Overall, [Avast Secure Web Gateway (SWG) is] the best
option available to secure my website from any potential attack. A clean dashboard and fully functional UI make it more valuable. Definitely recommend
this to other business to have on their system to secure websites. Avast Secure Web Gateway [(SWG)] has that it secures
network traffic without taking help from additional proxy servers or
non-authorized applications which is great to have in the organization.

I have been using this platform in my organization for securing the network for a very long time and I am satisfied with their services and features.
It helps me in blocking web threats before coming on the network automatically which saves my network from potential attack.
Completely functional UI with having all the features to have a fast and secure working environment.

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.

Blocking web threats is its excellent feature.
The way it ensure the security of our whole organization is splendid indeed.
The best thing is that it is very simple to deploy.

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.
