PC MAGAZINE RECOGNIZES POSTINI PERIMETER MANAGER
AS BEST HOSTED CORPORATE ANTI-SPAM SERVICE
Administrative control, real-time message processing
and spam management
among the exceptional features noted by editors
REDWOOD CITY, CA February 4, 2003 – Postini (www.postini.com),
the leading email security services provider, today announced that Postini's
Perimeter Manager
email
security service was awarded PC Magazine's highest editorial
honor, the "Editors' Choice" Award, for hosted Corporate Anti-Spam
Tools. In the first comprehensive product review of the leading anti-spam
technologies, Perimeter Manager received PC Magazine's highest rating,
Excellent, in five of the seven categories measured, the only anti-spam
product or service to do so.
The publication's product review team, evaluated anti-spam technologies in seven categories: Power of Administration, Ease of Administration, Interface, Spam Defense Mechanisms, Spam Management, Reporting and Accuracy. PC Magazine editors praised Postini Perimeter Manager's administrative capabilities, noting that the solution "leads the pack" with its rich administration and spam disposition options. "The solution's support for delegated administration, offering different level of rights, is unmatched." In addition, PC Magazine cited Perimeter Manager's patent pending real-time, SMTP connection management technology as a unique and effective defense to combat an increasingly common spamming technique called Directory Harvest Attacks (DHAs). The editors also applauded Postini's spam management features, which enable even non-administrators to customize their own configurations and spam settings.
According to the review, "Postini Perimeter Manager is a balanced anti-spam solution that will please both administrators and end-users." The article went on to say, "We also liked Postini's support for wireless technology, unique among the products we reviewed."
"With an annual renewal rate of nearly 100%, we know that we offer a service that meets the needs and expectations of our customers. This award confirms what this growing base of corporate customers have discovered — that our service offers a compelling combination of sophisticated technology, powerful yet easy-to-use administrative and reporting features, and a rich array of spam detection and management tools," commented Scott Petry, vice president of products and engineering for Postini. "The PC Magazine Editors' Choice Award is an incredible honor and a high distinction for Postini."
