Provides a lot of general protection for my business PC, including spam and email filtering, as well as email protection. Internet protection at real-time is very effective. There is nothing negative I can say about McAfee Web Gateway. It's the best security software ever for small and big companies. Buy with trust.

Excellent products based on all the needs we had. Most of our use cases has been able to implement. DLP is kind of difficult to implement but possible. However you needs a big team to handle the tools as it's capabilities and management is complex. Nevertheles you can find a way to leverage all the funcionality when needed.

Kind of flexibility in Deployment and Customization which we get with McAfee Web Gateway was the driving factor we went with it and it has met our expectations. After implementing the McAfee Web Gateway, the count of the service desk tickets raised by users related to the web service issues have been decreased. And it has protected our office users and remote users as well.
