Paired with OpenDNS as a backup / double layer protection.

I have to say it works great. Have it integrated with LDAP so we can give different departments various levels of Internet Access.

I used Websense at my last job and loved it. I'd take Websense back any day, but this is in place and working well for much less cost.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-whats-your-traffic-policies-23334338 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 23:02:14 EDT Re: whats your traffic policies http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-whats-your-traffic-policies-23334196 said by Nightfall:

i agree.

i should have mentioned that for me, i have multiple networks.

right now, each network has its own 3,000 dollar firewall with web filtering as an added 600 dollar package.

if i went with open DNS enterprise, i would pay 1 fee of 2 or 3 thousand but they told me i could add as many networks as i wanted.

right off the bat, i would be saving if i switched.
There really is no comparison, you are right on that.

Websense is excellent if you want top notch filtering that is updated frequently. OpenDNS has a good product, but not $2000 good thats for sure. Especially $2000 per year. If OpenDNS wants to compete with Websense, some things have to happen.

I want to see their category filtering be MUCH better than it is now. The nudity/porn site filter only catches about 30% of the sites out there. If I can defeat it within 3 minutes, whats the point?

Malware category filtering is a good addon, but I bet there same lack of filtering issues are going to hit with that too.

Lastly, you are at the mercy of thousands of users who report a site which has its good and bad points.

OpenDNS would be much better off charging say $500 per year for the filtering of enterprise edition. Its just too expensive at 2k.
i agree 100%

with that being said, it is the best free solution out there for sure.

of course, there are more reasons that i pay to have sonicwall firewalls.

i don't want to get into that by thread jacking.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-whats-your-traffic-policies-23334196 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 22:28:16 EDT Re: whats your traffic policies http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-whats-your-traffic-policies-23334166 said by tomdlgns:

We just block the traffic except for whats needed. The workstations are locked down as well to prevent people from installing software that isn't legit. That covers us very well.

We also use OpenDNS for category filtering too. Not the best, but its free and its a small enough company where we can manage with it.
have you seen the new openDNS enterprise and deluxe packages?

costs a little money, but i think it is worth it.
Meh....it might.

I would like to evaluate a package first before I did it. The category blocking is not as robust as if you had a websense. I think thats the only catching point. If we are going to be spending $2000 a year, then we better get good filtering. I can spend $4000 on the hardware and then spend $600 on maintenance per year on a Websense and have much much better performance.
