After looking into other products, like Exchange Server, MDaemon was chosen for its price/performance ratio. It was only after we had already installed the software that we became aware of the EXCELLENT level of support.
It has been a pleasure to work with a company like Alt-N that has consistently shown that quality IS not only a priority, but a FACT. Service that is an ever ongoing thing, even AFTER the sale.
