very good solution
i was looking for a new Security Solution which has integrated an IDS, Proxies, Content Filtering an Anti-Spam mechanism. I checked and tested a lot of UTM Solutions but i was absolutely surprised that this product (which has quiete a lot of more functionality than i was looking for..) has integrated the globale Players from the market (Surf Control, Utimaco, Snort, ..)for a very cheap price in an easy to manage Product.
I hope they will go ahead this way in the future..
Re: looks very nice
> Is there a trial period???
Yes: 30 days, everything enabled, no limitations
After that period, you can request a free home use license at my.astaro.com - also everything enabled, but restricted for 10 users.
