    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.

    If you already have Webroot AV, it makes sense to continue with the same vendor. It's pretty cheap compared to some solutions, so it might be the case that it's this or nothing, in which case this is a no brainer. If you are an MSP, this is an easy product to sell, and requires very little maintenance. you do need to monitor it but it runs itself most of the time. If you are a customer with >50 users, you should really be looking for a product that is a bit higher up the food chain

    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.
