WebSense

I'm currently evaluating WebSense (http://www.websense.com/index.cfm) with
my PIX firewall.  It seems to do a great job of filtering web sites.  I've
also been playing with the reporter software which logs all the URL's people
request into a SQL database.  This too seems to be working great.  Although,
when using the PIX, you cannot keep track of bytes downloaded, so many of
the canned reports do not work (since they are based on bytes downloaded).
I have started experimenting with different queries directly on the database
that will yield reports with relavent information.
I'm curious about the experience other's have had with WebSense?  Any horror
stories?  
Is there any competition to WebSense?  Anybody else out there make software
so I can log my internet usage?
