Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:

More Blue Coat ProxySG [EOL] Pros →

"I like the traffic monitoring because it meets the firewall protocols.""We think it's a good solution for cloud security, where one has hybrid cloud. They have different cloud solutions like a Office 365 or Azure or Amazon. This is a good solution to control all the different cloud solutions you have in your family of hybrid clouds, from one panel. This is what the main feature we look for.""It has a nice graphic interface and it is easy to find information about effectively using the product because of the large user-base."

Cons
"It would be great if the product had inbuilt queuing for Quality of Service.""It lacks deployment over multiple platforms and integration with SDN architecture.""We cannot automate the product since the IP address can only be assigned after acquisition of the serial number."

More Blue Coat ProxySG [EOL] Cons →

"Sometimes when using high availability, the second firewall does not come up immediately if the first one goes down.""However, we would like them to add more integrations. We would appreciate a more open solution. They're quite good when you have the entire Fortinet ecosystem, but otherwise it's not as good of a solution.""It should be set up more specifically so that I only pay for what I want."

    Overview
    ProxySG appliances provide complete control over all your web traffic, delivering world-class threat protection. Robust features include user authentication, web filtering, data loss prevention, inspection, and visibility of SSL-encrypted traffic, content caching, bandwidth management, stream-splitting and more.

    Today’s bandwidth requirements are out of control, consuming capacity as soon as it’s available. As users shift to mobile access and the volume of interactive and video content dramatically increases, it seems hard to keep up without adding a lot of expensive bandwidth. However, by reducing bandwidth demands and optimizing and accelerating the network, FortiCache caching appliances let you keep up with explosive bandwidth demand while delivering higher quality of service.
