"The most valuable feature is the categorization, where you can allow general access to an application but limit specific features."
"The critical role is web URL filtering."
"The most valuable feature of Forcepoint Web Security is creating the easy to install further policies that are deployed through the Forcepoint security manual at some stage. Just drag and drop and the policies are there."
"I have found the simplicity of the solution valuable. The dashboard and reports are good as well."
"SWG allows me to track internet usage patterns, helping optimize bandwidth and understand how much time each employee spends online."
"The initial setup is easy. It's not difficult."
"There is some sandboxing available, which is quite useful."
"Setting up Quad9 is straightforward if you know what you're doing, and it's easy to use overall."

"What's missing in Forcepoint Secure Web Gateway is a specific level of micro-control on protocols or devices, for example, where you can control a particular user or user device."
"Database synchronization failures"
"The technical support team's response time could be improved."
"We are using a V10000 G3 appliance. It is just a proxy. It is just HTTP, FTP, and HTTPS. Now, as our website has developed and we are using rich time-connectivity protocols, the proxy doesn't have the ability to work with these protocols. It would be nice if the UDP feature was there for it to filter UDP traffic. It needs firewall capabilities for UDP filtering. Its upgrades can be quite complex, and they don't always go as per the plan. Its reporting could be a bit more granular."
"Allow for faster exemption of websites or the ability to reclassify websites."
"We have had latency issues."
"Quad9 could improve by having more free features, such as custom DNS filtering."
"It used to work fine for all the devices, but it started to slow and become non-responsive. I would have to reload the page two or three times before all the pages loaded. With OpenDNS, I only need to load the page once."
