Title: RE: [FW-1] websense versus surfcontrol

Daniel;

I will not give you any comparison of the two simply because I have an abvious bias towards one. However, I can tell you that we were one of the original OPSEC partners and have lots of experience with FW-1 and content filtering. If you have any technical questions feel free to email me direct and/or suggestions as to where to run Websense (proxy, firewall, or with a cache) let me know.

BTW: We are now NG "certified" too :-).

Cheers

I can't find an objective comparision between WebSense and SurfControl.   Could you please share your experience good or bad with either of these products as a UFP server?   Also, anybody done this with HA?

We currently implement a filter at our proxy server and are interested in moving to the firewall/UFP.   It appears the top two contenders are WebSense and SurfControl.   We may continue doing reporting off the proxy logs as that's where authentication occurs.

Looking for comments about:
- list quality
- administration
- performance
- stability
- support
