Key learnings from peers

Valuable Features

  • "The categorize formula is very helpful. Previously, we used the Cisco solution, where we could not choose how sites are categorized. Blue Coat updated a lot of sites I categorized. There are other valuable features as well, such as block by location, block by IP, allow by IP, and block by user name, domain, or group domain."
  • "The content filters and SSL encryption are the most valuable features of this solution."
  • "The solution is very stable. In four years we have not seen any issues with the product."

Room for Improvement

  • "Java does not completely work. We are dependent on Java and when the current console does not run with Java, it is a problem for us."
  • "The console visibility and the performance impact on the internet needs improvement."
  • "Every customer has to perform a manual backup, and automatic backing up is needed."

Pricing

  • "The cost is much higher compared to other proxies."
These insights are based on the in-depth reviews provided by peers to help you make a better buying decision.
