Pros/Cons
  • Pros

  • Nobody jumps into the webfilter on to resolve an issue that isn't an immediate need. That quick response keeps end users happy which makes my day to day life easier.
  • So when I need to be in the webfilter I don't always know exactly what im looking for or where it is. Using the quick chat feature has always resolved my issue in a timely manner.
  • Cons

  • The filters are finicky. The most struggle I've had with Linewize is just getting websites either blocked or allowed properly.
  • As a teacher, I NEVER know what websites are blocked for my students. I may create an entire lesson using one website which I find out after I have started my class is partially or wholly blocked.

  • Pros

  • Bought 2 XG 210 appliances for HA, had to replace them on warranty 3 times, it was done without issues. Antivirus and overall filtering is good.
  • I feel pretty confident in its ability to keep the network secure. Ours is connected to the Sophos UTM and Endpoint Protection software, and I do really like how they are able to talk to each other.
  • Cons

  • Functionality is not good everything is not working unfunctional.
  • Used it on versions 15 and 16, each update broke something, even minor ones.
