We want a Directory Agent that we could install on our Domain PC's and MAC's that will notify the "in-line or bridged mode" WS1100 of who's logged in regardless of what browser they are using. This is highly needed because of all the types of browsers now on the market, NTLM does not play nice with all of them. Consequently, IE is the only one that pushes settings via GPO. Rather then using that, we'd much rather just have an agent that we can install on the machines.

For any device not running the agent, have a web authentication popup box.

Currently this configuration is available by your competitor Cymphonix on their Network Composer and is still our active web filter. We really really want to use the Sophos Appliance instead but until you guys can give us what we need, the device is sitting on the shelf unused for 3 years now. Cannot use it because it cannot give us everything we need.

eature Request Summary – user/device throttling / prioritization allowing admins to set up polices on a per computer (hostname, MAC or IP) AD user/group basis to restrict download speeds to conserve bandwidth.

How will this new feature address your business requirements? – More users are using MORE bandwidth. Example: If there’s a class researching a topic on youtube and a study hall playing games, I would like to easily place a throttle on the gamers that gives the youtube users more priority. Example 2: user brings a MACbook from home and it starts downloading all kinds of updates over the WAN I would like to be able to cap that bandwidth at X kbps for that site or that user for X amount of time.

Feature Request Summary Ability to display a coaching page advising of potential risks of data leakage when using web-based e-mail accounts allowing the user to proceed at their own discretion without any further coaching pages preventing content from being displayed. Alternatively, if the Global Policy, Data Leakage Prevention, Webmail Control policy could be made more granular this would probably meet our needs.

How will this new feature address your business requirements? We have an information governance requirement to prevent identifiable data from leaving the NHS Trust without encryption. Such features would allow us to properly warn users of the potential risks of using web-based e-mail accounts except where there were known managed exceptions.

Client is requesting an additional feature in Dashboard showing the top sites visited for the past hour including the number of visitors and hit counts.

One of the items that I struggle with is keeping informed of the demand that is placed on our Internet appliance. I would dearly love to have a dashboard component that would show me the top 5 or 10 web sites that are being visited for the last 30 or 60 minutes, including how many employees have visited the site or the number of hits on that site.

This would help my team be more proactive and respond quicker to potential peaks in demand.
