I guess its not exactly an alternative, but we recently
enabled the Web Reputation feature on Trendmicro's Officescan.
(When it came out a few years ago we tried it but left it off after too
 many false positives. Recently assured that it was improved we tried it again.)

I'm quite happy with it, no false positives and it helped identify a number of
machines that had malware on board, when the logs showe regular attempts
to connect to malicious web site(s).
