installed. I get email notifications and occasionally browse the reporting. This is pretty important because I don't have the bandwidth to actively monitor all this stuff 24/7. It is just not possible. Therefore, it is important that it doesn't require a lot of my time once it is deployed and working."
"The solution is very easy to implement and to set up, especially from an administration point of view."
"Their report tool is the most valuable. By using the URL-base filtering, their reports give me a clear view of who is accessing what as well as which computer may have a virus or malware."
"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."
"I would rate TitanHQ WebTitan as seven out of ten."
 

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."
"On occasion, we whitelist a site and it still gets blocked. To get it working, we have to remove it and then re-add it a couple of times, until it finally takes hold."
"There are some small bugs in the real-time login environment. There is a real-time login and you can see which URLs are blocked or allowed for every user. They should make sure this is resolved in future releases."
"One issue that they have just solved is that there's a new interface for paying bills."
"One issue that they have just solved is that there's a new interface for paying bills. I had an issue when I tried to pay with our debit card last year, but with the new payment interface, they have solved that."
"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."
"The documentation could always be better. That's true for any organization."
"The Oauth1 protocol has a lot of issues with authentication and it made it very difficult to initially authenticate with the API."
"We have had a couple of instances where tickets have been closed without getting a true resolution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing is on a yearly basis and the pricing is very reasonable."
"The pricing of WebTitan is good. It's the right price. We paid more and more for Cisco Umbrella."
"The cost could be lower, though it is not currently prohibitive for larger companies."
"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."
"The pricing is good. It's a substantial cost, but they've held their prices over the years, which has been good."
"It's very aggressively priced, which is something that we definitely like."
"The licensing, although I can't remember the exact cost, was very affordable. I want to say it was maybe $40 per license."
"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 reasonably priced. We don't have to go for a monthly plan or anything like that. There are no extra costs in addition to the standard licensing fee."
