At a time when more than 70 percent of U.S. businesses are using instant messaging (IM) in the workplace without appropriate management and security, a recent InfoWorld magazine review of enterprise IM systems singled out IMlogic's IM Manager 6.0 as the most "polished and complete compared with the other products tested."
In particular, the review cited IM Manager's ease of use, security capabilities and scalability as key features that make it the clear choice for the many organizations adopting IM as a business tool.
IMlogic's IM Manager 6.0 "stands out with excellent usability, very flexible policy management, and scalability," wrote Mike Heck, an editor for the InfoWorld Test Center. The product "brings critical control, security, reporting, and compliance to all types of IM. A single console allows IT administrators to perform policy and user management. There's optimal security, including the ability to authenticate users, trap viruses, and capture messages. Finally, the architecture of IM Manager 6.0 is fault tolerant."
The InfoWorld honor is significant because, according to recent research from the Pew Internet & American Life Project and several industry analysts, companies are struggling to determine how best to control IM while capturing its business benefits. Companies using IM must protect their businesses from security threats like viruses, spam and information security leaks, while ensuring regulatory policy compliance. That's why companies such as Time Warner, Bank of America, Thomson Financial, Starwood Hotels and BlockOrders have recently tapped IMlogic for its enterprise IM management solution.
IMlogic IM Manager 6.0 is the leading enterprise-class IM management system, bringing centralized control, reporting and security to traditionally unmonitored and uncontrolled enterprise IM usage. Recognized in the industry as the widest deployed IM management system with more than 400,000 licensed seats, IM Manager meets the most rigorous IT requirements of the Fortune 1000 across the finance, energy, healthcare, technology, government and manufacturing sectors.
