Great Filter, Easy Reporting
- We have been able to curb user habits through HR and through the built in quotas for certain website categories, which has led to less user surfing time.
- We have seen certain types of potentially malicious websites blocks where users have clicked on something unaware and been prevented from accessing based on certain types of protocol blocks IT put in place.
- We have also been able to monitor bandwidth usage per user and when we had spikes on our network saturation reports from our ISP, we could tell who was causing the usage issue and address it with the individual, which allowed to determine if we needed to scale up with additional bandwidth or if we just had a user(s) hogging all the bandwidth for streaming media and causing a false sense of usage for the company as a whole. This has saved us money by allowing us to maintain the right size pipes with our ISP.

Websense, solid protector and accurate reporter
- The websense filtering has helped us to reduce and eliminate productivity losses from some gaming and streaming services.
- We have been able to lower our liability from illegal streaming services and also adult content viewing (and also reduced the internet uses related to those services).
- The filtering service has helped us to prevent virus spread on the network and also helped as a layer to pinpoint affected endpoints, that had gone unnoticed by our antivirus solution. By alerting to those early infections, we can quarantine the device before the infection spreads or affects other endpoints.
- The solution has given the HR department reporting they needed when employees were under review without having to pull any local logs or have any local solutions installed.
- The hybrid client has worked well in a few remote offices, meaning we didn't need a separate proxy service to filter and protect that traffic.

WebSense Review
- I wouldn't try to justify the purchase on an ROI basis. It's a necessary product that you must have. It's the best in the business. Why not go with the best?
