Security Gateway Reviews & Product Details

In our company we can stay more calm because we implement its security measures that are highly reliable and capable of protecting all our emails, blocking threats in a detailed way, managing to eliminate the maximum possible amount, among these are viruses, spam, phishing, rasomware that are the ones that most try to filter in our system. We implement this solution as the main source of threat detection to nourish ourselves with its tools and improve our workflow thanks to its rapid analysis of emails.

It is an application that in terms of function and efficiency has no problems, however, visually it is not a powerhouse on the market. Certainly this type of software is more sought after due to the powerful of its tools and the quality of results, but there are companies that also want to implement innovative platforms in all aspects, but it is not a feature of great relevance for us, and therefore we can navigate in it in search of its great management results.

I like the fact that you can give domain admins access to their specific domains, global or domain specific functions, and that there are a lot of options for fine tuning. It works well for spam filtering.

Since I wrote this, MDaemon has updated their product to include high availability and thus I've moved that from the "dislike" to the "like" category. Thanks guys for listening to your feedback and creating features that we are looking for! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They need to work with interfacing with 3rd party antiviruses and separate command line functions that can run external scripts against the email before delivery. Lastly, it needs a service/backup/issue monitoring tool that will notify admins if there are problems. When problems do pop up, we have to use a 3rd party tool to recognize them (such as the service dying for no reason) as SG doesn't send us any warnings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is an easy platform to implement, configure and use. It works perfectly as a filter for spam, phishing and virus emails. Once the configuration is completed successfully, no further intervention is required. Its cost is really good, accessible for all the benefits it provides. Notifications are explicit so it is easy to know what the problem is. The support is excellent, the few problems that came our way were fixed in a very short time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is not a problem in itself but we would like them to add an integration with Outlook or Gmail that allows to automatically include emails to a white or black list. Apart from this we do not have any other type of problem with Security Gateway, they have met our expectations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simple and easy to setup and get working. You can totally have mail flowing through Security Gateway within 10 minutes of install/config. When fine tuning, the options are well defined. The application is light weight and does not require lots of resources. I like the AD integration for authentication sources so that you can have multiple servers for multiple domains. This solution works for hosting and also for individual organizations. I have used Security Gateway for about 5 years and watched the product evolve. MDaemon Technologies definitely stays on top of the email game and totally incorporates the latest features into their product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The envelope encryption is being offered through a 3rd part subscription service and there is no option to host yourself. The support is still at an early stage and I hope that hosting the back end yourself will someday be a possibility. Aside from that, the product is very reliable.

It is a powerful email protection for the entire organization with which our workflow has been strengthened thanks to the improvement of our security measures. Its tools are capable of protecting all the email platforms we use, to avoid dealing with conflicts caused by viruses, spam, phishing, data leaks, rasomware and other network threats. By using Security Gateway the detection of email threats is much more possible and in turn we use their policy enforcement tools to maintain a good flow of emails to and from users. It is a platform that can be accessed in the cloud if preferred, which makes it much faster and lighter Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The appearance of the interface is not the most up-to-date, there are several aspects that can be worked on to make it more attractive, and it can be better viewed by users who are driven by the visual aspect and not by the functions. All the staff is focused on the tools and the quality of results it offers, so we are very satisfied with the use we have given it so far and it has been positive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My favourite feature of Security Gateway is the system administration tools that is very easy to configure and maintain the system.

Setting up accounts, removing inactive accounts, configuring dial upaccess to remote SMTP servers, manage mailing lists and checking fo rsoftware updates is just completed by a few clicks.

