Cisco Web Security Appliance Stability
It is scalable and is a very effective solution in that regard. You can size it differently according to your needs, as there are various models available. When it comes to scalability, we address five key factors.
View full review »It was very stable. We enjoyed working with it. What we liked best about the WSA was the ability to block uncategorized traffic.
Uncategorized is usually where you'll find your zero-day issues. A brand new website from a bad actor or bad country is unlikely to be categorized in the Cisco URL database, so we chose to block it.
There are advantages and disadvantages to blocking that. If you block that, you are blocking a lot of things, and it becomes more of an administrative headache.
As long as you start using this Cisco WAS, URL reporting system, then there is a way around that. Because you could submit this URL we believe is business and whatever, or marketing.
Outside of that, you had to create a white list, which we were able to do due to our flexibility. If something was quick, this is an emergency, this is a valid site, it's not malware, it's not bad, you can add it to that list in your text file.

The virtual appliance is very easy to implement and is stable with no crashes.
Power outages may affect the hardware appliance because its hard disk is encrypted.

It's very stable. We have thousands of users and they don't have any issues with it. It's very stable.
If you want this product to be stable you have to put it through the EPS and you have to manage the connection to the power. If you shut down the product, there will be a problem because they encrypt the discs and you'll have hardware loss. The solution won't work.

The stability is lacking and is something that should be looked at. We don't find it to be very stable.

Cisco Web Security Appliance is stable. Very recently we deployed corporate-wide security practices with all the Cisco devices like Cisco Firepower, Cisco AMP, Cisco Cloud Email Security, Umbrella, and so on and so forth. That infrastructure is running quite okay for the last two to two and a half years. So I must say that all the security products are quite stable in nature.

It is a very stable solution.
View full review »The solution itself is stable, but it all depends on the infrastructure of the end-user, and how to integrate the product to the end-user.
It really depends on the complexity of the infrastructure and the design.
