ASA Webfiltering Options

[baracus11]

What web-filtering capabilities does the ASA have...is it any good? Does it need to work w/ another local server ie. Websense...or does it filter by checking an online database? Can I setup filter groups based on AD groups? Also, what are the reporting capabilities? Can I report on user usage/blocking/categories? Any other help reccomendations would be great. Thanks.
