Web Proxy Reporting tools

it_consultant

Hello,

I have to come up with a solution for reporting on peoples' web activity. We currently use Palo Alto's web filtering that is bolted into the devices, but the reporting is pretty bad. We want clear and easy to understand reports. As a caveat, management does not want to replace the Palo Alto web filtering, so this has to work in addition to the PANs.

I found a product called WebSpy which takes the logs from your filter and parses them out for you. I was wondering what you'all used and what kind of luck you have had with those products.

You might look into splunk and the Pala Alto app. If you are just sending it URL Filtering, you might be able to get by with the free version.

Splunk is expensive and the free version processes too few events per day for a production Web proxy. Contact Palo Alto and find out if they are releasing a major improvement update to their reporting system sson. I can't see how PA will compete with Blue Coat, WebSense, Cisco, and Zscaler in the Web proxy market if they don't have a useful searching and reporting interface.
