Websebse reporting capabilities

My company is investigating several packages to monitor employee
internet usage. Websense seems to be the most promising candidate but
most reviews don't address the details of usage reporting. Managers
want a concise report in the form of a "total usage time" but
calculating that value can be tricky.

Some of the less sophisticated packages we've looked use a
simple-minded "price per click" method which essentially logs a set
number of minutes for each web request. This can obviously yield
misleading results and angry managers!

Is there anyone that has experience with Websense that can give me an
idea of how a single usage time is determined and the level of control
the admin has over the calculation of this value?

Thanks.
