"We needed an effective Spam solution to provide perimeter defense for our organization, the Detroit Regional Chamber of Commerce. We were literally bombarded with Spam. Many of our users were spending a good deal of their time each day sifting through the Spam in their mailbox. Of course, this had a negative impact on productivity. Prior to settling on GWGuardian, we looked at many Spam solutions. In the end, we felt that GWGuardian would best meet our needs..." [read the whole testimonial] - Gwendolyn J. Ferguson, Applications Systems Specialist, Detroit Regional Chamber |

"Everyone is raving about the new SCA scanning engine. End users that would typically get a dozen or more spam mails over the weekend received zero spam over this past weekend. Thank you very much for this marked improvement. Coupled with the ability for endusers to whitelist their mail, the new version of GWGuardian is fantastic!" - Jason W. Malpass, MCNE Computer Systems Analyst, Pinellas County Government Server Support |
 |
"I would like to let you know how nice it was working with the Messaging Architects on the evaluation of GWGuardian. The account executive helped me get it installed and configured within 5 minutes of calling him, and he promptly answered my emails within a few minutes. I am cutting my evaluation short, because I don't need to see anything else. GWGuardian addresses all my anti-spam and anti-virus needs. The product takes 5 minutes to get up and running, and miraculously enough, it runs! With this solution I have one less thing to worry about during the course of my day. Once again, thanks for everything that your company does. Fantastic product!" - Mark Barham, Information Systems Manager, City of Williamsburg, VA |
 |
"We are using GWGuardian... compared to other products we tried it is very well designed, easy to use and the Sieve based anti-spam filters are automatically updated. We are catching more spam than ever. I highly recommend this product." [read the whole testimonial]- Dave Thompson, Virginia Employment Commission |
 |
"I was thinking of you folks yesterday when I added a new employee to the user list. The GWGuardian server has been outstanding. Just the virus scanning function alone is worth investing in it. The relaying problems we were having with our GroupWise server are gone and the thousands of unnecessary emails that were being processed by the server for employees that no longer had email accounts are stopped at the GWGuardian level. The GWGuardian server was put into operation on December 1, 2004 and has been up since then. Everyone loves the spam reports. Really a great product!" - Dave Veronick, Anchorage Fracture & Orthopedic Clinic |
 |
"GWGuardian is a necessity for any organization because It Works. During our testing period of GWGuardian, we have had so many positive responses from our staff regarding spam and viruses. It's a powerful yet simple to maintain application that surpasses all other enterprise anti-spam systems claiming to reduce spam. GWGuardian in my opinion has no comparison. You will see results the first time GWGuardian is turned on." - Barry Lee, Information Technology Support Technician, Health Employers Association of British Columbia |
 |
"GWGuardian has saved us countless hours in troubleshooting and problem-solving by blocking dangerous email and viruses. Prior to purchasing the software, we had one of the viruses affect both us and our partner hospital. Since we bought GWGuardian, we are blocking approximately 160 spam messages and 10-25 different types of forbidden attachments and viruses a day. GWGuardian is a great time and money saver for us. We are extremely pleased and completely satisfied with your product - and so are our users." [read the whole testimonial] - Jeffrey J. Noland, Director of Information Services, United Physicians PC "After using it for while I can only say - Great product and Great support. Thank you." - Alex Szygowski , Network Administrator, United Physicians PC |

It ensures stability to our network and provides quality of service to our end users... The relationship we have established with the Messaging Architects is excellent and we are happy to have created a truly secure environment for our mission-critical GroupWise messaging infrastructure."

