“Leading product: on-prem implementation had some kinks, but overall good experience.”

MobileGuard was recently acquired by Smarsh. I think this is a strategic move for both MG and Smarsh to mature the MG product and support, but overall the support we have received from the original MG SME's has been very good. They are able to quickly develop and resolve bugs in the code, and have a very agile deployment methodology.
