Considered Both Products	ARTEC EMA No answer on this topic	AppRiver from OpenText Verified User Anonymous Chose AppRiver from OpenText At the time, Rackspace was too expensive, and Microsoft only sold to partners. AppRiver was reasonable and easy to work with. Now AppRiver from Zix, will only host our clients: They will not handle any support for our customers, as they use to. Incentivized Helpful?

Incentivized Helpful? JC Joey Catanzaro I.T.

MN Mark Norman Director of Technology Chose AppRiver from OpenText AppRiver's securetide spam filter is good, but I will say, it's the one product we moved away from.

JM John Massaro System Administrator Chose AppRiver from OpenText At the time, 5 years ago, we switched from Intermedia to Appriver based on price and portal features.

Incentivized Helpful? BA Brion Appling VP of Tech Chose AppRiver from OpenText In the past, we have just gone directly through Microsoft.

User Testimonials
	ARTEC EMA	AppRiver from OpenText
Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	I would highly recommend AppRiver for inbound email filtering. We have been very pleased with the performance and the ease of use. The occasional email does get through, but I have had that happen on any email filtering we have used in the past. Great product and great support as well Incentivized Dale Johnson Information Technology Manager Read full review
Pros	No answers on this topic	Ease of management for a MSP. Even though there is no integration w/ PSA tools currently, I don't see this as a negative. The management is multi-tenant and simple to navigate. Support via chat is fast and very competent. Only downside is they are just available during extended business hours, not 24x7 on the chat. Reselling Office 365 is very simple and gives us an advantage over our competitors. Includes pre sales support and post sale support. Encrypted email services act much like others, it works very well and includes and Outlook Plug in to make it obvious you intend to send messaged encrypted. Email continuity. Email queuing is included, so if your onsite server goes down, mail queues at the spam filter until service is restored. You can step it up w/ their email continuity service which give you access to your mail at the spam filter in cases where your mail server is down for an extended period of time. Incentivized TS Todd Swartzman VP Operations Read full review
Cons	No answers on this topic	We had an issue with bills coming to us instead of going directly to the client that took a little longer to fix than we would have preferred. It would be nice if the bills included the domain name. When I was receiving my client's bill, it was difficult to tell which domains the bill was for. Cost a little more than from Microsoft directly. Incentivized BA Brion Appling VP of Tech Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	AppRiver is very easy to use. A new employee can begin using it on their first day. Incentivized HC Hunter Clayton Sales & Marketing Representative Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	AppRiver's live support is above what I expected, and I use it exclusively. I always get a professional, courteous, and knowledgeable tech that is easy to understand within a few minutes of placing a call. If you do have to leave a message they have always promptly returned my call. Incentivized JC Joey Catanzaro I.T. Manager Read full review
Alternatives Considered	No answers on this topic	AppRiver takes Microsoft 365 and simplifies the billing, provisioning, and support, to the point that we no longer have to deal with Microsoft directly, are able to simply focus on the product, rather than all the settings, setup, and all the other headaches typically associated with setting up a Microsoft365 Tenant. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	No answers on this topic	We were able to drop our email scanning software that was taking hours to clear the cache of emails daily. The reduction in delays on email scanning improved our efficiency as emails take seconds to minutes to get to where they are going not hours. Encrypted email service (Cypher-Post) is difficult to use as well as our recipients do not like how difficult it is to use. The stub emails that contain links often get deleted because people are trained not to click on links in emails. This has caused substantial delays in people getting emails from us.
