Security Gateway Reviews

Very easy to manage yet very powerful email security and gateway.

No Single Sign on capability. This is important specially if we want to manage one entry point to our system.

In today’s business, email is valuable service. I’ve used different email gateway, and Security gateway is the only application that actually provide all the tools I need to protect our mailboxes against spam, Spoof, and malicious emails out there. it is equipped with all antiSpam tools at your disposal (SPF, DKIM, DMARC and more). MDaemon has been around for more than 2 decades, for me, they are the most trusted company when it comes to email technologies.

Lots of annoying spam, spoof and junks. Logging capability is awesome now, in v6 you can do archive anything coming in and out of this program. 5 years ago, I replaced the company's old email gateway system with SG, and ever since, I've gotten compliments which I owe it to all unsung hero who works diligently to provide us a better, spam free mailbox, MDaemon / AltN!

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.

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. Also, it REALLY needs an active-active or active-passive high availability without increasing the cost. 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.

I would recommend it, however make sure that you don't need to integrate another antivirus product into your gateway product or look at forums for ways to get around the 3rd party antivirus integration issues.

We are filtering our Exchange environment with SG for several domains. It works well and the anti-leak features is fantastic for several companies.

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.

There is nothing at this time the I find in this product. Price is always a concern for a small business

This product has allowed us to put together a solution that is comparable to the experiences that users have with Google Apps or Office 365 and yet have a cost per mailbox that is less than what each of those platforms cost today.

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.

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.

Email communication between business users in clean and secure environment.

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.

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.

MDaemon has options to demo the product, it's definitely worth taking a look at. Quick to setup and easy to use.

Spam and virus detection and prevention. We've seen a substantial reduction in the amount of malicious/junk email, in the neighborhood of 90%.

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.

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.

I would recommend Security Gateway to anyone with email.

With Security Gateway i don't have to weed through all those emails myself and have more time to do real work. I also don't have the down time due to a virus.

It cost 1/5th the cost of competitors products

I cannot find any dislikes about the product.

We use Security Gateway as an Edge Server to Protect our MDaemon Email Server. The Security Gateway acts as our 'edge' server. We block all internet traffic from MDaemon Email Server and set the Security Gateway in the DMZ.

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.

Not much to dislike. Software works great at what it does.

Using the software to filter out all the junk mail we used to get that would slip right by our Exchange server.

We spend much less time deleting junk and more time responding to legitimate emails.

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

can't think of anything, really, it does everything i want it to do and good.

Incoming Email gateway, Spam filter and quarantine.

The flexibility of the filtering rules using the well understood SIEVE language.

There are some weird quirks with advanced configurations that aren’t immediately obvious. Sometimes I end up rewriting built-in features in SIEVE to add more control.

Start simple, mirror your current configuration and be sure that if your existing mail server has any filtering (in particular SPF, EHLO, IP, etc) you bypass this filtering for mail coming from SecurityGateway.

Email filtering (spam filtering, virus scanning).

We don't receive un-wanted mails anymore, not mails from registrered spam addresses, no outbreak mails - and only very few spam mails you have to treat manually.

When we recieve mails from e.g. our payroll company, they are per default rated as spam, because the attachment (pdf) is password protected. Whitelist is ignored

keep ownership of your data while preventing loss/leacks. Prevents email threats and data theft. Easy to manage and configure

No alerts when issues and necessity to use third party apps and software to complement this product. Set up could be made easier too

Spam/fishing detection and filter, archiving, etc

It is very effective, i dont have to worry about always running malware checks or making sure it did expire.

It would be nice if it was a built-in option but other than that there is nothing i dislike

Its keeping us safe from unwanted visitors.

Felt easy to use and, according to employer, seemed to catch more for a reasonable price.

Seemed to serve the employer's purpose and didn't appear to cause significant issues

Primarily keeping potentially harmful emails and other spam to a minimum at the workplace.
