    Intermedia
    This is the perfect solution for businesses that want a scalable solution with a fixed cost per user. Intermedia is amazing with no contracts.

    SonicWall
    While this solution is capable of managing a smaller environment, I'm weary to install it into a larger customers' environment. This solution does a decent job of basic email security and centrally managed controls. Hardware upgrade options seem limited though if adding a lot more email boxes. Retention options are limited compared to other products.

    • Manufacturer is focused on several solutions (so likely not enough focus in one area)

    I love the usability of Intermedia Email Plus. The only downfall isn't their fault. The issue with Office 365 registry settings requires changes to connect to Intermedia Email Plus flawlessly.

    Intermedia Email Plus support is better, costs are comparable or better, and backups are better than the alternatives.

    We switched from Watchguard to SonicWALL because of the ease of use and everything was located in one place. At the time Watchguard was changing to force you to use a server to manage your VPNs, and we didn't see a reason to have to manage another product when it should have been able to do everything itself. SonicWALL met and exceeded our expectations.
