    Monitoring which sites a user visits. We work with ISA server and active directory.

    The question is which soft is good for this. GFI Webmonitor looks good on the outside, but the reports it generates do not include the most important for me: which sites a given user of Active Directory visits on a given day (much better if it includes the time they visited them).
