They meet all of your requirements, do an excellent job, and is an off-site solution so one less point of failure on 
your network.

We are currently looking to replace our email spam/virus filter and would like to hear what systems other people are 
using. After initial investigation the price range for appliances and managed services varies greatly so it is hard to 
determine what
you are getting for your money. We have around 500 desktops on campus.

One of the important factors (apart from stopping the spam and viruses) is to be able to get decent reporting 
information such as the number and name of quarantined viruses on a monthly basis. I have found that most 
manufacturers do not have a lot of
information about what reports are available.

Feel free to email me directly if you don’t want to inundate the list.

Any recommendations, good or bad experiences greatly appreciated.
