    I have been using [Avast Secure Web Gateway (SWG)] for a very long
    time in my organization, it is very easy to use with having the interface
    created on a very advanced module. Designed with much-modernized UI and dashboard
    is very pleasing to use and to have the best experience on it.

    The Netskope CASB solution is well-suited for any company due to the proliferation of SaaS applications. With the agent being installed on endpoints, the product is well suited for remote work environments where a managed corporate network may not be available. The agent allows visibility and controls to be applied to any networks the devices connect to.

    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.

    • Public IP for user can be from different country then it came from
    • Sometimes you can't get anywhere with Netscope ON
    • Location is the key for speed so users complain for speed of 'internet'
    • Some location blocks Netscope IP ranges

    Really easy to use for administrators and for end users, as all is unified in one single agent. Management and deployment is also very easy to do, so overall it is a user and administrator friendly product.

    There have been some struggles with their infrastructure keeping pace with demand and load. Support can only do so much and has to defer to known problems being escalated.

    We felt that Netskope provided a more holistic view in the CASB space from a user and usage perspective. In addition, the cost structure for Menlo was a bit higher and was a bit more complicated in the installation and maintenance perspectives

    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.
    • Avast Secure Web Gateway [(SWG)] is one of the best protection solutions available in the market to secure network traffic.
