Bluecoat

Here is Bluecoat in plain terms. Blue Coat provides advanced enterprise security. The job it does: assessing, monitoring and responding to security threats on your behalf.

It makes the most sense for companies without a full security team. Alongside the main category they mention Cloud Security, Network Security and Security. As a large company team themselves (1,001 to 5,000 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. At that size expect formal onboarding, documentation and a longer sales cycle.

Bluecoat is based in Sunnyvale, California and founded in 1996. You can read more at bluecoat.com.

Before you commit, look at response times, what is included in monitoring, and reporting. Get the renewal terms in writing before the first invoice.

If you have worked with Bluecoat, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
