“A step ahead towards control of network activities | SWG”
This is by far the best appliance deployed in the organization and is currently being used.
SWG has helped us achieve highly Granular control over web based applications traversing through HTTP / HTTPS services and also provided more authentication types that other products did not.
Its deployment has been fairly easier and configuration went really fast with Support Team.
The Domain/URL categorization feature is fairly accurate, the Intel is always up to date and most of the last intels are found to be auto categorized making network control easier.
There are cases of False positive categorization, but the review TAT after a FP submission is real quick.
As per the size of organization, it does have slowness issues, face slowness/server crashes sometimes, but is resolved real quick by the support team.
Overall great experience.
