Overall Satisfaction with McAfee Web Gateway
McAfee Web Gateway is used across our organization for web security. It enforces policies related to Internet access such as appropriate use, malware inspection and prevention of unwanted downloads.
- Very flexible rule configuration for tiered access. With AD integration, easily allow Internet access based on groups.
- SSL inspection of web content. URL categories can be exempted from inspection such as financial or health.
- Customizable block pages. Allows you to place your policy statement on the block page as well as explanations for why a page is blocked.
- Sometimes rule tracing is difficult to pinpoint errors.
- HTML interface is in early stages. Both Java and HTML are available.
- An effective tool in enforcing Internet policies.
- Adds a necessary layer of Internet security over and above UTM Firewall offerings.
Both had comparable feature sets with Web Gateway at lesser cost.
