Now wait just a cotton pickin minute. I never said I swear by it, I have
looked at the others when it is time to renew and so far the balance of pros
and cons of staying with Burstek compared to the pros and cons of switching
to another filter have tipped towards staying. When comparing filters, it is
more than just comparing feature sets.

Keep your eye open in 2008..:)
Webmonitor is very good, support is excellent. Mr Tolmachoff however, swears
by Burstek.

Well, we're debating whether to renew SurfControl for another three years,
but if we do and a newer version of ISA server comes out, we probably won't
be able to upgrade it until we get a new product. So, we're kinda being
forced away from SurfControl, either now or within a couple of years.
I had several conversations with GFI about their WebMonitor (WebFilter
edition) this week, no "deal" there! The problem appears to be mostly
caused by their licensing model, where they go by total number of users, not
concurrent users.

Did you mention you were coming away from Surfcontrol? GFI will do
deals..you mean Webmonitor?

I'm looking for recommendations on web filtering software for the ISA
server. With SurfControl being bought out by WebSense, it is time to start
looking at possible alternatives. While they will continue supporting
current SurfControl customers for a few more years, it also means that if a
new release of ISA server comes out we cannot upgrade (right now we're
running ISA2006).
Originally we were hoping to go with GFI WebFilter, but after getting a
quote we decided not to go that route (it costs literally 10 times more than
SurfControl!). So, we're back to the search, and looking for good
replacements.
We ran across this website listing a bunch of different products, and I
would like to know any comments you guys have about the different products,
both good and bad.
