Bala,

     Thanks for the question!  I am not familiar with the Brightmail Mail Security product.  Is it possible you are referring to the Brightmail Message Filter program?


Thanks,
John

Thanks for your reply

Yes i am Referring to Brightmail Message Filter.

What is Difference Between Symantec Bright Mail Gateway & Symantec BrightMail Message Filter ?

Bala,

     There are several main differences.  The first is that the Symantec Brightmail Gateway is a stand along appliance which is either purchased with hardware through Symantec or an authorized reseller.  The Brightmail Message filter offeres a little more leniency in where it is installed as you can position it on the mail or as a gateway.  Another major difference in the content compliance on the Appliance (Brightmail Gateway).  Along with the ability to import structured data and create regex based compliance polies it also allows integration of Vontu as well.

I hope this helped some.  Per your other thread I am still researching to see if we have a comparison page for you.


Thanks,
John

Bala,

     I spoke with one of our sales reps and we do not currently have a web page that allows for direct comparison of our enterprise products.  I was however informed that you can call our Channel Sales Support line at 888-780-7962 and they can help walk you through the differences in products.

Thanks,
John

Hi Bala,

John has already highlighted some differences between SBG (Symantec Brightmail Gateway) and SBMF (Symantec Brightmail Message Filter), but I want to again emphasize one key difference that SBG comes with its own MTA whereas for SBMF you can choose the MTA that you want SBMF to integrate with.
