Hi Everyone,
I am just wondering what people recommend and use for Internet Security and Monitoring on their SMB sites with Small Business Server? I have a growing number of clients who all seem to want similar features in their security solutions such as:
1. The ability to monitor their users Internet usage history on the firewall to check on what sites they are browsing and whether they are using non work related software like Live Messenger, P2P file sharing, Bit torrent downloading etc.
2. The ability to monitor the internet usage in real time.
3. The ability to easily block access to Facebook, Hotmail, P2P, Live Messenger and other non productive items.
4. The ability to monitor their Internet downloads/uploads and find out what is using all the bandwidth. For example, if their monthly downloads are abnormally high, they would like to see where the traffic is coming from and if it is web browsing, the email server, people using P2P or Bittorrents etc that is causing their downloads to be so high.
I realise that ISA server can do most of the above, but what do people recommend other than ISA? I am interested in any combination of hardware or software that would satisfy the above requirements and that is in the price range of an SMB client. I will appreciate any feedback on what people are using, even if it doesn't satify all the points I have mentioned.
Cheers,
Peter
