While Symantec WebFilter is a robust tool, it could benefit from a wider range of features. More customization options would enhance its usability.

"Effective web security software"
What do you like best about Symantec WebFilter / Intelligence Services?

Symantec has helped secure all the school systems very easily. Students are not allowed to access sites which are not meant for them, access control is a wonderful feature. It works in the background all the time to identify any threats and remove them or quarantine from systems. This has also proven to be an asset to prevent any malware attacks in our systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Symantec WebFilter / Intelligence Services?

The startup of systems becomes slow when Symantec is installed in system as it always `activates when systems reboot. So, the initial lag is always there when trying to access other apps after rebooting systems. Other than this, everything is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Software working well towards secure systems"
What do you like best about Symantec WebFilter / Intelligence Services?

It is a good software for all-around protection of systems. Authorization based access to systems and not allowing certain websites to be accessed by students are the best features of it. It is very easy to use as it continues to secure computers in the background while user continues to work on their tasks without any interruptions. Also, it alerts of a user of there is any malicious content in the system and immediatelyt quaratines it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Protecting systems from web threats and malware"
What do you like best about Symantec WebFilter / Intelligence Services?

Symantec WebFilter tool is pretty proactive in detecting threats to the systems. Its anti-malware technology is helping us protect our systems and servers from online threats. It is installed in the systems as part of the entire Symantec Web Suite and is very easy to use as it continuously works in the background to analyze users and their activity. Hence, it is very easy to implement and use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Symantec WebFilter / Intelligence Services?

The suite itself is quite heavy and consumes a lot of disk space, due to which other programs sometimes hang. Otherwise, overall a good software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Symantec allows to configure access to systems and certain websites easily. It also helps in detecting and blocking online threats. User access control is one of the best features of this software.

What do you dislike about Symantec WebFilter / Intelligence Services?

The only feature that can be improved upon would be the UI of the software. The alerts can be more user-friendly and informative. Similarly, admin interface of the app can also be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Symantec WebFilter works as it's intended to."

It's very effective tool. Helps our organization with phishing or for end users to click on the dangerous links in emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Symantec WebFilter / Intelligence Services?

now whenever we send any email with link inside it has this long prefix before the link itself so it makes emails less attractive:

"Good service covering all your needs"
What do you like best about Symantec WebFilter / Intelligence Services?

It allows accounts with special privileges to filter certain web content and block harmful or inappropriate websites. It also has real-time threat protection so the service is constantly in use to protect you from potentially harmful websites. There's also cloud intergration so the service is linked to the cloud meaning your data is protected alongside the whole security platform.

The customer service the platform provides has been useful when I have had to use it. As well as this the implementation f installing the service was relatively easy too. Due to my frequent usage of this platform I don't think i could go back to not using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Symantec WebFilter / Intelligence Services?

While it is useful in the services it provides, it can be relatively expensive especially for smaller businesses on smaller budgets. Organisations looking to get a service like this one should probably assess that they can afford it, but if they can should definitely get it because it is a good service as reasoned with in my last answer. Sometimes the ease of use in the UI can be a little less intuitive or simple-looking as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
