Executive Summary

Forrester evaluated content security suite vendors, using a 41-criteria evaluation, partially based on the results of The Forrester Wave™: Email Filtering, Q2 2009 and The Forrester Wave™: Web Filtering, Q2 2009. We found that Websense alone leads the content security suite market because of its current functionality and suite-oriented product strategy. Symantec, McAfee/Secure Computing, and Trend Micro are close behind; these vendors have a clear strategy for content security suites. Cisco, Symantec/MessageLabs, and Microsoft are Strong Performers but fall short in offering broad suite functionality. Google, McAfee, and Marshal8e6 sit on the border of Strong Performer and Contender; each shines in specific areas but lacks either suite focus or comprehensive capabilities.
