Overall Satisfaction with Sophos Web Content Filtering

We use web filtering to prevent access to websites with malicious, pornographic or illegal content.

We could also only allow access to content related to the work to be performed by people.

You can also restrict access to websites whose content is in your configuration file, this has been done through a list of terms.
  • Restrict access to web pages with malicious content.
  • Restrict access to illegal websites.
  • Allow access to websites allowed in the company.
  • It only allows UTF-8 encoded characters.
  • It does not support metadata.
  • It does not support comments in the custom filter file.
  • Filtered by content or category.
  • Custom filtering.
  • Record of all user activity.
  • Increased productivity of employees by not being distracted so much.
  • Economic savings by preventing computers from being infected by viruses.
  • Better use of company resources.
They are very similar products, in the case of Sophos it already comes preconfigured with 14 categories of dangerous sites or malicious or illegal content.

It has a console that allows you to block, allow or display a notice to users who access web pages with certain content.

This console makes it very easy to configure and customize permissions by category and users.