I love that remote admnistration is supported via the web application.It protects our servers against mutilple attacks by offering tools that stops theft ,abuse and unathorized access to servers or accounts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not have anything i dislike about the software only that it requires someone with IT knowledge to run the system well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SecurityGateway does a great job filtering out unwanted emails and makes it easy to manage from either the web interface or the daily summary emails. The ability to merge my multiple email accounts in to one SG account allows for quick review of quarantined messages. I've been using SG since it's inception and have been a lifelong fan of AltN. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My only criticism of SG is the interface feels a little dated. It's perhaps time for a refresh and modernization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its ease of use, extremely powerful and flexible (using Sieve Scripts), very secure, and it can be deployed in a few minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No easy way to do clustering or redundancy, and no support for Microsoft SQL Server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ease of use. Easy interface. detailed logging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Support agreements should be included rather than an extra charge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Security Gateway is surprisingly easy to setup and configure but offer some of the latest and best security features compared to some of the most expensive Mail/Security platforms. The daily email reports and more advanced GUI reports available really help you access what is happening on the mail platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the more advanced features is a bit more difficult to understand and configure but luckily Google and customers support is always close at hand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

installation was a breeze and it is super easy to maintain. No end user training required for my users and spam/virus detection are top notch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing that comes to mind, if you do find something wrong, their support is top notch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Security Gateway is a very easy platform to install, very light and with a very friendly administration.

Something positive is that it does not consume many server resources, I have validated it in a physical and virtual environment, its impeccable performance, to have historical logs if it occupies a lot of space.

Very few problems in its administration and operation, the integration with MDaemon Mail Server is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The updates sometimes generate problems and the support is limited in schedule, the forums exist but the times are very high.

Logs for review and monitoring is not as clear as MDaemon Mail Server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SecurityGateway is a great product for multiple domains. We are a small service provider who hosts are number of email domains for our clients. We like to use open source products as much as possible, but a mail gateway product that really works is hard to find. Couple that with the great user interface for each user that is linked directly to their back end email account, our users can use one login to manage both email and their spam gateway. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing at this time the I find in this product. Price is always a concern for a small business Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

for the most part it very "Ronco" with set and forget it. easy user configuration easy to stop and start the interface. and the one time i called support the tech was spot on and repaired the software asap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it has a tendency to stop running. i'd say once every few months i need to restart the service. a better local user interface. local users have a hard time migration their interfaces. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very easy to manage yet very powerful email security and gateway. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No Single Sign on capability. This is important specially if we want to manage one entry point to our system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Security Gateway off curse very effective security filter in between our email server and end users that filters the emails and send the only that are valuable and reject the malicious emails that could be due to virus, spam or dns black, abuse and easy administration of such kind of attacks that can be easily manage by adding in white list or black list and at the end user can get the filtered emails that value their business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some times malicious emails cannot filter and sending them to end users. Every year renewal cost is also matter that is high and it should be go down. if we add sub domains in the main domain the filter difficult to process work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

User self-managed quarantine and black/white lists. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Insufficient clarity in the management of the Messages Administrative Quarantine.It is not clear for what exactly reason messages are there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Security Gateway is very easy to use. There is a lot of functionality that can be adjusted by the admin. Settings can be adjusted for exactly what your company needs. Excellent product - gives you a secure feeling concerning email. Our company was bought out recently and switched us to Office 365, which is terrible. I miss my Security Gateway! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can't think of any "cons" to the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of installation, direct integration with mdaemon mail server. Simple and straight forward for end users to check and release any false positives. Ability to modify how often users receive notification of messages that were quarantined or otherwise not delivered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Yearly licensing can be costly especially when a large number is required. Some of the initial setup can be confusing if you are also using built in SPAM protection on an existing mdaemon mail server installation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I get an enormous amount of junk mail. Security Gateway filters those out so i don't have to deal with them.They also spot the emails with viruses and weeds those out. It will also track my companies email and stop any spam from being sent from one of my employees email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's not much i dislike about Security Gateway. I' m certain there are more tools and things happening behind the scenes that i don't know about. If anyone were to show me, I would probably get tired head and not fully understand the behind the scenes stuff. It would be exhausting for me to try to learn all it can do.

MDaemon SecurityGateway has been resolved our many issues and reduce our unwanted emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It should be equal to complete firewall like Barracuda. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very easy to customize to fit our requirements. Most other email security software is a one size fits all type of product. Unfortunately, every company has different requirements, Security Gateway makes an extremely flexible package. That is easy to use and set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much to dislike. Software works great at what it does. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Users are self serve in many aspects.

Administration is easy, and so is the integration with Mdaemon.

Upgrades are smooth, and it is very stable Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
