Blue Coat ProxySG [EOL] Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Information Security Engineer at M.Tech5.0I highly recommend this stable, scalable, market-leading web access control solution. It improves internet performance and its Policy Manager is valuable, despite needing another appliance for inbuilt QoS.
Architect - Cloud Serviced at a computer software company with 501-1,000 employees2.5I found the solution good for proxy and ADN features, including Blue Coat director integration. However, its slow evolution, lack of automation for cloud deployment, and poor SDN integration led me to switch due to insufficient capabilities.
Security Consultant at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees4.5I've used ProxySG for 10+ years; it's a stable, high-performance solution for SSL inspection, despite complex policy and not being a full WAF. Excellent support justifies its cost.
IT Security Engineer at a financial services firm with 501-1,000 employees4.0I found URL filtering and social media monitoring valuable for preventing data loss and controlling activities. The flexible filtering options are good, but I believe the GUI needs a modern update.
Information security Administration - Expert. at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees4.0I've used this solution for three years, finding its anti-phishing crucial as it effectively reduced web threats and APT attacks. While initial setup was complex, it's stable and scalable. Customer service and intellectual analysis for APT vectors could improve.
