I would end up paying roughly the same amount of money for much less features. Going with them, I feel it would be like a step backward. There is now way they can match GFI's featureset. To be honest, I'm quite dissapointed so far. So far I tried these 2 cloud based solutions: It has so many features, great interface, and the level of granularity in setting rules if required. In terms of features - GFI software is absolutelly great. Other reasons would include greatly reducing traffic coming to my email server. Last but not least - I expect anti-spam product to be supported 24/7, not 24/5. Support is very uneven - sometimes I speak to excellent specialists, sometimes it's like talking to someone who doesnt have a clue. There are other issues - like ocassional situations where it's using too much of the resources. It probably has a potential to be much more effective - it's just support I'm getting is not good enough.
It took me ages to get it to the point where is usable but still too many spam is getting to my inboxes. It has a little bit less of a detection rate than I would like to have. I'm evaluating a possibility of moving from anti-spam solution installed directly on my email server to the cloud based.įirst and foremost - I have mixed experience with what I'm using now - GFI MAILESSENTIALS.
