Testimonials

“Trussbilt decided to purchase GFI products because they are designed with

the SMB in mind and the features offered an excellent fit for the company.

With GFI software installed, the company was able to ensure that email

received was free of spam and viruses while giving IT administrators full

control over the use of the Internet within the organization; thereby cutting

down on unnecessary, non work-related Internet browsing and greatly

reducing the risk that inappropriate content could be viewed on company

machines. The growing threat from infected websites and malicious

downloads was also a concern, especially for an organization working in the

security business.”

– Mark Harvey, Trussbilt

“GFI gave us the feature set that we were looking for at the greatest value

by far. It is a cost-effective solution and it has saved us operational time.”

– Mr. Laskowski, Aegisoft
