Our 8e6 is only doing web filtering. I think we got it before they merged. Either way, I think ours is before they merged and only filters for content or it is correctly implemented (or both).

We SPAN our internet feed to the 8e6 and it will filter via TCP resets. The security team is getting ready to deploy a remote filter so that company laptops can't surf porn no matter where you are. I actually don't care if the porn is filtered. My problem is that the folks deploying the solution aren't smart enough to really know what they are doing.

The Akonix seems to be a decent product. My manager tried to get us/me to manage it, but I've convinced him to let them have it. We have enough to do with the rest of the network.
