Phoenix Consulting & Technology
I just found the GFI WebMonitor for ISA 2000/2004 and it is the greatest thing since sliced bread! You guys have solved some headaches over spending time running ISA reports to isolate "bandwidth hogs". I installed Version 2 on a client's network and he is already having fun telling users to shut off the streaming Internet radio stations! While searching the Forum for a solution to a problem - which turned out not to be a problem - I found the link to GFI WebMonitor Version 3 and installed the beta version. It looks good. More great work, guys.

I have been using GFI WebMonitor for ISA Server since your initial versions but indeed, what I want to say is that you have done a very good job in making such excellent software. I appreciate your effort, the latest version of your software deserves five stars. The antivirus, the Star Rating, the URL, User History have helped to solve many of the problems arising on my network. I would like to say a bundle of thanks to you and wish you best of luck for the future releases of your software. Keep it up!

Notre Dame Regional Secondary School
I use GFI WebMonitor in a school network environment. Our servers handle internal Internet traffic for our students and staff, but they also handle about two dozen websites. The product lets me get a quick snapshot of Internet traffic on those servers. As far as I know, short of going into the ISA Server traffic logs themselves, there's no other way to get such a snapshot in what's essentially real-time.

Independent Software, Inc.
Plain and simple, the GFI MailEssentials, GFI MailSecurity, and GFI WebMonitor for ISA Server combination provided both the front and back door security our small business needed; and they provided it within a small business budget. Through the use of GFI's products, we have all but eradicated SPAM and viruses flowing into our mail servers. Where we once received a daily intake of 3,000+ SPAM messages, we occasionally see one or two messages now. Running a small business requires you to wear a lot of hats. GFI made it possible for me to wear one less hat and concentrate on what I do best, and that is running my business."