"...Finally, we gave GWGuardian a shot. With its built-in virus scanning, it also stood to serve as a replacement for my existing anti-virus gateway. After cranking it up for a few days, I was amazed! My personal spam count was down from about 20-30/day to between zero and 2. My colleagues reported similar reductions and were all very impressed. And virtually NO false positives..." [read the whole testimonial] - Robert MacNutt, Northeast Georgia Health |
 |
"There are a number of reasons why I think [GWGuardian]’s a great solution but what I really like about it is its flexibility in allowing me to grant end users the ability to manage their own quarantine and specific preferences related to spam filters. For my department, this translates into less administrative overhead for the staff and dramatic savings in time. I like the fact that end users can access their spam quarantines both through the quarantine reports that are emailed directly to their GroupWise accounts or in real time by logging through the web portal. The quarantine reports are really easy to customize to get the look and feel of our school templates," [read the whole testimonial] - Ruth Michels, Network and PC technician, Grand Rapids Public Schools |

We weren’t disappointed; working with them has been great," [read the whole testimonial] - Leonard Jenkins , Technology Director, Brunswick County Schools, NC |

"The GWGuardian appliance arrived pre-configured and started protecting our GroupWise system within a short time.

[read the whole testimonial] - Dean Emmerson, Director of Technology, Bath Public School Department |
 |
The GWGuardian FastTrack session was great!... I know when I was looking at GWGuardian, I asked for references. I got great reviews from the names that were provided to me, but I took it all with a grain of salt, as no company would willingly provide a bad reference. Well, if you ever need another reference, feel free to call on me. Everything the references said was true and then some. Thanks for a wonderful experience!" [read the whole testimonial] - T.J. Russell, Technology Coordinator, Independent School District #318, Grand Rapids, MN |
 |
"...I had been using GWGuardian for the past 3 years, even before we switched to GroupWise and I already knew what a wonderful product it was... Messaging Architects is by far the best organization I have ever worked with when it comes to support. They have always taken my calls promptly; if I needed to leave a message on the voicemail system, and unlike most companies I get a response back in a few minutes... Thankfully, there are still a few organizations like Messaging Architects that really take pride in their product offerings and value their clients." [read the whole testimonial] - Joe Fleming, Network Services, Illinois School District U-46 |
 |
"I definitely recommend GWGuardian as a messaging firewall. We are so confident in the product that we have a three-year contract with Messaging Architects. The excellent aspect of GWGuardian is that it sits at the gateway level in front of the email server. So, if at some point we do decide to switch email platforms, we don’t have to worry about changing the security layer." [read the whole testimonial] - KC Wise, Senior System Analyst Health Sciences Center, University of Utah |
 |
"We have been using GWGuardian for three years now and we think it is wonderful. A few years ago, I purchased GWGuardian to provide protection for our GroupWise system. I wanted a gateway solution that filtered for unsolicited email and viruses, and was self-maintaining. I got everything configured, turned it on and have loved it ever since. It works better than anything else I have seen..." [read the whole testimonial] - Gary McCullors, Director of Information Technology, Athens State University |

"It's amazing the difference GWGuardian has made on our network... Since its implementation, we haven't had a single viral infection. Before most of the virus problems we experienced were cause by email-borne viruses. Moreover, since GWGuardian keeps so much unwanted email and viruses out of our system, we have seen a significant improvement in GroupWise performance, as well. I can't express enough how pleased I am with the product – it works flawlessly. We are also very pleased in the overall relationship we have with Messaging Architects and its strong commitment to Novell GroupWise... GWGuardian is a phenomenal product; we are recommending it everywhere and I couldn't be more pleased with Messaging Architects. We are currently looking at our budget to expanding to other product offerings from the company," [read the whole testimonial] - Edward Parker, Technology Director, Clinton City School District |

"GWGuardian is much more economical from that perspective since it requires practically zero daily management. This was crucial in our case, since we have 4 administrators responsible for all the networks and the servers in the district." In so far as publishing GroupWise to the web, GWExtranet presented itself as a perfect solution. "Our instructional technologists made sure to familiarize themselves with all the capabilities of the product and prepared training sessions for power users who could then take advantage of GWExtranet's functionalities and pursue the school district’s strategic goals towards excellence," [read the whole testimonial] - Richard Flemming , Pflugerville ISD |

