What do you like best about Quest Software?

I like doing business with Quest--the software is dependable and solid, their support is accurate, responsive and the followup excellent. Their a good company to do business with (plus we also use TOAD) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't much to dislike, other than a bug in the version 5.3 of the software causing our older attachments to not show properly. However, once patched, everything was back to normal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Quest Software:

Don't skimp on your hardware--give it the horsepower to do the job you're asking it to do! We're running it on a dual-processor 2U server with 12TB of internal storage and 32GB of RAM--and it will use it! We like it on a physical box in lieu of virtual mostly because of maintenance and the ability to keep it separate from our Exchange server. The only thing I'd like to see is maybe a more robust relationship with a DB vendor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Quest Software solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Archive Manager to archive our Exchange server and attachments. Because we're a public institution, we have long retention times for our email archives--and Quest Archive Manager has done a great job fulfilling those requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
