Based on other buyer's searches, these are the products that could be a good fit for you.
Users find WebTitan's spam filtering effective, blocking spam and malicious content efficiently and reducing the need for manual intervention. They appreciate the spam digest reports and the ease of managing filters, which enhances user experience. Nonetheless, some users have reported issues with spam filtering accuracy and support, noting that legitimate emails are sometimes caught and alert emails can become overwhelming.
Users value WebTitan's customizable settings and the transparency it offers in filtering, making it easy to track and manage blocked sites.

Despite these positives, users have encountered problems with misclassified sites and interface usability, which sometimes results in legitimate sites being blocked or inappropriate sites slipping through.
Pros
It is a solution that can be perfectly integrated and it really is very effective for what you are looking for.
Some of its best features include the ease of setting it up, its ability to filter encrypted connections, the ability to filter specific url their fantastic customer support.
Good performance and simple implementation. I find this solution perfect for SME with not too complex networks configuration (absence of IAG).
Also very impressed with the customer service. They are very professional and responsive.
Cons
Over time, it became obvious that they were not supporting it well (or at all), all the while charging me a premium for it. Spam Titan on the other hand does the job well.
The IP configuration part of it, was quite particular, if you get it wrong, you'll have problems.
I cannot seem to get it to show the same list of blocked attempts in the email. I can only get a block count by category along with a unique domain count.
There was no pressure to purchase the software. The trial started out for a week and one email to rep to see if we could have more time and before we were off the phone it was extended to a month.
"Safeguarded my web browser"
Overall: For several years, WebTitan has supported us with a reliable web filtering tool that has served us well. We're confident that it's blocking and slowing traffic as we've set it up.
Pros: Quite easy to set up, clients were quickly migrated from the old operation, and new clients were quickly onboard ed. The monitoring functions are simpler to set up, and the data is displayed in a far more appealing manner. The ability to stop advertisement domains is part of content filtering; sure, this doesn't capture every ad site, but it's enough to make a difference. The greatest thing is that there is no charge for assistance. Any proposal I've made has received swift feedback and resolutions.
Cons: It's not as easy to install as I thought, but once it's up and running, it's a job well done. The impressive infrastructure, technologies, and support services, as well as the fact that it is cloud-based and has a strong product roadmap. We would not hesitate to suggest them to other businesses. Misclassified pages are also being blocked although they shouldn't be. The website could use some updating and improved organization.
"Cost effective solution for DNS filtering"
Overall: It does the job I need it to do and requires very little management overhead once set up
Pros: WebTitan is more cost effective but provides an equal level of protection compared to alternative DNS filters
Cons: Not being able to link policies to EntraID groups and not being able to nest policies.
"Very average product. Works fine, but feels very dated in usability and interface"
Overall: Less spam, since O365 spam filtering is woefully inadequate.
Pros: It does work fairly well at keeping out spam, and the daily summary emails of what is in the quarantine makes it manageable.
Cons: The interface feels horribly dated and has not improved at all since we started using it a couple years ago. It reminds me of early cpanel iterations in terms of UI. Also, the inability to manage what file extensions are blocked is a let down (be it add more, or let ones through that we need).
"Great, affordable web filtering"
Overall: We recommend WebTitan to all of our clients and it is part of our main stack.
Pros: WebTitan is easy to get up and running and does a great job of filtering with predictable results. It is also very flexible and can be used to have separate policies for different sets of users, and the AD integration makes this easy to apply.
Cons: We have not had any major issues with the product,
"Webtitan long term use"
Overall: We been using it for 5 years+, as soon as we installed we realize that our DNS issues with local providers in Perú (For some reason we always had problems with specific web services and websites even though we had 2 ISP, both had the problem but they were gone as soon as we deployed web titan) After the redirection to the webtitan appliances we installed, that issue was finally gone. We also used a lot the OTP for external users, that's a good plus
Pros: It finally fixed our DNS issues with local ISP providers
Cons: The loading time in reports through the web and I would like a new version of the virtual appliance.
