Re: cymphonix

I saw it action for the first time at InterOP NYC - Jacob Javits Center and I 
was EXTREMELY impressed!  If it wasn't for the GUI being so powerful and its 
turn-key purpose, I would of returned it after 2 days!  Currently I am running 
7.3.2 (2 patches) as a 30day demo that just got extended to 60 days due to 
minor outstanding bugs with the database and GUI.  The 7.0 release was 
premature and contained approx. 30 bugs, half of which were fixed in 7.3.2.  
Version 7.3.5 is due out Dec 1 and its supposed to correct all my reported bugs.

Email notifications were removed prior to the release of 7.0, but are on the 
roadmap for Dec06.  Along with a dozen or so, new features (i.e. custom content 
filter categories, custom URLs).

Tech is dedicated and responsive to all my reported bugs/issues.  So 
responsive, that they are sending me a seperate free personal appliance just to 
test for them.

I am a long time WEBsense customer and I am looking at Cymphonix, 
Networkengines, and Finjan as a single replacement "appliance" solution for my 
all Internet traffic.  WEBsense offers more flexibility with content categories 
and notifications.  Finjan offers a identical features as Cymphonix, but with 
the addition of application behavior threat detection.  Overall, if Cymphonix 
can iron out a few minor database and GUI bugs and incorporate the new features 
I requested--it will be a solid winner!
