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.

Return on Investment	Gen (NortonLifeLock, Avast, Avira, AVG) I am facing a lot on my organization's websites that it shows a lot of ads on the screen which sometimes got a freeze on the page and takes the whole screen to play which is a lot of time-consuming and slows down the work.
