Surfcontrol. Yeah.. the license is more expensive but, you'll save a lot of
cost in labor, in my experience. They have a hosted model and an enterprise
product they can deploy to your network. It's easy to deploy and there is very
good reporting (particularly in the enterprise product).
I think one of the benefits that is most oft overlooked with web filtering is
the protection of the desktop users from spyware/adware. Products like
SurfControl/Websense (merging real soon) do a good job of categorizing those
sites and you'll see a dramatic decrease in the amount of time spent cleaning
up that kind of stuff. I work for a small MSP and most of our customers see
web filtering save them money over time.

Subject: Internet usage and monitoring
Hello List,
I am looking for an idea/program to monitor users internet usage. Due to the
nature of the customer who requires the monitoring carried out, this program
must be able to run on a windows box and needs to be very reasonably priced
(I have no control over budget unfortunately). I am aware of programs such
as ISA server (too expensive) and squid (*nix based). Any other sugesstions
would be great.Customers network is round a bout 20 workstations that need
to be monitored, so pretty small in reality.
Looking forward to all your help.
TIA
Jono
