Would you please comment giving any/all pros and cons you've experienced with either of these two email archiving programs. I see a 2005 review of GFI mentions that clustering is not supported. Since I have no idea what they are talking about regarding clustering not being supported, any help there would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jane

Gentlemen, first let me be clear I am a Backup and Archiving Reseller in Orlando Florida, Sencilo Solutions (www.sencilo.com) and have deployed archiving products to some 150 or more sites, including the Dept of State to local Financial companies of 50 mailboxes. We represent the leading vendors in this space for the past 5 years, and we try not to push one vendor over another. So if you have specific questions I'll be happy to answer it knowing that unlike a earlier post I DO NOT work for one vendor, so my answers will be straight to the point and honest. My email is brian@sencilo.com.

So how do we compare GFI to Symantec's EV app, well it's not fair comparing the two. EV was designed for mid-sized accounts to small enterprises, up to say 2,500 mailboxes, it has features that GFI only dreams of like fuzy search, so looking for Sencil will turn up Sencilo, perfect for poor spellers like me. It has world-class support that is 24x7 and backed by the third largest software developer in the world.

GFI is better positioned with other smaller companies like Mimosa, Intradyn and a new player Barracuda (yes the SPAM guys). Gfi's is sold only on price, ease of use is limited and is there email only support via Europe.

Other questions?
