We rate InstaGate PRO as our Best Buy for its extreme flexibility, feature-rich environment and reasonable cost of ownership, while the Proventia Network MFS Appliance is the first of our Recommended products. Like others of Proventia’s product range, it is well thought-out, versatile, well-documented and priced in the middle of the UTM pack. The NetPilot appliance wins our other Recommended award for its value in small or widely distributed branch -office environments.

Our Best Buy goes to Safe Access. Even with its relatively high cost, it is an excellent product, offering the full range of endpoint security functions. If your enterprise needs total protection, it is the most serviceable package we looked at. Its ease of use and performance make cost of ownership beyond initial purchase very reasonable. Our Recommended product is LANDesk Security Suite. As part of a larger suite of products, the LANDesk Security Suite offers flexibility and functionality. It suffers a little from initial ease of use and is a bit pricey, but is very competent and has impressive functionality and performance.
