RE: Internet usage and monitoring

You can probably check out websense express, aimed at 50 users and below,
pretty affordable.

I would always prefer Websense, it is the most simple, powerful device
to use.

For that small of a network, look at Cymphonix. It does traffic
analysis via NetFlow.
It also deos content management.

So, you can use it to block the traffic or simply report on it.

Top talkers, top applications, etc....

This is an appliance based solution. Not expensive.

Hello List,

I am looking for an idea/program to monitor users internet usage. Due
to the
nature of the customer who requires the monitoring carried out, this
program
must be able to run on a windows box and needs to be very reasonably
priced
(I have no control over budget unfortunately). I am aware of programs
such
as ISA server (too expensive) and squid (*nix based). Any other
sugesstions
would be great.Customers network is round a bout 20 workstations that
need
to be monitored, so pretty small in reality.

Looking forward to all your help.

TIA

Jono
