Review: SurfControl Web Filter

Review: SurfControl Web Filter

This venerable product is, as one would expect from one with its pedigree, fully loaded with features. As well as a full-service customizable URL filter, SurfControl contains an anti-spam agent, spyware shield, instant messaging and peer-to-peer shields, anti-virus, and games protection. The differences between this product and our Best Buys are minimal and we rate SurfControl highly recommended.

Review: Websense Security Suite - Lockdown Edition

This is a very popular product and you can see why from the moment you insert the CD, all the way through to having it completely up and ready for use. Websense is easy to use and configure. The set-up wizard has very clear steps and leaves no doubt to the installer that the program is installing correctly.

Review: Web Security Suite Lockdown Edition

Review: Web Security Suite Lockdown Edition

Part of a suite of Websense tools designed to protect your network, this is one of the more difficult products to install. A range of components need to be installed individually, so you’ll want to dedicate a fresh Windows 2000/20003 server to it. These components, such as reporting, can be installed on different PCs across the network, so it is flexible and scalable.
