"When it came to buying an e-mail server, we looked at several options, many of which were just too expensive or too difficult to setup and maintain. We tested many different packages before coming to MDaemon, which proved to be easy to setup and did not require a great deal of maintenance, yet, provided all of the security and management features we required, and all within a reasonable budget."
John Hammell, Network Manager
St George's High School For Girls, UK

"In my experience, Alt-N's products have proven to be very reliable and easy to use and administor. The team of people at the company truly cares about the customer, and they work hard to answer every question...usually within 1-2 hours. This kind of response and dedication is not found in software companies these days.
As we are now looking forward to the newest release, we can only be in amazement at the new features to come."
Rick Kendall, Owner and CTO

"Alt-N's MDaemon support team is also a tremendous resource, giving fast and friendly help with configuration issues and problems. MDaemon has proved itself in the field for all our clients who use it, in businesses both large and small, and we continue to recommend it without hesitation."

"I've got several MDaemon installations out there, and I've never seen a crash. The product is solid at any price and amazing for what it actually costs."
Pete Soloway
"We are definitely proud of MDaemon. It is a very stable, efficient and cost effective system. We never had ANY problem with it since 2.5 years.
We also install MDaemon in many customer locations, and they are also very happy with the product. We have installed it on some super yachts, connected to Internet via satellite connection. This is a very important kind of installation, without any possibility to go onboard to fix the problems if they happened (they are all over the world). We had no problem at all."
Marco Lanata, Managing Director
Virtual Duferco Group
"I recently downloaded trial versions of both MDaemon PRO and GroupWare.
Encountering a few teething troubles, I contacted Zen Software for some technical support and received unbelievably accurate, fast and friendly support from them and all this before we had even decided to go ahead with the purchase, let alone spent any money on it.
The products are user-friendly, as is the backup from Zen. As a result, we have now gone ahead with placing the order for the software and know that, if we run into problems, we have found a company on whom we can rely.
Thanks for great products, even greater support and for saving us a fortune on not having to buy MS Exchange Server!
Why can't it always be like this?"
Richard McCaig
Central Investment Planning, UK
"Great - just what I needed. It was a non-trivial question, and I was surprised to get a definitive answer within minutes of my email request!
Can I take this opportunity of saying that this is another superb example of the level of service/support we get from you for the MD product. Thanks to ALT-N and ZEN SOFTWARE!"

"MDaemon has become a mail package that is tailored to the real needs people have and can be made to fit every desire my customers have had.
I have been able to offer a good, stable, affordable mail solution to my customers for the last 4 years without afterthoughts, knowing that, should a new need arise, Alt-N is just an email away. I sleep at night!"

"I installed security plus on Friday Night for a local Charity - Meridian Money Advice - who have been suffering from hundreds of Spam messages every day.
I have just checked their system and thay have received 5 emails since the installation - and 4 of those were MDaemon Notifications. They will be VERY happy tomorrow morning when they arrive at their office. Thanks!"

"This product is just the business!! If you ever need any testemonial for MDaemon, don't hesitate to ask. I dread to think how much money, time and effort I would have had to spend to get an Exchange solution up and running as easily as MDaemon - We effectively have a full, secure 100 user mail system for less than £1000 - Bargain!!"

"I would firstly like to thank you for your service. I am finding you guys a BIG help for times when I get stuck using MDaemon. You always reply to my requests very promptly and with a result every time.
I have always worked with MS Exchange in the past, and found there to be no support at all or very little and having to phone premium rate telephone numbers to get it. I am very happy with Zen Software and MDaemon, and would think twice about using Exchange again. Thank you."
Jonathan Button, IT Administrator

"If you want an answer from the lead developer of the mail server you use within 2 min 09 sec, you better go with Alt-N products."
Udo Kaune
iNet Hamburg, Germany
"Coming from a background in MS Exchange based environments; I can't believe just how simple administration of MDaemon is in comparison. In my opinion your product is definitely a worthy competitor especially when the cost difference is factored in and support seems to be second to none so far.
Thanks again for your prompt response."
Chris Richards, IT Manager
First People Solutions Group, Glasgow, UK
"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."

"I just wish all software were as stable as Mdaemon/RelayFax ... if you are looking for a stable mail server to run on virtually any Windows OS, there is no question of what to invest in. As in Mdaemon, you have all important functions you can look for when it comes to a Mail Server."
Stefan Kroll

"I feel like gushing with gratitude!! Your answer was spot on. It is service like this that makes MDaemon a better choice than MS Exchange. How likely is it that I would get the answer to a technical question within an hour from Microsoft?"
Kingsley Newman, IT Support Manager

"We have been using MDaemon for our 24x7 online mail server for the last four year, and we never had a break down. It's a wonder, light-weight application that always works."
Muhammad Mohiuddin, IT
Karachi Institute of Information Technology, Pakistan
"Just wanted to say how impressed I am with the recent release of MDaemon and the improved spam filtering. As you know we had a big spam problem (seemed big for the size of our company!) getting more than 150 emails a day to users email boxes and over 500 emails a day being sent to non existent addresses.
Following your advice a couple of months ago we started using the Bayesian learning system which seems to work a lot better...since we upgraded it has gone down to less then 10 spams per day in users mail boxes and the best bit is that the spam filter is not targeting genuine emails which is always a worry. Thanks and well done to Alt-N."

"After using the horrendous Turnpike program for a major client's mail server, we looked at various products, including Exchange server and IceWarp's Merak MailServer. We initially settled on Merak though this was delayed due to the complicated installation process. MDaemon was suggested to us so we decided to 'give it a go'. And we are SO glad we did.
Whilst we are still to use MDaemon to its potential, I must say how impressed I am with the software. Not only is it stupidly easy to install and set-up, its use is painless. I certainly heartily recommend MDaemon to anyone looking to install a mail server application. There is only one problem - because it is so easy to use and configure, professionals like myself will find it difficult to earn a living from it.
20 minutes to install and initially configure - compared to 3+ hours for Turnpike or Exchange server Virtually no maintenance (yet) - compared to at least 4 hours per week for Turnpike.
MDaemon appears, at first view, to be the dream product as far as mail servers go. Feature rich; ease of use and integration with existing clients make it a 'must have'."

"We have been using MDaemon Groupware for two months and we are thrilled. We are a marketing communications firm with 10 people on staff and have been trying to figure out an easy way for our production manager to assign tasks, meetings, and control our calendars for some time now without breaking the bank. With Groupware it's a snap, we can now see what everyone is doing and log in from offsite to check our mail. I would highly recommend this product to any office that needs to know what their staff is up to. It really takes Outlook to the next level."
