“These guys build a line of appliances to step in where SBS leaves off. And the fact that it is in a separate appliance should make many more comfortable. Actually any Windows shop would benefit from its integration with Active Directory and Snort-based security. Of course, if you don’t use Windows Servers, the AccessEnforcer line would still serve you well, albeit sans the AD hooks. In fact, if you feature compare it with popular security appliances targeting the same audience from Cisco®, SonicWALL®, Watchguard® and others, you’ll be surprised at what you save.”
Owner and Founder, ObjectPac

“Calyptix is a great example of a company thinking beyond a traditional firewall design, they are looking at our typical SMB business environment as a whole, the entire risk and management perimeter. You can see they have leveraged the Microsoft Small Business Server concepts, offering most people a better value proposition than a separate ISA server. It’s a more sensible scale and cost effective proposal as a stand-alone device.”
Jeff Middleton, Founder, SBSMigration.com

 

“Calyptix has gone above and beyond. . . making an investment in our community of professionals. And our ‘tribe’ recognizes their commitment.”
Harry Brelsford, CEO, SMB Nation

 

“I can tell you that Calyptix is not only listening closely to the MSP community, but they are also working hard to put the additional pieces in place to make their security technologies a compelling proposition for MSPs.”
Mark Crall, Charlotte Tech Care Team

 

“Calyptix, which in my opinion has the absolute best fit UTM product for the upcoming SBS 2008 and EBS 2008 platforms, is big enough to serve the needs of the SMB community and small enough to care and provide rapid response to issues.”
Andy Goodman (Microsoft MVP for SBS), Owner, DownHome Computers

 

“Microsoft is pleased to support Calyptix in offering AccessEnforcer Version 2.0 alongside SBS and EBS 2008 to its customers and resellers. Ease of use and value are the keys to adoption of any solution by small and medium-sized  businesses.”
Madlener, Director, Windows Server Group at Microsoft Corp

 
“I wanted control of my network settings and parameters — and I got it! The product functionality of the AccessEnforcer at this price point is phenomenal…”
Cole Brand, Talon Technical Services

 

“I knew from the first minute that the AccessEnforcer was what I needed here, especially with all the people that come in here, and connect their PCs to the Internet. Plus it allows me to literally control how the Internet is accessed as well (When I have the need)….We don’t know how we ever managed to get by before we came across Calyptix. I am certain that the AE500 has more than paid for itself and the annual maintenance fee. Keep up the good work, mate and thanks for the AE500 – it is definitely worth it even for a small company such as ours. (April 27, 2009)”
Stuart A. (customer since 2007), Mac enthusiast

“Thanks for all the help, you guys have been great.”
Chris Warner, Systems/Network Administrator, Culminis Inc

 

“With the current market confusion about terminology, selecting a Unified Threat Management or All-in-One security solution is like a box of chocolates … you never know what you’re going to get. Regardless of the name, however, the research confirms that All-in-One solutions such as AccessEnforcer are helping organizations — especially SMBs — improve security, improve compliance, reduce unscheduled downtime, and contain operational costs.”
Derek E. Brink, Research Fellow – IT Security, Aberdeen

 

“AccessEnforcer stands above the crowd of UTM devices in the SMB space. It is easy to manage for daily use and still gives us flexibility for complex configurations in some of our SMB customers. The integration with Microsoft’s Active Directory is a key feature in our customer environments, and allows us to effectively implement network policies just like enterprise environments but at a fraction of the cost and complexity. We invested a considerable amount of time selecting AccessEnforcer, and our customers’ satisfaction with the results provide proof of our decision.”
Kevin Royalty (Co-author of Advanced SBS 2003 Best Practices, Microsoft MVP for SBS), Managing Partner, Total Care Computer Consulting

Jason Harrison, Harrison Technology Consulting

 

“Calyptix is leading the pack in providing in-depth training — even though their product is quite simple to implement and manage.”
