All

We currently run Exchange 2007 with GFI Mail Essentials. Our licensing is due to end soon for this product and we are looking at suitable alternatives.

What are you all using and what would you recommend?

Regards

To the OP what has GFI Mail Essentials been like for you cons/pros wise? I was looking at it a while back, but never got around to trying it. I've used the GFI Vipre AV and found it to be satisfactory enough at keeping malware out of a clean system, but absolutely awful at cleansing systems post infection, in fact i've lost a mail store due to it's 'remedial' actions in the past and i've never forgiven it since, so i'm little dubious as to GFI products to be honest.

Hi pjansell

GFI has been generally reliable to be honest. We've had a couple of instances where we'd run out of disc space and it appeared to lose a load of emails which we could never recover. This has kind of made us lose our faith in the product. But to be fair, when it was set up (not by me!), it was set to email of low disc space notifications to an unmonitored address which really didn't help matters! Had we'd have seen the email alerts it would have been just fine I'm sure.
