I would recommend Symantec Proxy due to its stability and scalability. The proxy could be improved with better support and easier reporting. On a scale of one to ten, I would rate the solution as an eight.
I would rate it a nine out of ten. I would definitely recommend it to other people because they also have a hybrid solution and a solution in the cloud. This is a stable and robust solution with many features.
We use a web filtering feature to control and monitor various types of web activity, including data payloads. Integrating with other products is competitive and effective in terms of security measures. We've observed the significance of the reporting tools in providing detailed logs on decisions, user activities, and other relevant data. It is beneficial because whenever I encounter an entry-level task or a problem, I can rely on the technical processes and knowledge available. We can address and rectify issues promptly, resulting in consistently positive outcomes. I rate Symantec Proxy a nine out of ten.
I recommend it, but I emphasize the importance of clearly understanding your needs and desires before choosing a solution. Knowing exactly what you want is crucial because the chosen solution could significantly impact your organization, potentially resolving issues within seconds and ensuring robust protection for your audio. Overall, I would rate it eight out of ten.
The product is extremely good. It is an enterprise-level tool. It can do grand things. For a small business with basic internet content filtering needs, it's a waste of money. However, it's probably the best for high-level enterprises with complex needs. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
I would advise them to use Symantec Proxy, but only after comparing it with other solutions if their requirement is for on-site or infrastructure. For example, if you prefer cloud-based solutions, I would suggest other options over Symantec. I would rate Symantec Proxy overall as seven, including support. So, that's why I give it a seven out of ten.
Symantec Proxy will give you the confidence that your work has been manipulated as expected. For the companies planning to use Symantec Proxy, I would say that it is a scalable, user-friendly solution, and it will give confidence to the operators to work on it. Overall, I rate this solution an eight out of ten.

My company deployed Symantec Proxy both on the cloud and on-premises. There's a total of eight thousand users of Symantec Proxy in the projects of my company. I'd recommend Symantec Proxy to others looking into using it. My rating for Symantec Proxy is eight out of ten.
I would advise others there are better options compared to Symantec Proxy, such as Zscaler. It has better stability and similar features. I would recommend Zscaler when considering the cost-to-benefit analysis. I rate Symantec Proxy a six out of ten. I made my rating based mainly on the support team not currently being good and there is a single failure point being the device.

Symantec acquired Blue Coat, and then Broadcom acquired Symantec, so it's now the product of Broadcom. I've used both cloud and on-premises deployments. We're using an older version, deployed three years back or five years back. People are not deploying or purchasing the product right now. There are so many reasons. One of them is it's quite difficult to deploy. The support is also not good, and the cost is too high. I don't recommend the product to anyone. Now that we have a next-generation firewall, there are no more requirements for Proxy solutions. Since the next-generation firewall has the same URL filtering, and advanced URL filtering capacity, they have more features than this solution offers. I'd rate the solution four out of ten.

For the future, when sizing, do it for the next five years if it is on-premises so that you won't have to change the device. You will also need the redundancy backup device, this is very important. It's a good product. I would rate Symantec Proxy an eight out of ten.
