Network Box Internet Threat Prevention System

The third managed service submitted for this review has a twist, it is an appliance which is delivered, installed and configured by a Network Box engineer.

Therefore the hardware is on your own premises, not that you have to do anything with it particularly, except for look at the neat status LCD on the front of the 2U chassis, it is still remotely managed by Network Box's engineering team.

There are five different options available when it comes to the size and scale of the Network Box lineup. If you are hovering between an in-house managed system and a outsourced managed service, then perhaps Network Box can provide a solution for you.

  2. We trialled both Mailguard & MessageLabs. MessageLabs is seemingly run out of the UK. To make a simple change required talking to someone in the UK, faxing a form to the UK, and waiting for them to be available. Not ideal. Anonymous -- 01/06/05

    Not ideal.

    1. RE: MailGuard propaganda posts Anonymous -- 21/02/08

      Geez, i wonder which of the two firms the anonymous poster is aligned to?? MessageLabs have a sydney office, have far a greater number of and far larger australian client base than MailGuard, and have never experienced the service outages that plague MailGuards poorly conceived and architected systems. Ever heard of availability & capacity management?? How bout mis-leading and deceptive conduct, alla "100% uptime" as is claimed in your marketing. Sub 25 seats, where you dont rely that heavily on your email, use MailGuard as they are cheap. > 50 seats, use MessageLabs, or Postini or Microsoft (whom acquired Frontbridge in 2006). You get what you pay for afterall.
