Web Security Appliance

My company is planning to purchase a content filter appliance ( Web Security Appliance), On my research I found various company that provide the services , best 20 appliance Cisco, Barracuda, SonicWall, DansGuardian, etc, but I do not see ClearBox. According to the Computer Consultant recommended ClearBox 330. Never head this appliance before, I looked at the website and it look impressive.

My company is having problem with the Internet Bandwidth, we have less than 100 employees, some employees might chat using msn, yahoo o skype  and they should not be using, download movies o music , looking at website not related to work.

1) Allow some employees to be able to download big files but redirect to a specific folder
2) Allow employees to look certain websites
3)Control the usage of the bandwidth
4)Firewall

Would you recommend ClearBox 330?, if not what other appliance would you recommend?

Thanks

A Sonicwall will do all that you ask for and more. You can filter what websites are accessible by content, or site, or user. You can require a user to login before browsing. There are various methods of bandwidth control, and it is a great firewall. All configuration is by a browser based interface, and wizards are available to make the tasks easier.

It would appear that a Sonicwall NSA2600 should do the job for you.

PS: I have never heard of ClearBox.
