Websense, Symantec, or others?
I admin a small office of 50 employees. We have a new HR Director and she wants to enforce internet security. In the past we had used Websense to establish policies, rules, and track employee internet activity and behavior. Being a non-profit, we, like everyone, were hit hard by the economy and even though they were very good, the software was also very expensive - comparatively.
Should we pony up the money for another license to Websense, or are there alternatives? I do not want to put up or install Linux anything. It has to be MS Server2003 complaint software.
What are recommendations? Also what are stay-away-froms ?

You can also check Websense Express (same features of Websense but no integration), SecureComputing's SmartFilter offers almost same features (except for protocol control), and also GFI Web Filter (cheaper and very competitive)

i am not a fan of OpenDNS; Websense is truly the 800lb gorilla, which is the problem. I dont want to crack my peanut with their very expensive sledge hammer. Its much too large and is not the proper fit. No, Linux will not be a part of our topology - nothing further to say about that. I'll check out iPrism and eamsoft and report back in a few days...
