    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!

    I love the equipment for small-scale commercial solutions and quality without the price tag. I might not recommend their products for a large organization with multiple locations and servers. However, the GUI interface will allow remote access and setup across the network. I think this is a great solution for small businesses and families or home office solutions, provided there is some IT knowledge for setup and maintenance.

    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.

    • Ubiquti WLAN is very easy on setup for fast deployment.
    • The monitoring software is offered at different level. Cloudkey, or just throwing up their free controller on a PC somewhere.
    • It also does a great job of publishing timely updates to firmware, and addressing bug issues.
    • The ease of the interface, without adding a bunch of fluff, makes this literally the best out there in my opinion.

    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?

    • Initial configuration of access points can be rather tricky. Each one I have installed was a complete pain to get setup and connected with the UniFi Controller software. I never worked out what causes me problems, but thankfully once I've stumbled through the correct procedure, it does work completely reliably after that, for years on end.
    • The UniFi Controller software will nag you to share usage data. When offered to opt-in, I choose not to do so, but you'll eventually be nagged again on a future login.
    • Some of the 'tooltips' within the Controller software could be more informative.

    Ubiquiti makes great Access points at various tiers provided far better coverage and throughput than consumer-grade wireless repeaters and routers. We have not had any performance complaints from guests or from the administration who use the wifi on a daily basis.

    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.

    Ubiquiti support is minimal, which is said to help decrease the cost of the equipment. However, with many reports of emails going directly to the Ubiquiti support line taking days to hear a response, you're better off either engaging with the community forums for help from fellow UniFi users or reaching out to a reseller that has training on the equipment that can assist.

    Ubiquiti is overall easier to work with. There is no special training needed to accomplish many of the things required with a Cisco product. Since my time is stretched thin, I need something that I can manage without being weighed down by command-line communications. Also, I am able to use my wireless devices to maintain every Ubiquiti device on my network.

    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.

    • Can't say it enough, prices are awesome, so ROI is very high IMHO.
    • Remote cloud management allows me to service more clients at greater distances.
    • Project estimates become much more attractive when you can show the savings vs more expensive solutions.
