Integrity has some well-thought-out integration capabilities. It is the only product that can pull user and group information from a RADIUS server. It also can check virus-definition files from McAfee, Symantec and Trend Micro virus scanners. Zone Labs is the only vendor in this review that supports Symantec as a third party.
Integrity's reporting capabilities need improvement. The reports are both uninformative and confusing. For example, when FireHole triggered a program violation in iexplore.exe, Integrity notified us about the violation but failed to mention FireHole. Such a lapse makes it much harder for an administrator to discover the problem's cause.
Zone Labs Integrity 2.0, starts at $65 for an end-user license (server license included). Zone Labs, (877) 876-4960, (415) 341-8200. www.zonelabs.com

Nevertheless, a shortage of integration and antivirus-detection capabilities brought this product's score down.
