Symantec Secure Web Gateway Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Principal Consultant at CSaaS3.5Symantec Secure Web Gateway is straightforward to use, offering easy traffic monitoring and a simple interface for managing URLs. Although it occasionally blocks legitimate URLs, requests to unblock them are easily managed. I'll evaluate potential improvements like AI-driven security.
Sr.Technical Consultant at Meta Infotech3.0I use Symantec Secure Web Gateway for URL policies related to cloud security, data protection, and SSL. It's easy to deploy with a faster implementation than other products, but its data center struggles to handle most traffic.
