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."
"If someone is doing research and they're being blocked, and if we feel that it's a legitimate use, we can get them into the site they're looking for."
"Overall, I'm very happy with WebTitan; it has been a great solution for a very small library."
"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."
"WebTitan has helped reduce costs associated with Web filtering by more than 50%."
"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 most valuable feature is web filtering, where we are able to blacklist and whitelist sites on the fly."
"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."
"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."
"The Oauth1 protocol has a lot of issues with authentication and it made it very difficult to initially authenticate with the API."
"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 technology employed by TitanHQ doesn't learn enough and is still on the basic side."
"There were a few little glitches in the beginning when rolling out the client app that resides on laptops."
"The only thing I can think to change would be to give more options under the various categories for what you want to be blocked. There should be a way to be super specific."
"The fact that all of our clients are pointed to the DNS proxy for DNS has caused us some problems."
"I would like to have a live chat feature with their support."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing is on a yearly basis and the pricing is very reasonable."
"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."
"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 pricing of WebTitan is good. It's the right price. We paid more and more for Cisco Umbrella."
"The licensing, although I can't remember the exact cost, was very affordable. I want to say it was maybe $40 per license."
"The cost could be lower, though it is not currently prohibitive for larger companies."
"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."
