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!
On my daily tasks, it helps me to track every order and provide us with detailed information, logging times, [and] user's interactions. Not only [being] able to track but to build and receive orders thru its transmission system is good because it is integrated with a huge amount of companies world wide, reducing the effort and costs in contracting several apps to do just one thing.
Dispatching management- with all its features we can be sure that McLeod will cover all the possible needs when dispatching a load.
Billing and documentation- its platform also provides several ways to gather all our documentation and keep them recorded.
GPS tracking- its implementation on GPS is beyond of our expectations. It works perfectly with the most known GPS apps such Macropoint, Keeptruckin, LoadTrack and more.
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.
McLeod has several implementations and is always looking for new ways to get up-to-date. Also, it is stable which is a nice thing when you are a big company handling thousands and thousands of loads every day. We are not only building loads but selling, tracking, dispatching, billing them, and all is being done in the same app.
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.
Looks a bit old- we are in a new age of apps with fresh looks and responsive designs, however, this does not impact our business but we think that using a new face will help with the training curve.
It might delay the operation a bit because we need to access different menu items to get to one specific point.
A positive thing would be that with all the amount of features it has. McLeod is always trying keep the platform stable, and we know it is not easy to maintain a software like that.
