About GFI MailEssentials
GFI MailEssentials is a cloud-based anti-spam solution that helps small to large enterprises manage spam emails and prevent potential malware threats. It comes with an admin console, which enables users to synchronize critical data such as attachments or keywords and maintain logs of mail flow in a centralized database.
GFI MailEssentials lets businesses configure security settings to block incoming mails containing specific keywords, social security numbers or file extensions. It provides users with an administrative dashboard to view recent updates, logs or email statistics and generate reports on email interactions across the organization. Additionally, managers can utilize the exploit engine to detect malicious email-based Trojan executables and quarantine suspicious files.
GFI MailEssentials facilitates integration with third-party anti-virus engines such as Bitdefender, Avira, Sophos, Kaspersky and Cyren to detect new system threats. Pricing is available on request and support is extended via phone, email and other online measures.
