Tim,

Have you checked out the new ASA box (Cisco ASA 5500 Series Content Security
and Control Security Services Module )?

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6120/products_data_sheet0900aecd80402e4f.html

It does URL filtering and a lot more.

To answer your question, yes, I've seen a lot more installs with Websense
then I have with N2H2. I've personally installed Websense three times from
scratch and it was a piece of cake. If you're looking at selling a content
filter, however, sell the ASA5500...Im sure you're local CAM will love ya.
:)

thanks,

Hi guys,

I'm looking for opinions on which of the above content filters is better.

I know that both are supported by Cisco PIX firewalls but I don't have first
hand experience with either of them.

If the answers is, "It depends.", can you provide some high level criteria
to based a decision on?

Over the years, I've gotten the gut impression that Websense is the more
popular of the two but that might have more to do with my limited exposure.

TIA, Tim
