Compare
With Other Products
It
is critical to provide a product comparison between these solutions or services
and our products. We used the most critical metrics for
our comparison analysis such as security, reliability,
confidentiality, privacy, and ease of use,
scalability, maintainability, visibility, and control factors.
The full results are presented in the following tables.
After
detailed industry reviews, like many of our customers, we have
concluded that only GargoyleTM GateKeeper Systems have adequately
addressed the most critical elements of a successful 'Parental
Control System.'
The
GargoyleTM GateKeeper is the only product in the market that is
fully installed on the user computers. It requires no
external dependencies on any services. It provides the best
tools, and systems to parents and businesses. The use of proprietary
technologies allows maximum efficiencies with the most accurate
results.
The GargoyleTM
products provide the highest privacy and security protection, the
best performance, and unbeatable processing speed. In
addition, its one time low cost price tag provides one of the best
investments for families.
User
Based, and Hybrid User-Service Based Products
Currently,
there are several products on the market that provide filtering
and/or monitoring features to families. Generally, these
systems do not provide adequate user privacy and protection.
They require some sorts of service dependencies with monthly
charges. Therefore, the users may not be forced to bounce
back from one service provider to another one. In addition, their low level of user
personalization is another reason why they have been unpopular.
The following table provides the comparison metrics for the major
'Parental Control Systems' in the market.
Case-by-Case Comparison Results
We
invite parents to examine these results carefully, and then decide
on the product that fits well with their needs. The table
clearly shows the advantages of our system in a number of critical
areas.
Exception:
We have identified the 'Bsafe' products to fit under user-service
products.

Solution
Advantages
The

Further, we have concluded that other systems do not provide the
adequate protection for business, families and children. Some of our
findings are such as:
User
Profile Privacy.
Some
systems may violate the users' privacy. Only Gargoyle provides full
user profile privacy. This will stop ISPs or other third
parties, from storing users' information to protect it from
possibly misuse. Gargoyle stops ISPs from sharing such
information with other agencies. Therefore, Gargoyle
protects children's profiles and accounts' personalization against
violations.
User Confidential Information.
Some
systems may exchange the user information stored on the family
computers. Only Gargoyle provides the most complete user and system
information encryption. All the user
personalization attributes and data, including all the Gargoyle
system information are encrypted, and can not be disclosed without
parents' permission. This means that the encrypted data are
not recognizable by other applications, and they are meaningless
without using Gargoyle Application. In addition,
Gargoyle will protect user confidential information against
intruders, and Spyware software. Gargoyle fully protects
user computer against local, and remote intruders.
Internet Security Management Tools.
Only Gargoyle GateKeeper provides a wide range of protecting tools
for user identity, information, and access control. Only Gargoyle provides the most complete security and
privacy protection tools.
Optional Automated Updates.
No
updates, or other activities should be performed without parental
permission. It is during such updates that the ISPs gain
access to much sensitive information on the user computers.
There are occasions when the ISPs may access other user
information for other marketing purposes.
GargoyleTM GateKeeper System provides automated list updates. All other
product updates may be performed explicitly. This will ensure
family privacy and information protection beyond the ISPs
standards.
Flexibility.
No
application should require external dependencies on other
service-based resources in order to function properly. The
problem may become serious when a service provider becomes
bankrupt, or simply stops supporting a product. In opposite,
Gargoyle works regardless of the types of the Internet access,
ISP, Browser, or Operating Systems. The GargoyleTM GateKeeper
systems will never stop protecting families under any conditions.
Once it is installed, it will be functional indefinitely. Its
rich designs allow a last longing performance regardless of the
version, and models. For some minimal fees, multiple updates
are also available.

Service-Based
Products
These
solutions are, however, available on a service basis, or through
specific Internet access types.
In addition, they are expensive, provide inadequate
protection against many severe Internet threats, and worst--they expose the identities of
families and other confidential information to marketers,
including the porn industry.
There is thus an urgent need for a product that can solve
all these problems and assist parents in protecting their
children.

technologies and parental control systems on the market, it is
