    When our client wants to host email onsite, not in the cloud, our go-to is GFI Systems MailEssentials. You can set up allowed or blocked emails based on many parameters. The quarantine feature is easy to manage. Sometimes it "catches" too many emails. Easy to fix, though! GFI Systems LanGuard is so comprehensive that initial scans take forever to run! But it is so comprehensive that it catches *everything*! Not just viruses, and lack of updates--it catches things in the endpoint's registry. And provides the full information on the endpoint in order to identify and fix it. Thanks, guys for great products!

    We use KickServ for nearly every aspect of our operation and cannot think of a scenario when it is "inappropriate" or "less appropriate". It is the backbone of our operation and is used for everything from data gathering to estimates to invoices to payments and accounts receivables to reports to tracking to storage of photos and past invoices. Better searching abilities would be good instead of having to create tags for things we don't know we are going to need later.

    Pros
    Gfi Systems
    • Security is their main focus and they do an excellent job providing users the ability to use all tools in one product.
    • Their reports are very detailed and have the option to auto email key people with executive reports to keep track of vulnerabilities and patch status.
    • Keeping costs low, no other company could offer as much as they do for everything they offer.

    • Organization - keeps everything organized nicely and has several different filters that you can use to view only the information you need.
    • Simple website - this was important because you want it to load quickly when you are in the office and on the road.
    • Database - keeps track of the things that you enter. This is nice when trying to get information on a product or a price when requested by the customer.

    Cons
    Gfi Systems
    • GFI Systems MailEssentials would be nice to have the possibility to block emails from overseas. Make that customizable, too!
    • Have a "lite" version of GFI Systems LanGuard so we can do a quick check, if we would like to
    • How about a special "partner" phone number for support? One where a partner can access support more quickly?

    • Integration with email marketing
    • Advanced searching capabilities (i.e. If I wanted to search for every job I did that had the words "water damage" in their descriptions).
    • More ability to customize templates (like adding additional artwork, pictures)

    Usability

    It is intuitive enough, but there is some training that will be necessary because of a perceived redundancy within their workflow. It can be hard to distinguish which stage a customer is in (thus what the most important thing to be working on, if you are in sales, for instance) without some training.

    The Support zteam for GFI was with us all the way through, and I believe that they had the best support team of all the products that we use and/or tested.

    Very good technical help. The team is well-versed in their product and what to look for, particularly when interacting with other software platforms. You nearly always get a live person when you call, and if you don't, they will return your call promptly. This is another factor in my client's decision to move forward with their solution.

    Easier to use than Salesforce. More robust than Zoho. More functionality that is easier to learn than both.

    Return on Investment
    Gfi Systems
    • GFI Systems does save us a lot of time and makes it very convenient to manage clients. Remote access usually works well.
    • For our business GFI Systems is a bit expensive. The total cost is like hiring a full time employee.
    • It would be nice if the backup function was more robust and better thought out. Until then, we are seeking another service for our client's backup needs.

    • We are essentially paper free. No paper work orders.
    • We've been able to avoid a layer of middle management by supplementing this layer with technology. KickServ is a part of that layer.
    • Negatively speaking, like all technology, it has created a void of human level connection. Because we know that we can deliver work orders to our foremen remotely, we are less likely to drive up to the shop and shake a hand or see someone face to face. We had to learn that lesson the hard way, that both technology and human connection are necessary to maintain our culture.
