Re: Cisco IronPort

[David Hale <ddh () MTU EDU>]

  We've been running a pair of IronPorts for about 4 years now.  We've been extremely happy with both their accuracy in 
finding spam and their ease of use.  In addition I should mention that their customer support has gone above and beyond 
what I would expect the few times we have had issues.  (I actually had our IronPort SE call my cell phone early one 
morning when a compromised internal machine started sending massive amounts of outbound spam, he had already opened a 
case for us and was ready with mitigation information)

  In my opinion it's some of the best money we've ever spent.

Hello all, 



I’d like to know if any institution out there has deployed a Cisco IronPort device in their network? Just curious as to 
what you think about it? Ease of use? Reporting? Worth the money? 



Any information would be greatly appreciated. 



Feel free to reply off list. 



Thanks, 

Heather
