Scott, I believe that RuleSpace (http://www.rulespace.com/) is a strong competitor to WebSense, though less well known. Cyberpatrol is one of the classic vendors providing products in this space, though it appears to me that WebSense and RuleSpace are a cut above in terms of their technology. Hope this helps, -David -----Original Message----- From: shewitt () cdw com [mailto:shewitt () cdw com] Sent: Monday, September 18, 2000 8:43 AM To: firewall-wizards () nfr net Subject: [fw-wiz] 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? ------------------------------- Scott Hewitt _______________________________________________ Firewall-wizards mailing list Firewall-wizards () nfr net http://www.nfr.net/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards _______________________________________________ Firewall-wizards mailing list Firewall-wizards () nfr net http://www.nfr.net/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
