Secure Web Gateways

Folks,

We're potentially in the market for a new secure web content filter to replace our Trend Micro IWSVA virtual appliance. 
 Has anyone shopped in this market recently?  Anyone using a product they highly recommend?

Beyond the basic filtering and anti-malware features, we're looking for something with a intuitive interface, solid 
reporting, and the ability to bypass scanning/filtering per user or IP, as needed for troubleshooting.  Bi-directional 
malware filtering, DLP, SSL decryption, and application controls are all pluses, as is the ability to run in a VM.  (I 
know, we want it all...)  We have one 100Mbs link we're looking to protect.

If anyone has any recommendations, we'd greatly appreciate the input.

Thanks,

Matt Giannetto
