We want to use products that will integrate well with what we have. And we’ve seen the Microsoft roadmap for the Forefront product range, so we know this is a product we can use to increasing advantage in the years to come.” Peter Oescheger, CIO, Sasfin “We wouldn’t put anything else for security on our Exchange Server 2007 machines. The software is well-respected. It’s been around; it’s proven. Our own experience with Microsoft Antigen is that it’s an outstanding product. Forefront Security for Exchange Server makes it even better.” Chris Habala, Senior Architect/Analyst, Del Monte “The integration of Forefront with Exchange is even better than the integration we saw with Antigen.
