Which web filter to replace Bloxx?

[nicholab]

If you have Bloxx and you are replacing it which filter are you moving to and why?

[jonathan.lees]

Our Bloxx licence expired last month and we just switched to Sophos UTM. The main reason was costs, our supplier (Wave 9) allowed us to pay over 3 years, everything else we looked at wanted 3 years costs up front.

Fairly cheap for advanced web filtering etc.

How have you found it versus Bloxx any features you have missed?

[jonathan.lees]

No there's nothing from Bloxx I miss. On Bloxx we were on version 7.1 which I found quite frustrating to use in the way that it opened tabs for each configuration option, the Sophos gui is a lot easier to navigate for sure. If you ask Wave 9 they'll be able to give you a demo.

Any Smoothwall or Sophos UTM user happy for a phone call? Thanks

Hi Nicholab,

 

Appreciate you would want an impartial chat ref Sophos, but if you want a chat with one of our senior techs ref features and a demo etc, then I'd be more than happy to arrange this.

 

I'm sure you'll get a few 'user' volunteers along shortly otherwise : )

 

cheers
