Considered Both Products	CyberSentriq DNS Filtering JN jesse nanes Systems Engineer Chose CyberSentriq DNS Filtering I prefer WebTitan to Webroot.

Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose CyberSentriq DNS Filtering Cost and umbrella had an issue with us as we had a hard time trying to make it work and never did figure out why it would not work.

User Testimonials
	CyberSentriq DNS Filtering	Forcepoint Secure Web Gateway
Likelihood to Recommend	WebTitan DNS Filer is a great content filtering solution, this tool is recommended to use to prevent misuse of the network. WebTitan DNS Filer allows your users to automatically block the content they want at the time they want. It's very easy to use, it works very well, it's really good and affordable, plus it offers great cloud security features that are highly flexible to help protect data or meet the needs of the company you work for. Incentivized Damith Low Software Engineer Read full review	Over the years, [in our experience], the maintenance of the Forcepoint Web Security solution proved to be more cumbersome and troublesome with each version upgrade. In addition, it did not transition well to support the large increase of remote workers. We also experienced weird incompatibilities with the client. We have since replaced this solution with Zscaler Internet Access, a cloud-based secure web gateway solution with a client that behaves as expected, is more flexible, and requires significantly less administration.

Pros	Protection Filter non business content Seemless usage Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	This package is one of the few that offers a category, quota time, that allows us to limit certain categories and or websites for staff that would normally be blocked for customers and may not be something that is needed in their day to day job duties. We allow staff one hour a day, broken down into six 10 min increments, to visit sites for shopping, travel arrangement and other areas that are more of a personal need than a business need. Forcepoint has a wide selection of categories that can be enabled, quota timed or restricted at a top-level or you can go more granular and drill down to subcategories to allow for only partial access. Incentivized AE Allan Eisenhauer Information Technology Coordinator / Purchasing Manager Read full review
Cons	The upgrade/update process is essentially a rip and replace with the newer components. Reporting could be more robust. Support is responsive but many timezones away. Incentivized CF Cody Fiehtner Director of Information Technology Read full review	The user access logs contain a lot of useless information. I understand this is very hard to tackle as I've seen this across any product that logs web activity. I would like to see more customization options of website block pages. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	It is very stable, the organisation has "locked in" the product and has no plans to change or try another product. We have already renewed our 2019-2020 licenses. It is user friendly and people catch on easily when they first use it. The only downtime is when we install Microsoft updates! It has excellent reporting which help in determining how the organisation's Internet is used and also during both internal and external IT audits. Incentivized JJ Junie Johwa Senior Infrastructure Analyst Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	Despite the intimidating Linux CLI when you use the appliance for troubleshooting, the web security usability compensates as most of the Administration of the system is done there. It is GUI based and has an easy to use UI where one can navigate around rather easily like getting reports, checking alerts, looking the whole setup under deployment to check if all services are running in one place though there are other parts to the system. Incentivized JJ Junie Johwa Senior Infrastructure Analyst Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	The is a quick first response to acknowledge your issue and the Engineers never take more than two hours to fix an issue and we hardly get issues looking at the fact that the system is pretty stable. There is also a robust Knowledge Base in the site for known problems. Incentivized JJ Junie Johwa Senior Infrastructure Analyst Read full review
