Reviews of GFI MailEssentials
An OK spam solution
Pros:
Administration is easier then on some of the other spam solution products I've used. Also one of the cheaper spam solutions.
Cons:
The filters are sub par at filtering. Even after verifying hardened settings. Too much spam still gets through.
Great Email security product
Comments: We used GFI MailEssentials to fight SPAM and Email viruses, it served us well for several years and its highly recommended for SMBs
Pros:
The software is easy to implement, friendly interface, lots of useful functions and customizations.
Cons:
nothing in particular. we didn't face any problems with our setup and the regular updates had been converging most issues.
Anti Spam / Email security is lack luster
Pros:
GFI Mailessentials was very cheap compared to other solutions.
Cons:
The protection it covers when compared to the current threats in the market
Set it and Forget it AntiSPAM product that we use for most of our non-Office365 Clients
Pros:
The Installation is fairly quick and easy. GFI has a host of add-ons so it makes it easier to piece-meal the products you want to add to your deployment. Love the end-user SPAM/Quarantine Access. The Daily Digest feature is excellent, clients like the reports they get daily.
Cons:
Can get cumbersome if you start going into the minutiae. The Licensing part I'm not very fond of, if you go over the quantity the software simply stops working after a week or so of grace-period. I would prefer if they sent email reminders when License renewal is closer. Customer Service is hard to get a hold of.
System administrator
Pros:
It's very easy to install system. Mostly the default configuration works out of the box without any problems.
Cons:
The system is somewhat easy to use. They have a lot of limitations when you try to do advanced configuration load or reset spam lists.
