Intradyn vs. Smarsh

Intradyn works well for a small to medium business like ours that just needs to keep an archive of every email sent or received throughout our organization. It's easy to search for emails, whether you're looking for keywords, sender, recipient, subject, body, header, etc. The Outlook plugin works well for end users.

This appliance is well suited for organizations that have a need to monitor, moderate, or log social networking site use or the use of any website. It is a very solid tool for any information security department to have at their disposal.

• Discovery: It allows for easy discoveries by the compliance and cyber security departments.
• Ethical walls: This keeps certain departments from talking to each other.
• Very granular control. This is a big product meaning you can get very detailed with it.
• Once it's configured and running, we hardly ever have any issues.

• Outlook plugin is great, but I wish it could somehow update user passwords when users change them via Active Directory. In our environment, users have to change their AD passwords every 45 days, but the Outlook plugin doesn't capture the change, so the next time the user tries to search the archive via the plugin, the plugin doesn't work. Since our users aren't accessing the archive that often, they easily forget that they've changed their password since they last accessed the archive and need support.

• Its configuration options were very large and required a good deal of time to learn all of the various settings.

It's the only product at this time that meets all of our requirements.

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.