"I would recomend GWGuardian to all my colleagues in the academic sector. It has an impressive spam catch rate and requires minimal administration. What else could an IT professional ask for? In addition to the fact that GWGuardian is a superior product, I have always received quick and efficient client care from the Messaging Architects team. This was an important factor in my decision to choose GWArchive as the solution to tackle the exponential growth of email messages in my email system. The reality is that nobody is getting rid of anything, and user archives are getting very large while more and more data is getting corrupted. GWArchive offers various possibilities for dealing with GroupWise storage intelligently and will contribute to a significant improvement to my GroupWise infrastructure." [read the whole testimonial] - Joe Laskowsky, Network Manager, Office of Physical Plant, Penn State University |
 |
"Our users are thrilled! I received many emails the first couple of weeks after I implemented GWGuardian thanking me for stopping the spam. We are seeing very high spam catch rates and extremely low false positive rates. My management is happy, too. GWGuardian's reports allow me to show them exactly how much spam and how many viruses are being trapped, which relates directly to productivity. As much as 60% of our incoming mail was spam or viruses. Now users don't have to deal with all that garbage in their inbox and our technicians have fewer infected computers to clean up."

"GWGuardian - a perfect name to describe a powerful product. Complete GroupWise protection in one package. Anti-Spam and Anti-Virus are no longer a concern. I have gone from one hour a day managing spam to less than 30 minutes a month. Thanks to all the folks at Messaging Architects for their superior customer service and an exceptional product. I look forward to exploring your full product line." - Justin Green, Director of Technology, Bermudian Springs School District |

"From a budgetary point of view, GWGuardian was an excellent investment for us, as it allows us to manage multiple domains with a single license. Beyond the cost savings, however, from an administrative perspective, the benefits are even more obvious: we have virtually eliminated spam management of our email systems and transferred this task to the end users. There are no more phone calls from students or faculty complaining that they didn’t receive their email. Since we introduced GWGuardian, we’ve had numerous users provide positive feedback on the product." [read the whole testimonial] - Gary Rehnke , MIS Director, St. Cloud Technical College |
 |
"GWGuardian has enabled us to cut down on the incoming spam and junk mail to almost nothing immediately. The product works as a true fire-and-forget solution and support is top notch, bar none. We have been using GWGuardian as our anti-spam solution for the past 4 years. Recently, we upgraded to the Academic AV version and it immediately started catching messages that were virus-infected. GroupWise is the best email application out there and GWGuardian makes it even better." - Russ Hilton, Portage Township Schools |
 |
"During the evaluation period, we tested and compared GWGuardian to other systems. The feedback from the users was that they liked GWGuardian. The end user features were user-friendly and very intuitive. The IT team involved in the testing and decision-making process was also very positive."

"GWGuardian's superior level of defense for our school's email system is reflected in the pleasant surprise experienced by our new Headmaster. He was transferred from another American school and for a while kept the email account at the other school in addition to his Escola Americana account. He was amazed at the amount of unwanted mail that was clogging his inbox at the old institution. He finally requested that they close his other account because it simply was too difficult to manage."

"Just wanted to drop you a line and tell you how easy your GWGuardian product is making my life. Our users are just getting used to email. They never really had it until this year, so. naturally. SPAM was never a problem for them. However, we proactively put in GWGuardian and my users may never know what SPAM is in on their network computers. It simply chews up all the SPAM out there!!! It's super easy to manage and super easy to maintain. I want to thank you for having such an outstanding product!!!" - Chris Kamler, Technology Director, Excelsior Springs School District |

"We use GWGuardian for spam and virus protection. I believe that this was one of the best solutions that we could come up as an academic institution. Since we installed GWGuardian AV, spam and viruses are no longer a problem for our users. I put it on the most extremely filtered setting for spam and don't worry that I have blocked mail that might be important to CSCC's users. Viruses are blocked whether our virus scanner has the signatures or not. They don't even enter our mail system..."

