Websense vs Baracuda web filter

Our Websense license needs to renew by the middle of this month. I have been advised to switch to a Baracuda web filter solution. The rationale is that it is both a hardware and software solution that will enhance our network performance. Other advice suggests moving the Websense to it's own server so it can function more efficiently. It currently shares an server with both the antivirus server and secondary DNS server.

The Baracuda solution is 3x the cost of the Websense renewal.

I would appreciate any insights, experiences, etc.

Thanks. Happy 4th !
