As a company we provide support to a lot of companies who provide reception and security support for buildings and industrial estates, the building management teams needed a way of being able to block non-work related internet browsing and we was able to use WebTitan to accomplish this, while not impacting internet browsing for the end users.
It allows the protection of the computers and servers from malicious and phishing sites. We use across the network and it does a good job. It is responsive and allows us reporting on what type of content it is filtering. So it appears to work although we are not very big so some places see more sites it blocks. But we like it
Pros
Protection
Filter non business content
Seemless usage
Cons
Initial configuration
Web interface could be more user friendly
Reporting could be easier

I am thinking for smaller networks as we are small and we do not see a lot of issues. So it is hard to say how well it would be for larger user base. But you do need some technical knowledge to setup and understand how it works. But overall I like it.

We replaced a Barracuda Webfilter 410 device when it went EOL. WebTitan DNS Filter provides us with a very similar filtering experience at a reduced price.
Pros
Does a good job of enabling different levels of filtering based on AD integration.
Has a decent set of reporting available.
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.

There is a bit of confusion when conflicting policies are encountered. Documentation could be better concerning the rule precedence when these conflicts are encountered. A visual indicator on the dashboard screen of successful WADA and DNSProxy connectivity.
An option to export reports to PDF format would be welcome too. When submitting evidence to auditors, they prefer file formats that are not readily editable. Being limited to XLSX or CSV exports is a negative in this case.
