We use it as our Webproxy to prorect the surf traffic from malware and integrate it with a third party threat emulation solution. We chose it, since we used to use the precssor product Webwasher and the competitors were not so much better to decide for a migration to a totally new product.

We were using Firewall based URL filtering options for our company but faced many challenge like throughput issue, false positives. Then we moved to McAfee Web Gateway and we are able to achieve our required use cases with it. It has the best filtering and security to the users even if they are working from out side of the office as our all traffic routed through it.
