What's the best Internet monitoring software?

I work for a financial organization with a little over 800 employees. We are looking for Internet monitoring software that monitors IP address, duration of surf, URL surfed, duration on site, category of site, date and time. In looking for this software, are there any other requirements that you recommend?
You could easily write a book about the sheer amount of variety of surfing tracking tools out there. Cyfin Reporter is one of the most widely used and probably one of the most comprehensive. If you are trying to do more general system monitoring and not just surf-tracking, SpectorSoft has several products, including eBlaster and Spector Pro.
