"We downloaded the virtual appliance software, created ISOs and installed the appliance on a bare metal server in our lab," SC Magazine's reviewer told readers. "The install was actually much easier than one would anticipate, and once loaded, we used the web-based user interface to do all the configuration." SC Magazine also noted that the solution had "All the tools and options you need. An enterprise-worthy solution that we make our Recommended product this month."
