I am in the process of reviewing replacements for WebSense in our network (it is much too expensive for our small organization).
I have found 2 products so far that show promise: Web Inspector from Zixcorp.com And Sentian at N2H2.com The former uses a pass-by model with packet spoofing to monitor/block, and is a stand-alone server (does not depend on PIX). The second one integrates with the PIX like WebSense. Both are much less expensive. Here is an article from PCMag that reviews all three: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,1532849,00.asp Web Inspector got very low marks, but I have tested the application and it doesn't seem as bad to me as they make it out to be. It could be more intuitive, though.
