iBoss handles all this very well. You can configure per-user, per-device, or a combination. And reporting options are numerous.

Our firewall doesn't do any kind of web filtering. Good reporting must be an essential part of the product. I just got a request from a supervisor asking for a web usage report on all the people in Admitting and MI. Trying to glean that info from syslogs would be a nightmare. I've tried it before on a smaller scale and it was quite time consuming. The ability to customize for either user or machine, too. For example, we have a training room set up where people can go and do personal stuff like FB or ebay. So, being able to set a policy so training room pc's can get to those sites but block MI or MM pc's is also a requirement. ________________________________ From: paul.hutchi...@mira.co.uk<mailto:paul.hutchi...@mira.co.uk> To: ntsysadmin@lyris.sunbelt-software.com<mailto:ntsysadmin@lyris.sunbelt-software.com> Subject: RE: web filtering Date: Tue, 8 Nov 2011 17:48:53 +0000 Our firewall has URL filtering which is provided by Brightcloud. Seems pretty effective. You've not mentioned user count or what your current firewall is, or what you're really trying to do (do you want lot of nice reports on normal activity or do you just want to block "bad stuff"?). FWIW you could use a DNS service like DYN and you'd get Barracuda's web filtering, so you have a ton of options from cheap to very expensive.
