It has a simple setup, it has been utterly reliable nad it does an excellent job of weeding out crud - while allowing you to whitelist wanted addresses and domains. It also has country filtering - which removed a ton of crud immediately. I have used this product for over 10 years and am implementing it across the domains I host mail for. I also love the fact that if my server was to go down, they will catch and store mail long enough for me to get the issues resovled - so no missed mail. > > **Cons**: I am always more comfortable if I can pick up a phone and call someone - but this is a low risk factor - as if MXGuardog were to ever fail, I would just switch my mx records and everything would work again (with more spam). > > Blooming awesome. I am an admin /postmaster for around 20 domains. MXGuardDog is being rolled out across them after we tested for over a year with a couple of difficult recipients (who were getting thousands of crappy emails per month) They are not technically literate yet the MXGuard Dog process worked for them. ----- ### "Completely Satisfied\!" — 5.0/5 > **Ryan** | *20 November 2024* | Security & Investigations | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We were in a meltdown regarding our Spam and mail security due to a targeted attack from the outside. Our previous system was barely protecting us at all. MXGuardian techs helped us get set up and configured to minimize the DOS attack and give us back control of our systems. They have been responsive to all of our questions and are making sure we are getting the most out of our subscription\! > > **Cons**: Sometimes it's difficult to understand the organization of the countries when looking to block or allow specific traffic, but I blame my geography grades for that. The language blocker is a nice bonus\! > > MXGuardian turned out to be the best choice for us. The product is solid, even at a lower subscription. Users find the interface intuitive and it's cut down on managment time for our internal tech team. Support is always helpful and we're very happy to be using MXGuardian for our email protection service. ----- ### "The product is right on point." — 5.0/5 > **Chuck** | *30 March 2022* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Inexpensive so I could replace a previous product that constantly raised their prices each year. Selecting the features I needed were available so I didn't have to pay for features I would not be using. Easy to understand from both the end user and the administrator points of view. Equally effective and adjustable like the previous high priced product I was using. > > **Cons**: Some of the administration fields could use better or more explanation. Maybe some inline tooltips on some of the form fields. > > Overall the best value I've found for what I needed. I searched for weeks before I found this and have been nothing less than happy with the decision. My customers are protected and have the same features as the higher priced alternative I was using. ----- ### "MXGuardian cannot be beat for the features at the price point, a fantastic product." — 5.0/5 > **Allan** | *29 September 2021* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: So easy to setup, so easy to use, from an admin point of view and user point of view, i cannot recommend it enough. the billing is super simple. the support is excellent. > > **Cons**: nothing at all, it ticks all my requirements. > > Fantastic, i've had to reach out to support a few times over the years, and they have been great, and it's usually something i've done or not done that has been the issue. You just set it up, and it just works. i don't think any product out there could filter all SPAM, but MXGuardian does a pretty great job. ----- ### "MXGuardian nearly unbeatable as a standalone E-mail filter." — 5.0/5 > **Scott** | *17 August 2021* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease in adding to allowed or blocked lists, the ability to see reports of blocked items 2 times daily. The ease of releasing false positives. The 30 day archive is a great feature. The ability to set settings strict or be able to loosen the restrictions. > > **Cons**: As of now meets all our needs, maybe a weekly summary report of all sub accounts, that details any changes amount filtered etc. > > All in all this is a good product and not over complicated or cluttered, does what it should as it should. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/214999/mxguardian?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/214999/mxguardian) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
