    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!

    Mhelpdesk is perfect for smaller companies and mid-sized companies I would say. Larger companies may need something a little more advanced for lack of better words or able to handle thousands upon thousands of constant work orders, etc. Smaller companies or companies that are mid-size would benefit from this program the most as it provides the necessary programming to succeed along with its ease of use.

    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.

    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?

    Mhelpdesk
    • mHelpDesk lacks in its expansion ability of multiple administrator types. We have executive level, midlevel, and department level administrators in addition to the tech, managers, etc. working directly with the system. It seems we are always about one admin level shy of what we need and are unable to create it.
    • mHelpDesk sometimes has difficulty with its mobile tracking either being accurate as seen by the administrators or in locking up the mobile devices of the techs. It is not a constant issue yet one which occurs often enough to be of note.
    • mHelpDesk doesn't track automatically so our mobile techs can shut that off. While that may be a disciplinary operational issue for us as well, we should be able to lock that setting "on" so our users are tracked which using the app.

    When we first started using Mhelpdesk, RepairShopr was just a blip on our radar and didn't have the feature-set that Mhelpdesk did. RepairShopr looked great, but the Mhelpdesk had a lot more features. Every 6 months or so, I'd check on RepairShopr and it was growing fast and adding new features all the time. After a few years - the difference was night and day so we switched to RepairShopr and it's been a much better fit for our business.

    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.
