User Testimonials
	Cyren DNS Security (Cyren Web Security)	Smoothwall SWG
Likelihood to Recommend	Cyren For any form of company control on a larger scale where threats can have a very detrimental effect but not suited to SME scenarios was cost factor would be a key component and not require as much automation. Incentivized Lee Atkins IT Manager Read full review	Smoothwall Smoothwall SWG is very suitable in companies where there is a lot of staff and power to distribute the bandwidth by areas and give priority to the staff that requires better service. It's also well suited for business that require protection of their data and services as it is constantly monitoring the network and does not let them enter dangerous sites.

Pros	Cyren Category Control in multiple languages. Simple interface controls whever I am. Swift and experienced support team. Incentivized Lee Atkins IT Manager Read full review	Smoothwall Real-time IP filtering is very favorable. That helps limit and restrict prohibited content. Elaboration of personalized reports of the activities or pages that users visit to make new blocking rules to the pages most visited by users that may damage the functioning of the servers.

Cons	Cyren Some enhancements to filetype control as PDF's can be flagged wrongly preventing download as executables Quicker log updating on the fly error checking. Incentivized Lee Atkins IT Manager Read full review	Smoothwall It is necessary for them to have more material or a community that can help expand knowledge about this software so users can use 100% of their tools.

Alternatives Considered	Cyren Better price point and interface and system thinking ahead to the future and not re-using the same old systems. Incentivized Lee Atkins IT Manager Read full review	Smoothwall Smoothwall SWG has many tools similar to pfSense but in my opinion I like the graphical environment of smoothwall swg more. It is more didactic and simple to use for new users. Also pfSense lacks the tools for monitoring in real time and the elaboration of reports that helps to perform statistics on sites visited.

Return on Investment	Cyren Protected against some dangerous day zero threats. Incentivized Lee Atkins IT Manager Read full review	Smoothwall This software helps a lot and is very economical, since it is free and it can be installed in equipment with low performance. That is of importance to companies with little budget or who are just starting out in the market. Incentivized germary zambrano jefe del departamento de informatica Read full review
