    IT works very well in the non-profit and small business space when there is a need for remote access or connecting several sites in a point to point VPN, user management and rule creation are very easy. The use of the MyKerio website for remote management also makes it easy to troubleshoot problems and make changes if technical staff are not onsite.

    I feel trade shows and conferences are perfect for this solution. Having this just to decorate your office is obviously a benefit as well. However, I believe the greatest value in this tool is using it for client/prospect meetings/events. I feel we can really garner their attention with subliminal messaging and showing value propositions that would be specific to that group or person.

    Very easy to use and manage, user training takes less then 10 minutes. Technicians can perform basic tasks with less then an hour of training and can master it in under a year.

    It is easy to enroll displays into your account. After that, all of your content is centrally managed in a browser. Unlike some other services on the market, you don't need to deploy any servers or services on your local network. If you are using the Amazon Firestick implementation option, it automatically boots into that even after power-loss, meaning there's little to worry about once it has been set up, and could be managed from anywhere.

    Support Rating
    GFI Software
    Support is very slow to respond and it takes a long time to convince level 1 techs that you need to be moved up to someone more senior. I believe support is outsourced and they are graded on how few tickets they need to escalate to higher tiers so they will try to figure out a solution even if it is detrimental to the overall support experience.

    We found Kerio Control to provide the most features and easiest management of all the solutions we looked at, while cost was not the lowest the value was by far the best when you considered all the factors, costs, and manhours involved in deployment and management.

    The free version of PosterBooking was more than enough for our organization. Other software looked at we would have needed to pay for.

    Return on Investment
    GFI Software
    • Easy to use makes it easy to train, reducing employee time and IT staff costs.
    • Statefull inspection and web filtering greatly reduce malware incursions.
    • Fact it can run on standard PC hardware greatly reduces cost to implement and makes scaling much less expensive.

    • We really did not get the ROI that we COULD have in my opinion. - Didn't use it optimally
    • The technical issues really made us wary of even using it sometimes.
    • I feel this organization has great potential in this product. Just needs to be finetuned,
