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 has been easy to understand and use the customization options provided by WebTitan."
"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."
"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."
"It has been easy to understand and use customization options provided by WebTitan."
"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."
"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 main example of how it has improved our operations is from a sheer administration standpoint."
"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."
 

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."
"While there is an antivirus on offer, it's not a very good one. We're not using it because it's not effective."
"It works for us, and I have no real complaints about it. It is self-intuitive, but it could have intuitive help where you don't have to email somebody asking how you do something. They might already have it, but I've never used it."
"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."
"There have been a couple times where there were false positives."
"The technology employed by TitanHQ doesn't learn enough and is still on the basic side."
"I would like to have a live chat feature with their support."
"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 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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing is on a yearly basis and the pricing is very reasonable."
"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."
"The pricing of WebTitan is good. It's the right price. We paid more and more for Cisco Umbrella."
"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."
"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."
"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 cost could be lower, though it is not currently prohibitive for larger companies."
