We also produce a Layer-7 filtering solution but it'll cost money also.

But I can guarantee that is less than BlueCoat

Start by forcing all your users through a proxy; enforce the use of a
proxy with firewall rules (and policy - technology can't stop
everything, but firing people will).  Then figure out what proxies are
"better".  One of my neighbors is always telling me that anything can
be accomplished with either time or money...you need to spend the
time, or the money to solve your problem.  Squid is free, but will
cost you time (and won't solve all your problems), commercial proxies
such as Bluecoat can make use of commercial blacklists (for better or
worse), but will cost you money.  I can attest first hand that
Bluecoat stops OpenVPN, BTW.
