Or for that matter Kerio. I've been trying the latest Kerio 4.1 betas
and Kerio now has stateful inspection for all protocols and in the next
beta they're finally adding good logging. There are still bugs, but
it's shaping up nicely. So far, no problems here...

Sygate is very good, I actually purchased the Pro version myself, but
the main advantage ZA has over it is the stateful inspection. But to
get that, you also have to put up with the bloat of unwanted "features"
as well.
