MailGuard top ten: #3 Set and forget (no hardware, software, installation, maintenance or updating)

Choosing an email security provider is an important decision for any company. To make your life easier, this blogpost series shares 10 of the most compelling reasons to go with MailGuard – trust the innovator to simplify cloud security.

Turn on MailGuard's service and reap the benefits

MailGuard’s email and spam filtering service is a “set and forget” solution. As the name suggests, once it’s up and running, it works in the background and requires minimal attention on your part.

It’s a simple concept; yet the benefits to business are significant.

Traditional security solutions are high-maintenance

Prior to “set and forget” solutions, businesses were tasked with managing appliance or PC-based solutions. An appliance requires capital investment and installation of hardware. Software licences for each PC would be purchased and renewed regularly – and even more often, updated with patches, re-installation or downloads, in an effort to protect against new waves of threats.

This level of maintenance and administration meant a heavy commitment by in-house or outsourced IT resources.

The MailGuard difference

MailGuard can be deployed in a matter of minutes. No lengthy delays involved, to scope, specify, manufacture and install. Once deployed, it works around the clock to protect your business from the latest, most sophisticated threats with no user input required whatsoever.

What’s more, MailGuard is easily installed, requires no hardware, no software, no maintenance or updating. Not only can it reduce the burden on your IT department, but it can also significantly reduce the costs of managing hardware and software.

You no longer need to worry about whether you are protected - the service is always up to date and always works.

MailGuard's service is based on a low cost per-user per-month, so there are no up-front investment costs. Rather than going through yet another purchasing process every couple of years, you have a low and predictable monthly operating expense. That makes your life easy.

Highlights of MailGuard’s “set and forget” service include:

  • You are always protected – and you don’t have to lift a finger
  • Dramatically reduces the burden on your IT department
  • Significantly reduces the costs of managing hardware and software (and the associated staffing costs)
  • Predictable and affordable monthly pricing (rather than incurring new capital investment costs every few years)
