    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!

    In situation such as optimum shipping point given the network complexity, it suggests the best lane to select for the load to transport and its mode, the scope of the less appropriate is visualization with better 3D load plan images to improve user experience to plan with load routes with efficacy

    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?

    • Planning and execution area for carriers is not covered fully. It has scenarious covered, but its mainly manual and not suited for high volumes and loads
    • Intermodal transportation management - absent or inefficient
    • Trailer swap functionality is like 10 steps process, which is highly manually consuming and is not efficient for company operating >5000 trucks and trailers

    SAP TM delivers strong value in planning, cost control, and system integration. While complex and sometimes heavy to maintain, its long-term benefits and alignment with SAP’s digital logistics roadmap make renewal very likely.

    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.

    • Enables movement of code changes through the landscape seamlessly
    • We have a busy shop and it doesn't matter if a project with 1000+ changes or 100 changes, the system handles it very well. The business is happy that we can move all these changes at one go
    • One feature would be to identify if the changes are to some core objects in the system then take an automatic backup or at least give that option.
