AVG CloudCare - How Do You Like It?
-
I spoke with a representative from AVG about this today and realized they can offer mail security, web content filtering, e-mail archiving, anti-virus, and even remote access through their CloudCare offering. For those that use it, do you feel the feature set is good compared to other products? Any information would be helpful.
Our anti-virus subscription will be up at the end of this year, we use LogMeIn for remote management, we do not have web content filtering at every site but could benefit from it, and we use Mimecast for spam filtering and e-mail archiving (subscription up in June). There may be a chance to save some money here if their product is good.

Nothing will likely save as much as hosted email

Just saying.I agree, but I am limited by ITAR regulations here, and to get that with Microsoft is off the charts expensive.

Have never had an issue with AVG. Haven't tried this service specifically.

Have you looked at Google or Rackspace.

I just talked to Rackspace. ITAR is a no for them right now.

I hear good things....

If I can get no fewer than 300 users to commit, I can build an ITAR-compliant hosted Exchange environment.

Not a bad idea.

Pricing would be $10/user/month, $15 for larger mailboxes and advanced features.

I'm stuck just under 200.

That's about half of the necessary volume.

Well, if we keep acquiring other companies as has been the trend, we may get there yet.

Not a bad idea. I wonder what the insurance pain would be.

NTG used to be a hosted email vendor. It's a fun business to be in. But a lot if work.

This would be tons of fun. Enterprise-grade Exchange environment, intrusion detection, spam filtering, multi-ISP connections, and scalable infrastructure.

I totally agree. It's exactly the kinds of stuff that I love. Just need a good business case for it. There are a lot of people looking for this and for special foreign hosting too.

Is the AV client pretty light weight?

For the desktops, my seat of the pants observation, yes. And of course the Servers I put it on are high disc usage and no issues (no lag, etc) since I installed the AV 6 - 8 months ago.
