MXGuardian cannot be beat for the features at the price point, a fantastic product.

Fantastic, i've had to reach out to support a few times over the years, and they have been great, and it's usually something i've done or not done that has been the issue. You just set it up, and it just works. i don't think any product out there could filter all SPAM, but MXGuardian does a pretty great job.

PROS

So easy to setup, so easy to use, from an admin point of view and user point of view, i cannot recommend it enough. the billing is super simple. the support is excellent.

CONS

nothing at all, it ticks all my requirements.

Reason for choosing MXGuardian

I've been using mxguardian for over 5 years and because from what i remember, the simplistic but very effective features just cannot be beat for the price.

Reasons for switching to MXGuardian

i found that the in-house mcafee solution was just getting too difficult to mange and maintain for exchange 2010 at the time, and when we swapped to Microsoft 365, it was as simple as just changing the IP address.

MXGuardian nearly unbeatable as a standalone E-mail filter.

All in all this is a good product and not over complicated or cluttered, does what it should as it should.

PROS

The ease in adding to allowed or blocked lists, the ability to see reports of blocked items 2 times daily. The ease of releasing false positives. The 30 day archive is a great feature. The ability to set settings strict or be able to loosen the restrictions.

CONS

As of now meets all our needs, maybe a weekly summary report of all sub accounts, that details any changes amount filtered etc.

Reason for choosing MXGuardian

Ease of setup, ease of use, price for feature. MXGuardian just works and is not full of crap you will never use. It filters spam and viruses very well. And has a easy release function instead of a Global block list you can't get the sender off of. ALL SPAM FILTERS should allow you to release legit mail that is clean of viruses. MX allows you to do just that. Great product.

Reasons for switching to MXGuardian

Onlymyemail had a huge outage and no support, just stopped working one day and then they disappeared. We had already made the move before they even fixed the outage.

The product is right on point.

Overall the best value I've found for what I needed. I searched for weeks before I found this and have been nothing less than happy with the decision. My customers are protected and have the same features as the higher priced alternative I was using.

PROS

Inexpensive so I could replace a previous product that constantly raised their prices each year. Selecting the features I needed were available so I didn't have to pay for features I would not be using. Easy to understand from both the end user and the administrator points of view. Equally effective and adjustable like the previous high priced product I was using.

CONS

Some of the administration fields could use better or more explanation. Maybe some inline tooltips on some of the form fields.

Reason for choosing MXGuardian

Price, features, ease of use.

Reasons for switching to MXGuardian

Barracuda too expensive. Raised prices every year for features I did not need and were not able to exclude from pricing.

In a world of chat bots - there is a real solution

I've needed support a few times - and it's always a person that listens and tries to figure out a solutions - not read a script. When a support agent is reading a script - they are impersonating a bot - that is NOT what happens here.

PROS

Anti-spam and anti-virus that is quick, easy and intuitive. The ease of use and implementation is the best. My customers are not tech savvy, but I get very few calls on how to setup and use the product.

CONS

Outbound filtering is not included, but that keeps the inbound price very reasonable.

Vendor Response

Hi Tony, Thanks for the great review. Just so you know, we do offer outbound filtering. Email us at support@mxguardian.net and we'll help you set it up.

Simple, easy to use and very reasonably priced

Simple and reliable mail filtering with no fuss. Marvellous!

PROS

A move from the Google Postini service was required after Google over complicated the product. MXGuardian does the job simply, reliably and is very easy to configure and use on a day to day basis - plus it's considerably cheaper than many inferior alternatives (including Google).

CONS

I'd like the ability to be able to simply use MXGuardian as an outbound smarthost which would allow MXGuardian to learn addresses that our organisation sends to (as they're likely to be 'good' senders of return traffic).

Reasons for switching to MXGuardian

The previous product was no longer fir for purpose.

Vendor Response

Hi Jon, Thanks for the great review. Just so you know, we do offer an outbound relay service. Just email support@mxguardian.net and we'll help you set it up.
