Axigen Benefits
Kuvera s.p.a. was in search of a reliable messaging solution that could support their business goals and model, that is to say enabling email communication for its employees at their 500 stores. What pushed Axigen at the top of their list?
We wanted an all-in-one messaging solution, with friendly Web interfaces for administration and user mail. Axigen provided all these and also had an excellent quality / price ratio.
Roberto Barbarossa, CIO at Kuvera s.p.a.
The selection process
Kuvera’s Systems Administration team, composed of Gennaro Terracciano and Marco Sorvillo, performed the analysis of several solutions in the market, to conclusively select the Axigen mail server. The evaluation process focused primarily on the products’ administration interfaces, security, affordability and performance. Several test environments were used in order to get a thorough understanding of each mail server’s potential and to properly evaluate their strengths and weaknesses before making the final decision. One of the main points of interest was the interfacing of the software to Kuvera’s LDAP server, where Axigen outranked its competitors thanks to its advanced flexibility. Then, solutions were analyzed in terms of security (e.g. antivirus and anti-spam protection).
To sum things up, Axigen had the best performance for all six parameters considered in the evaluation. This confirmed that it was the ideal product for our Company.
