I personally would not buy something like what cymphonix sells.
1) I just don't really like appliances. More rack space, and I could probably consolidate with another server. 2U for this thing? What in the world is in it to make it a 2U server? Make a blade or something that can fit in my Dell 1855 Blade Chassis and we'll talk.
2) I haven't ever heard of the company nor have I seen reviews of the company and products. I'm looking for a filtering solution currently, and so far I'm looking at Websense and Blue Coat. The only thing about Blue Coat is that it is yes, an appliance.
I like how on the FAQ of the website, it says, "If you are using a Cisco PIX firewall, we recommend the use of a cross-over cable between Network Composer and the firewall." -- Yeah, because it really won't work otherwise.
I'm not bashing the product by any means, I just don't know anything about it. I'm not going to use it for the company I work for unless I see good reviews against how it stacks up to Blue Coat and Websense. I might actually request an eval. unit as well. But, if I were to buy one, I need to buy another rack as well and I'm not looking to do that.
