Instant messaging security (2005)

Our Best buy for this test is the FaceTime Enterprise Edition Product Suite. It offers a comprehensive solution to the problem of managing IM applications at this level, with excellent auditing and reporting facilities. We felt that two products should receive our Recommended awards. The Gordano Messaging Suite provides excellent security and integration using its own IM server, while the Blue Coat ProxySG 200 would be very suitable for the smaller enterprise that needs access to the public IM servers.
