    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.

    Ubiquiti Networks
    Ubiquiti's wireless WAN solution is suitable for usage in businesses of all sizes. Smaller businesses may not profit as much from the integration of Wi-Fi devices due to the high expense of doing so, hence the cost-benefit analysis favors larger businesses. In big and medium-sized businesses, having access to such tools improves network security and administration by allowing for several, conceptually separate networks to be managed and made available from a single Wi-Fi access point.

    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.

    • Supply can be a problem, especially for new products. We have had to sometimes wait for months for supply to come in.
    • No phone support. Only email/chat. can be frustrating sometimes just texting someone, but have not had to contact them very often.

    We have not needed to contact support, except to replace one device that was damaged in shipping. The company immediately issued an RMA without delay, and we had our replacement product within a week

    In the past, we used D-Link wi-fi devices, where centralized management was not possible, distributing the same SSID through several devices. Which cost configuration time and instability in the use between one point and another, because eventually, this transition between a device and another by a client was not transparent and functional as it is today with the Ubiquiti solution.

    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.

    • Huge cost savings. Buy it once and you are done, no annual renewals.
    • Extremely reliable and scalable. We went from 0 to 900 Chromebooks in 2 years.
    • Very little maintenance, set it and forget it. Allows us to focus on other tasks.
