Websense Express 1 review

Not only is WSX extremely accurate with its website categorisation, but it impresses with its web-based reporting facilities. Websense Explorer provides a wealth of information that can be accessed just by selecting one of the graphs on the homepage. Reports can be scheduled to run regularly and the output emailed or exported as PDFs or spreadsheets. Individual users won't be able to hide from WSX, as its web usage reports provide a complete rundown on every website they've visited. Each page is represented by an icon, which shows its classification and contains a hot-link.

Compared with other web-content filtering solutions at this price, Websense Express is offering a lot for your money. It's easy to install and uses one the biggest category databases around, and the policy-based security makes AUP enforcement a cinch.
