Customer Testimonials

"This product has been the best investment we've made...."

Carlos Cruz, Computer Engineer

"Please do keep up the good work. It's all good, exceptional turn around and responsiveness which will keep me here for a long time coming."

Netmaster

"You guys really are doing an amazing job! My bosses think this product is the best thing since sliced bread! Thanks for making my job so much easier."

J. Brewer

"We are running on a Dell 400cs (yes celeron) with 512 meg ram and a 100g hdd. XWall rocks on this machine in our setup. We are averaging 5000 messages in and 7000 messages out."

M Nold

"I went ahead and purchased it earlier this week, and let me just say, I’m impressed. It was easily installed, and with minimal muddling I found my way around everything."

Dennis D.

"I'm trying out ESATInformer. It's a great product, and I've had lots of positive feedback from my users."

Jim G.

"That ESAT program looks really nice, and I think would make for a great complement to theXWall software. I'll read up on it a little more and most likely make the purchase of that for my company. You have a great product, and I appreciate the quick turnaround of answers to all of my questions."

Larry B.

"ESATInformer is a great enhancement to XWall. I feel like the guy in the 'sharpening the saw' story that Steven
Covey writes about in his book. I have been so busy, I didn't take time to look at ESATInformer before this week. I should have done it much sooner."

Tom J.

"Huzzah!
Dave and Peter—Count us among your friends on the Web. I know I recommend XWall whenever I can, but I don't want you guys to be too successful, if you know what I mean. Having this kind of access to the developers is priceless!

Just promise us you won't turn into Faceless Megacorp, Inc. when the word gets out about XWall and ESAT.

J.W.

"Thank you XWall.
It has been a few months since I checked in on the forums. Looks like things are still going good for you guys here. I just wanted to post a little update to Peter and Michael and the rest of the crew on how things are going with our install. I have offically achieved my goal of catching 90%+ of everyone's spam in my company. Most people are at 98%. With some aggressive filtering and whitelisting, we have made our goal, and the users rejoiced. We could have never done it without the ESATI package and all the hard work you guys did to help us get it converted over to work with Lotus Notes. I am still waiting to see a write-up in Network World for you guys promoting XWall/ESAT as the next 'Killer App.' You guys deserve it. Thanks again guys."

Brandon H

This is the best software. It has saved me a ton of time. I just wanted you to know how proud I was to have it. It is working great!
