I was just over at Sophos HQ in Abingdon not to long ago. MailMonitor takes over port 25 and stalls on heavy loads we found. Technical support was average to good but not great. Pricing was high. Didn't like the way MailMonitor updated. Daemon on occasion who eat 100% of CPU.
To this day no real problems with vexira to report and if you are educational (I think you are) I know they do some cool stuff on pricing for desktops. I volunteer for a school and was able to snag them some real good pricing on vexira.
BTW Vexira updates are automatic and very easy to cron.
