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."
"It has been easy to understand and use the customization options provided by WebTitan."
"The web content filter is the most valuable feature."
"I can go in and unlock something easily if I need to. For an adult, I can reset it if something has slipped by. It's very easy to set it up and block what I need to block."
"I would rate TitanHQ WebTitan as seven out of ten."
"There are a few features we really like: it seems to be very robust, it's easy to set up, it has a lot more functionality and capabilities than we aren't even using yet, and the console is very intuitive."
"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."
"The WebTitan Content Filter has been the best product I have implemented!"
"WebTitan has helped reduce costs associated with Web filtering by more than 50%."
 

Cons

"It has to be able to control more than just web traffic. Malware, scanning, capture, and integration should be included with the content filtering."
"There have been a couple times where there were false positives."
"The interface is a little dated and a little awkward at times. That's a minor problem. It's workable."
"The technology employed by TitanHQ doesn't learn enough and is still on the basic side."
"While there is an antivirus on offer, it's not a very good one. We're not using it because it's not effective."
"The Oauth1 protocol has a lot of issues with authentication and it made it very difficult to initially authenticate with the API."
"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."
"The fact that all of our clients are pointed to the DNS proxy for DNS has caused us some problems."
"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 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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing is good. It's a substantial cost, but they've held their prices over the years, which has been good."
