Re: Symantec Mail Security for Microsoft Exchange

Wow, been I use it and I have not had a virus infect my mail system since the first Melissa virus. It's excellent and very effective. The new package also comes with a SPAM feature, but that is a separate license.

However, as is indicated by Gabe, seeing that your operation is so small, maybe you should outsource that part of your security, that would be much more cost effective.

Anyone here use Symantec Mail Security for Microsoft Exchange. I have the regular Symantec Anti-Virus running on my Exchange server which, as stated above, only protects the file system. I am looking for a program to work within Exchange to curb the amount of SPAM & Viruses that are getting through to my users desktop. Luckily, the Symantec Anti-Virus stops them there but I would like for them to be stopped before they get to the user. I got a 10 users, one year license quote for the Symantec Mail Security for Microsoft Exchange. The quote came in at $1,770.00. A little steep!!

What are your thoughts on this.

Thank you,
Marty
