Find out in this report how the two Internet Security solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product's user management is an area where my company does not face any challenges."
"The Forcepoint client software can be downloaded on a user's machine so that it can filter the sites from home or the office. That's one of the biggest features. We can use it for filtering our laptops for our users at any place."
"Secure Web Gateway's most valuable features are firewall blocking and anti-malware scanning."
"In terms of functionality, Forcepoint is the best web proxy available."
"It allowed our company to not worry about the security of a page, but talk more about the content and the productivity of specific types of web categories."
"Forcepoint Secure Web Gateway does most of its job well, but I especially like its data security feature."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to allow or block sites by category."
"This is a highly detailed product with very good key features."
"The most valuable feature of Quad9 is that it is a free solution."
"Setting up Quad9 is straightforward if you know what you're doing, and it's easy to use overall."
"The availability of clusters is limited, and the product is very unstable. The development team is slow as well."
"A room for improvement in Forcepoint Secure Web Gateway is the support it offers. It's very bad. What I'd like to see in the next release of the product is for it to be less complicated because at the moment Forcepoint Secure Web Gateway is more complicated than other products. Sometimes issues come up that you can't solve without the support team. For example, you should write the root password to fix the issue. In the next release of the product, it would be good if it had an easy-to-use interface. Troubleshooting issues in Forcepoint Secure Web Gateway should be less complicated as well."
"Overall the software is occupying too much memory space. If they could remedy that, it would be a better experience, because today Windows is occupying too much memory space as well (in terms of the RAM), and this software has also started occupying all the memory. Due to this, I have less space for my other office products and data. I can't, for example, operate a huge Excel sheet or other datasets."
"Managing the endpoint for both DLP and web security should be simplified."
"We have had latency issues."
"The product needs to have more mobility."
"The initial setup was complex."
"A feature we wish to see addressed in the next release of Forcepoint Secure Web Gateway involves its administration."
"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."
"Quad9 could improve by having more free features, such as custom DNS filtering."
