The pricing I am looking at for Google/Postini is $1 US per user/month (that price is for the Message Security service which in my opinion is comparable to most AV/AS). That isn't really any cheaper than what I pay for most enterprise solutions. We have had terrible luck with hosted solutions in the past; not because the solutions, or providers, were bad, but rather because our users just couldn't figure them out. For us simplicity is almost as big a requirement as security is. Not as big, but close. If our users (particularly at the executive level) can't figure out how to use any product we implement, then it won't be in place for long. Tim

I'm really interested in knowing why most folks (that aren't using in-house AS/AV solutions) haven't moved to Google/Postini for your AS/AV? At 0.25 USD per month per address, it's almost an order of magnitude cheaper than any other enterprise solution available. Comments requested! Thanks. Regards, Michael B.
