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!

PRO: all companies that need an antispam, antivirus. It should not be activated if it is not possible to deactivate the anti-spam provided by the provider.
you have to check the in/out of the mail a few days to verify false positives and manage the rules.
CONS: It is too expensive for small companies, it's better to use services offered by the mail provider.

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?

The product really does everything it can and offers it very simply. In other words, after using it for many years like us, it feels as if the email system could not exist without Trend Micro Email Security. Using email in a corporate structure without this or any other product is the job of brave people.

Overall, Trend Micro Email Security does what is designed to do, however, it can be a bit frustrating tweaking the policies to get them just right due to the vagueness of some of the levels of protection available for some of the features (e.g., scales that range from "Low" to "Highest")

As a reseller, it can be difficult to locate the appropriate support number to call, however, once a case has been opened for a support request, it is generally resolved fairly quickly.

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.

  • You don't have to check all PCs when a user clicks on a fake link because the email is delete before.
  • eliminate spam and ads
