    McAfee Web Gateway is best suited for all types of organizations if they wan to achieve the security for their users as it has the large intel database as well. The best part is its flexible hybrid deployment methods- it can be deployed on premises (hardware and virtual), in the cloud, or both for the high availability.

    Pros
    Radware
    • ShieldSquare provides an easy to implement way of identifying website users that could be bots.
    • By rating the potential of the user of being a bot, we are able to handle that user in the proper way.
    • False positives are extremely rare with ShieldSquare. Plus, their support staff is also available to analyze traffic to specific content, and they can customize their algorithms when necessary to optimize the performance of their solution to suit our needs.

    Cons
    Radware
    • It would be nice to allow for more granularity when selecting which bots I'd like to allow through. I contacted support and asked about this and they said this was in the works.
    • If you select to show captchas instead of blocking, I feel their captcha screen could use some improvement on the UI/UX to make it more intuitive for users to know what to do. I contacted support and made them aware of this.
    • Would be nice to see captchas information in the statistics (i.e. how many captchas were presented, from what IP addresses, how many were filled out correctly),

    Excellent products based on all the needs we had. Most of our use cases has been able to implement. DLP is kind of difficult to implement but possible. However you needs a big team to handle the tools as it's capabilities and management is complex. Nevertheles you can find a way to leverage all the funcionality when needed.

    When I compared these two products, Distil Networks only offered a solution where their bot detection sits in between your website and the visitors, similar to how Cloudflare works. I didn't want this so I decided to go for ShieldSquare that uses connectors. I want my visitors to hit the website directly, not have something sit in between.

    The configuration of the Cisco Secure Web Appliance of even worse than the one of Skyhigh's Secure Web Gateway. The detecction rate was slightly higher but the visibility worse.
