"Fantastic Mail Server"
5/5
What do you like best about MDaemon Email Server?

I love how easy MDaemon makes it to access every nook and cranny of the mail server, its settings, its logs and its queues. Exchange drives me nuts trying to figure out what's where. With MDaemon, I feel like *I* am in control, not the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MDaemon Email Server?

Sometimes I struggle with issues with MDaemon's antivirus software, and there are a few additions I would like to see with the content filter rules, but it's hard for me to find much to criticize. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kevin Beatty M.S., IMC of MDaemon Email Server

Thank you for the comments, David. From the beginning, we wanted to offer an email server with the functionality of Microsoft Exchange but without the complexities and time to run it. With feedback from you and other IT Pros like you, we'll continue to do everything we can to add value and earn your business.

4.5/5
What do you like best about MDaemon Email Server?

The server is easy to get an overview of what is going on. It has a lot of features

and have been on the forefront implementing and writing standards for security features.

Also that it supports both database but also file based mail storage is also appreciated

making it easier for smaller server installations with backup and restore.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MDaemon Email Server?

Have from time to time experienced some problem with CFilter.exe crashes and mail ending

up in Holding Queue. Also the WorldClient could possible need some additional themes

for the users to choose from.

There is also one more thing I feel that AltN is starting to lag behind.

In the past, with Alt-N with Arvel at the edge, i felt that you where at the forefront

regarding security features being involved in inventing and setting new standards but

now feel that you have started to lag behind and is not as diverse and hungry but rather

just sit back and relaxing. Please rewind the clock 5 years and be a bit more

entrepreneur:ish and less "Fortune 500":ish :-)

I feel that it started to go downhill in the timefram when you went in bed with Blackberry/BES

and has not really recovered since then. Don't get me wrong, I still like MD and recommend

it but I would like for you to get back to your roots and make it fun again to install

new versions of MD. :-) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Emma Washington of MDaemon Email Server

Thank you so much for your feedback. Good news, Arvel is still at the helm, we just can't seem to get him to retire :) We will continue to work towards being cutting edge with our security updates.

"MDaemon - keeps on ticking, year after year"
5/5
What do you like best about MDaemon Email Server?

MDaemon is feature rich, but its best quality is it dependability, Nothing makes the phone ring faster than a down mail server! A customer could go weeks without knowing their website is acting up, but if mail stops flowing, they let you know within minutes. The good news is that with MDaemon, the mail services just keep on ticking, without any interruptions, year after year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MDaemon Email Server?

I wish the upgrades/renewals could be done within the software (instead you have to use their website), and getting to an account to edit is a little clumsy. (for example, you go one place to edit an account but another to delete it). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Emma Washington of MDaemon Email Server

Thanks so much for your kind words Mike, as well as your constructive criticism. We'll continue working on those flaws to make each version better than the last.

"Alt-N MDaemon Best Email Product"
5/5
What do you like best about MDaemon Email Server?

I have been a customer since 2003 (that is over 16 years of continuous use) - that speaks a volume in today's world where companies come and go. MDaemon has stood the test of time!

Over the years I have come across many email server products. If you are looking for a email messaging system then MDaemon is designed for you. As a small to medium sized business we needed a work horse to work day in and day out. Easy to setup, manage and seamless upgrade. The customer service responsive and they take customer feedback seriously.

The anti-spam and anti-virus features are outstanding. I was able to cut down anti-spam by 98%. The outbreak feature compliments the anti-spam and works like charm. In addition, the product has wonderful capability to delegate sub-admin to a domain allowing the domain user management to be distributed. In addition, the web access to email has been fantastic - whether you are in the office or on the road just point to the web access interface and voila you have access to email. The product has strong email management capabilities where you can on a domain by domain basis create email retention requirements. Keep email forever or delete email after 180 days.

I would strongly recommend this product if you have 1 or many domains that you need to manage. Recently, the addition of Let's Encrypt integration has allowed the usage of public grade certificates to secure email server access via the browser.

I think the separation from Blackberry was great - this allowed the development team to start focusing on the MDaemon product vs. trying to integrate with Blackberry.

I have never been disappointed with this product and would highly recommend it to other SMB or even enterprises where they are looking for a feature rich and robust platform. The product is in active development and they continually release updates, features and bug fixes.

The upgrade process is also very simple, just go to Help and click on check for updates and within minutes the product is updated. No long downtime scheduling required.

Keep up the good work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MDaemon Email Server?

While I do not have any dislikes - I would like to have more advanced and robust virtual hosting/domain management capabilities. The existing capabilities will work for 90% of the customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Emma Washington of MDaemon Email Server

Wow, thank you for your glowing review Mahmood! We're so glad MDaemon continues to work so well for you guys!

"We've been using MDaemon for 7 years."
4.5/5
What do you like best about MDaemon Email Server?

I would say the most helpful thing has been the cost. We turned to MDaemon when noticing the cost of the Microsoft Exchange Server. We run a busy law firm and this product fits the bill perfectly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MDaemon Email Server?

It's really hard to answer this because it's been 20 years since I've used anything comparable. I dislike when Outlook slows down (which currently happens weekly), however we have a HUGE data store, and that might be what's contributing to the slow down. There's really not much to dislike about this product, which is why we've been using it for 7 years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kevin Beatty M.S., IMC of MDaemon Email Server

Thank you for the review, Laura. We have some guides on making sure Outlook settings are optimized and we'll reach out to you directly. But you are correct, large mailbox sizes are the #1 contributor to performance, which is why we also recommend a solid archiving practice.

"Reliable / easy to manage / flexible"
5/5
What do you like best about MDaemon Email Server?

We use Mdaemon now sind nearly 15years, it is a reliable and secure way of exchanging information. In normal business you can call it a "fire and forget" software. It causes very less work and money for running the server and it´s kept up-to-date very fast by providing patches on short time if needed.

We use it with the famous Outlook-connector, enjoying a huge amount of workablilty and avoiding more expensive Microsoft Exchange-Products.

There might be cheaper solutions - but we could not afford the risk to renounce "our" Mdaemon.

It also protects our company against threats like Malware or other attacks from outside using the sophisticated security functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MDaemon Email Server?

That the active-sync function is not integrated into the MdaemonPro, so we have to buy this as upgrade. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Emma Washington of MDaemon Email Server

Roland, thanks so much for your feedback! We're so thankful that you continue to work with us year after year.

"Dependable for over a decade..."

What do you like best about MDaemon Email Server?

Our medical organization of over 100 physicians utilizes Exchange with Mdaemon as our first line of defense as our Gateway. We rely on it's ability to "scrub" incoming email for SPAM, Viruses and other threats before it ever reaches our internal servers and users. We also love the ability to create custom Content filers, Whitelist partner domains and IP's, along with easily searchable logs when a question arises. We have been using Mdaemon since the early 2000's and they continue to grow, improve, and innovate. Two thumbs up!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MDaemon Email Server?

We have honestly not found a downside, based on our application of the product. Updates come frequently and I've never had an update "break" anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Emma Washington of MDaemon Email Server

You're the man, Bob :) So glad that MDaemon is the right fit for your organization!
