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.

Two went to Proofpoint and one went to Jatheon. I have no skin in the game, at all, but I was surprised by this.

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.

Casale Sent: Thursday, October 6, 2016 4:17 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> 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! jlc
