Smoothwall SWG is being used in my organization for real-time monitoring the navigation of inappropriate or illegal content which may cause problems to the servers by entering some type of malicious file that may compromise the service and data of my servers.
- 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.
- 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.
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.
