Mirapoint RazorGate 100 review

Does exactly what it says on the tin (cliché but true)


We tested a RazorGate 100 in front of our 400-user Exchange server 2 months ago, following an unpleasant Barracuda experience (still trying to get a refund) and refused to give it back at the end of the trial. We're seeing Mailhurdle discard ~75% of spam before the scanning processes weed out all but a small quantity of the remainder. The reduction in mail traffic also has a big knock-on effect for my admin duties. I now spend 20 minutes over a coffee in the morning reviewing the contents of the quarantine instead of a painful 2-hour slog.

The RazorGate 100 has the same few quirks I've encountered in Mirapoint's mail servers before. Some work needs to be done to expose low-level CLI features in the browser interface, and LDAP integration to Active Directory works well but could be made much easier.

Verdict

Unique MailHurdle technology makes the RazorGate 100 stand out, but it's a little on the expensive side.
