Reducing the Workload of the Email Server and Fast Searches
“We’ve been using MailStore Server at all our domestic and international offices since 2015,” says Sebastian Danisch, IT manager at Horn & Company. “In addition to eliminating mailbox quotas and cutting the workload of the email server, we’re happy to be able to archive emails in a legally compliant manner.” The IT expert rates the initial installation and setup times and costs as low, and attests to the outstanding price-performance ratio of the software developed in Viersen, Germany. His verdict: “Highly recommended.”
