Most UTM (Unified Threat Management) appliances provide basic security features out of the box but are too complicated to implement and harder to manage. Kerio has made that a focus with Kerio Control and everyone who tries it immediately sees how easy it is to set it up and just start using it.

 

One of our own bugbears is opening ports in the firewall – with Kerio, instead of having to make three complicated rule settings, you can make it happen with an intuitive wizard-based interface. Yes the system can still be accessed at the detail level, but for most day to day tasks you will be saving time.

 

Kerio Control includes a web content filtering engine, gateway anti-virus protection, a robust traffic reporting module, a fast VPN server, and VPN clients for Windows, Mac and Linux users.