"We started the relationship with Messaging Architects about two years ago when we were looking for an anti-spam solution... We discovered Messaging Architects' GWGuardian solution on the Novell website, where the product was featured.... GWGuardian does everything well, is cost effective, we don't have to manage it at all, and we don't spend anytime worrying about it... As our client executives have to travel not only throughout the UK, but also in the USA, Australia, South Africa, we wanted to facilitate their job by making their GroupWise messages, appointments and contacts available to them at all times... after receiving a demo of GWAnywhere and the Treo 600 handset from a UK-based Messaging Architects sales executive decided that this offered a solution that fitted our criteria – great functionality, easy to use, easy to manage and cost effective. We ... have now implemented the GWAnywhere system using Palm Treo 650. It has been one of our best received system changes, with nothing but praise from the users."

"As an organization running GroupWise, we value your partnership with Novell and appreciate your strong presence and visibility at Novell-related events and GroupWise communities.

"We've been using GWGuardian very sucessfully for about a year now. I've owned two other solutions before GWGuardian and this product is clearly the winner. I've nearly eliminated our spam problem with very few false positives and very few user complaints. Couldn't live without it. Great product! The technical support I've received over the past year has been exceptional. Always quick to help and willing to work through any difficulties. They walked me through the install while I'll was on the phone with them." - Kevin B. Maire, Technical Services Manager, Norwest Equity Partners |

"Again, many thanks for the support that we have received over the past year and for your continual attention to our account. It is most appreciated and best of all, the product is excellent. I first received a recommendation for GWGuardian from a colleague and our expectations have been surpassed. We especially like the fact that GWGuardian stores email and the extra failover that provides, should there ever be an issue with the mail server. Support has been excellent each time I have contact them, too." - Peter Smith, Chemfil Canada Ltd. |
 |
"We couldn't be happier with GWGuardian. Our spam situation has been relieved to the point where it's just not a problem any longer. Whereas I used to get 200-300 spam message per day, now I get maybe 2-3, sometimes none at all. GWGuardian has certainly proved its worth around here and we swear by it. Productivity has improved tremendously since we started using it." - Jack Hughes, MIS Director, TCOM, L.P. |
 |
"I would like to stress that GWGuardian has added incredible value to our corporate infrastructure. Everyone is very happy with the results and I've been actively promoting it to anyone who is plagued by spam. In fact, a salesperson actually referred one of our customers to me to discuss our anti-spam solution. I eagerly recommended Messaging Architects to her company. In addition to the excellent product, your customer support is outstanding and builds loyal customers like me." - Robert Adams , Systems Analyst, Fetter Printing Company |
 |
"I've concluded my evaluation of spam filtering products and have secured approval to purchase GWGuardian. Just so you know, I evaluated GWAVA, NetIQ's Mail Marshal, BrightMail and GWGuardian.

 |
Installing GWGuardian removed the processing burden from our gateway domain MTA... eliminated the smut and cut the spam messages down by 98% or better.

Excellent job Messaging Architects!!!" [read the whole testimonial] - Kelly Steed, Global Email Engineer, International Rectifier, Inc. |

"Spam today - gone tomorrow! Let me say that we now have GWGuardian installed and all of us are thoroughly impressed with how it is working for us. We use it in conjunction with our Watchguard filtering and between the two of them, for me personally, it has cut my spam down to virtually zero. Company-wide it has done a remarkable job of reducing our spam overall. It has quite a number of ancillary features as well, which makes it a top-notch anti-spam, anti-virus application. We are totally happy." - Jack M. Hughes, Security & Information Systems, TCOM, L.P. |
 |
"Two days ago I installed the latest update of GWGuardian and I must say since then, I have not received one bit of spam email with the new version.

"Nearly 2 years later I still find the product to be excellent at what it does and its low maintenance, along with excellent 'personal' support on those rare occasions I have had to call." - Mick Davey , BSI Management Systems (Americas), 2005 "We are so pleased with going for GWGuardian appliance. With the time constraints I face, I don't want to administer and monitor; I want to just turn a switch and have everything working.

The installation process was painless and the anti-spam solution is doing exactly what it said it would with zero administration effort on my part." - Mick Davey, IS/IT Manager, BSI Management Systems (Americas) |
