Would be curious why.  First guess is on the large end their stuff gets 
expensive.  It doesn't seem to scale large very well on the cost side.  We are 
facing the same issue on their web filter side.  We have their second largest 
web filter.  If we ever have to go up to the next size we will be switching, 
it's insane money. Not close yet, but we know they never use less bandwidth, 
they only use more.

Subject: [Exchange] RE: Spam solutions

I don't typically get involved in these kinds of solutions with my large 
clients (they have specific reasons for choosing specific solutions, and I am 
the AD/Exchange/Server guy); but I've had 3 larger clients drop Barracuda in 
the last year. Two went to Proofpoint and one went to Jatheon. I have no skin 
in the game, at all, but I was surprised by this.

Barracuda.  Been a very happy customer of theirs for 15 years or so. The have 
appliances of different sizes, I prefer that route, VM's or even in the cloud 
if you are into that kind of thing.

Best vendor support I have ever had.

Subject: [Exchange] Spam solutions

I have a company I do work for where I am planning a windows server  
2008r2/exchange 2013 upgrade to windows server 2016/exchange 2016 in the new 
year.
That being said, they currently use forefront for exchange and it is my 
understanding that will go away. It's also not the most inspiring product 
really...

They want a more complete spam solution than what we already use (postfix rules 
on a gateway) so I need to acquire something that I can use after the upgrade.

What are people currently recommending for 50 user sites? I am open to 
recommendations, historically I blocked spam before it hit the exchange server 
however I am open to placing that and the AV on the exchange server. The only 
nice to have is a user accessible way to un-quarantine a message on their own.

Anyone have any opinions?

Thanks!
