At between $27 and $35 per user, with full support and automated updating, WebWasher CSM is excellent value and is one of our two Best Buys. Add in its competence and ease of implementation and management, and you have a winner. WebSense, although expensive, offers a lot of features. However, the overall cost of ownership, including setup and installation, ongoing updating, and so on, is very reasonable. This makes the product a good value for medium to large organizations.
The SurfControl Web Filter 5.0 is loaded with features. As an established product with a strong and well-deserved reputation, the differences between it and our Best Buys are minimal. It receives our Recommended award.
