Subject: Firewall and Internet Reporting Software...Best One?


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?

Tony
