With its use of NAT technology and a remarkable ease of use when installing and configuring a network connection, SyGate stands out in the proxy-server space. If an organization's needs are limited to what is expected from a traditional proxy server, then Sygate is a strong choice.
However, Sygate does lack some of the more advanced capabilities found in competitors' products — like DNS caching, Web serving, and remote Web administration capabilities. As a result, organizations whose needs transcend traditional proxy serving will likely want to consider other solutions.
Pros: Uses NAT technology instead of traditional proxy technology · Supports remote access · Easy to set up and administer
Cons: No Web-based administration · No supporting technologies, such as a Web or FTP server · No Unix version
