Pros	Intermedia Excellent support Great performance Incentivized John Rivers Owner, IT Consultant Read full review	Smarsh Discovery: It allows for easy discoveries by the compliance and cyber security departments.

Alternatives Considered	Intermedia Intermedia Email Plus support is better, costs are comparable or better, and backups are better than the alternatives. Incentivized John Rivers Owner, IT Consultant Read full review	Smarsh This was the only appliance of its kind that I have used. Other devices have different capabilities for web filtering such as the checkpoint firewalls, but none of them offered the overall solution that was deployed with this product at that time.
