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."
"As far as seeing the value, it was probably instantaneous; once we went live with it, I could review stats on the customer portal side of things and just dig into the details, which was easy to understand, and it was pretty instantaneous to say, "Hey, we made the right decision.""
"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."
"The WebTitan Content Filter has been the best product I have implemented!"
"If you need to monitor your internet and you've been dragging your feet out of fear of the complexity of doing it, don't worry about it, because WebTitan is very simple and straightforward, integrates right into your existing equipment without needing to buy anything, and takes only 25 to 30 minutes to set up."
"I can't think of very much that needs improving in the solution."
"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."
"Overall, I'm very happy with WebTitan; it has been a great solution for a very small library."
"It has been easy to understand and use the customization options provided by WebTitan."
 

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."
"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."
"One issue that they have just solved is that there's a new interface for paying bills."
"I've been trying to install an OTG on Windows 7 machines, and I simply can't get it to work."
"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."
"I wasn't aware of WebTitan's Azure AD integration until now. The takeaway is that those types of enhancements should be broadcast from TitanHQ a little more openly than they are."
"I would like to have a live chat feature with their support."
"The interface is a little dated and a little awkward at times. That's a minor problem. It's workable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing is on a yearly basis and the pricing is very reasonable."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing is good. It's a substantial cost, but they've held their prices over the years, which has been good."
"The pricing of WebTitan is good. It's the right price. We paid more and more for Cisco Umbrella."
"It's very aggressively priced, which is something that we definitely like."
"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."
