Internet monitoring

WebTrends makes good HTML-based scheduled reporting of proxy servers, web servers, and firewalls. My management-clones love 'em!

Right. Webtrends is a great product for performance statistics. It's not so great for security-related events unless you know what you're looking for (which you could then find out without Webtrends).

Unfortunately, Webtrends does nothing otherthan report. That is, it can't control or inhibit traffic. For that, you would need a product like CyberSitter, SurfControl, NetNanny, WebSense, etc. These products interact with traffic and allow you to block or allow sites based on its category(gambling, sport, financial, adult, etc.).

Hope that helps -

The best I would recomend is XStop for Proxy Server 2.0. It can block web sites based on keywords (sex, drugs, war etc.) & you can add to allow specific users not to be blocked by XStop.
Downlaod a trial version & update its libraries, it works like a dream.

I really like surfcontrol. You havn't mentioned a bugdet.

Look into Enron WebInspector; Easy to use, good monitoring and report capability; we've used for over a year and have never had any issues.
