SpamTitan review

Spam is unsolicited e-mail that causes all sorts of problems. Part of the problem is the waste of time (and therefore money) that is caused by having to delete spam e-mail messages every day. There is also the more serious threat of spam e-mails carrying viruses, Trojans and other malicious software.

Spam is both dangerous and relentless, which means that you need to find a reliable and consistent way to identify and isolate spam e-mail messages, especially the dangerous ones. This is where SpamTitan comes in.

SpamTitan is a powerful e-mail security software solution. It protects you in two chief ways: it accurately scans for spam e-mail, and also scans for viruses, Trojans and other malware. SpamTitan runs two antivirus engines: ClamAV and Kaspersky Labs. By using two antivirus engines it massively increases the probability of successfully detecting the presence of viruses, Trojans and generic malware. It is important to detect malware without fail, because viruses and Trojans can result in significant financial and reputational losses for both businesses and individuals. The use of two antivirus engines also reduces the chances of false positives, which are also time-consuming and irritating.

SpamTitan uses a multilayered approach to scanning and detecting spam, and as a result of this highly refined and effective approach it is able to detect 98% of spam e-mail messages. This means that 98% of malicious unsolicited e-mails are automatically routed to your junk e-mail folder, without ever going through your inbox.

The accuracy of SpamTitan in detecting spam e-mail also works the other way, and its false positive rate is extremely low: only 0.03%. This means that, on average, only three e-mails out of 10,000 will be incorrectly identified as spam and sent to the junk mail folder. In other words, it is an extremely rare event!

The other way in which SpamTitan provides security to your e-mail activities is that it scans outgoing e-mails as well as incoming ones. The value of this is that there is always the possibility of a particularly elusive and dangerous virus on your system which can find its way into your outgoing e-mails and infect the recipient. Don't forget that the recipient could be within your own company!

SpamTitan is available in two versions that do exactly the same thing but suit different requirements: SpamTitan ISO and SpamTitan for VMware. They use exactly the same operating systems and carry the same support costs. They are also equally simple and fast to install and configure.

SpamTitan ISO includes a complete operating system and software suite. When you install this version of SpamTitan on your system it will completely replace whichever rating system you are using. This will result in a dedicated and fully integrated e-mail appliance for your gateway.

SpamTitan for VMware combines an operating system and software suite just like SpamTitan ISO, but this version is specifically designed to run on VMware. The advantage of this is that it will allow you to run SpamTitan on any server that uses VMware, regardless of the operating system. This means that you will be able to run multiple applications on one server.

SpamTitan is extremely simple to download and install, and can be managed from a web-based interface. The way it works is that you download it and install it, after which you are given 30 days of free use. When the 30-Day free trial expires, you can still use SpamTitan, but it will not clear viruses, Trojans and other malicious software. To keep that function you need to purchase a one-year license. The cost of this one-year license depends on the size of your business and other factors.

SpamTitan is a true plug-and-play solution, which means that you simply install it and start using it -- there is no nightmarish pre-setup procedure that you have to follow.

There are two possible SpamTitan packages available to customers, depending on what they do: one is for small businesses, and the other is for Internet Service Providers.

The SpamTitan solution for small businesses performs all of the functions that you would expect of powerful e-mail security software: it scans for spam and also checks it for malicious software.

The other SpamTitan solution is for Internet Service Providers, System Integrators and Managed e-mail Service Providers. This solution allows the provision of e-mail security to customers. The great thing about this solution is that they allow you to rebrand SpamTitan with your own logo so that you can present it as your own proprietary service to your customers. That is outstanding value for the price you pay!

SpamTitan is a powerful e-mail security software solution that performs two key functions: it detects spam e-mails and also scans for viruses and other malicious software. It runs two different antivirus engines, with the result that it detects viruses and other threats with an accuracy of 98%. Furthermore, it has an extremely low false positive rate: only 0.03% (three e-mails in 10,000 are an average incorrectly identified as spam).

SpamTitan is extremely easy to download and install, and you can benefit from its full functionality for 30 days free of charge before having to purchase a license to maintain its full functionality. However, the threat of viruses and other malicious software transmitted by means of e-mail is so serious that the annual license fee is almost negligible compared to the potential financial and reputational losses associated with viruses, Trojans and other malicious software.
