    Cons
    Gen (NortonLifeLock, Avast, Avira, AVG)
    • The major drawback of using Avast secure web gateway that it sometimes slows down the system in blocking web threats.
    • Secondly, it is hard to set up the first time as it takes a lot of effort and time to completely integrate with the system to make it fully functional.
    • Starting scanning the web application and organizing network in the background which talks a lot of memory and slows down the other processes.

    • More integrations with the third-party agents to check device posture in the Zero Trust framework.
    • More granularity in firewall rules for full replacement of on-premise solutions.
