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."
"Among the valuable features of WebTitan are the ability to white-label it, which is important for us, the fact that it is fully a cloud platform... and the ability to integrate with Active Directory"
"I can't think of very much that needs improving in the solution."
"It has been easy to understand and use the customization options provided by WebTitan."
"The DNS proxy is also valuable. It has nothing to do with blocking websites, which we can do by sending all our DNS requests through WebTitan. However, the DNS proxy gives us more information about the machine sending the request. If you cross-reference that information with WADA, you can determine which user is making the request and create a user-specific policy or profile."
"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."
"Using this solution has helped to boost productivity in the company."
"It has been easy to understand and use customization options provided by WebTitan."
"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."
 

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."
"We have had a couple of instances where tickets have been closed without getting a true resolution."
"The fact that all of our clients are pointed to the DNS proxy for DNS has caused us some problems."
"The technology employed by TitanHQ doesn't learn enough and is still on the basic side."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The documentation could always be better. That's true for any organization."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing is on a yearly basis and the pricing is very reasonable."
"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."
"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 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."
"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."
"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."
