What model SonicWall do you have? You will also get malware protection on the SonicWall if you purchase a bundle that has content filtering and gateway AV protection. Have you had a look at www.firewalls.com ( http://www.firewalls.com/sonicwall/sonicwall-firewall/sonicwall-nsa-series/sonicwall-nsa-240) An NSA 240 bundle with all the UTM/CFS/IPS addons included only runs $1,391 for a year, and subscription renewals look to start at $582 for 1 year.
We have a couple of these in a failover pair and they work fine. The CFS stuff isn't very granular, and the concept of allowing users to manually override filtering for a short period of time isn't something that SonicWall seems to have considered, but we worked around the limitations successfully.
