Likelihood to Recommend	Gen (NortonLifeLock, Avast, Avira, AVG) 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. Incentivized Bart Kogan Lead Software Engineer Read full review	Nord Security NordLayer has become an invaluable resource for our security posture and day-to-day activity. The primary use case is preventing staff members from accessing sensitive resources on an unencrypted connection, applying NordLayer and conditional access policies in congruency. The ability to create teams and assigned them to specific dedicated servers is also helpful and allows for further security segmentation Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review

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. Incentivized Bart Kogan Lead Software Engineer Read full review	Nord Security The browser plugin needs some work, or some research about what browser/OS restrictions may limit its functionality. Ours does not work at all even after contacting support so we do not use it Toast/Windows notifications scheduled or deployed through admin center would be amazing. The ability to remind a user who has been disconnected for X hours would be a great feature Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review

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