Folks, I am conducting research on finding a package that will create (1) management/performance reports from our Checkpoint firewall logs and (2) create reports on employee internet usage.
We currently use WebSense to keep employees from going to porno and gambling sites but found it will not work for our reporting needs (ie it uses a MS SQL data base and we are a Oracle shop). So currently, I am not saving any log information. However, getting a lot of pressure from Management...they want know what employees are doing on the internet, time spent, bandwidth, etc. I am also the firewall administrator. I need a product that will quickly go through the mountains of firewall log activity that is generated daily. I want to perform management, performance and health checks on the firewalls but the log reporting that comes with Check Point is so slow and primitive. I would like to find one product that can give me a wide variety of reports/graphs on firewall performance and employee internet activity. I have briefly looked at WebTrends, SurfControl, CyberPatrol...not sure if they fit the bill. Any recommendations?
