Microsoft ISA Server service are:

- Firewall
- Web Proxy server
- Socks Server
- Winsock Proxy Server (with Firewall client installed)

All service are integrated with Windows domain security.

If you are interested in Winsock proxy, currently there aren't any other
option.

If you are looking for a Web proxy only, Squid is more flexible than ISA
Server and is full integrated with Windows domain security (NTLM
authentication).
