Is Comodo no longer free for 10 users?

I am an IT professional and I often seek out new software for my clients to invest in, however some of my smaller clients I would like to try comodo with, and it seems since you guys have upgraded to this new v2 that it is no longer free for 10 users. Am I correct?

Hi ElementalWindX,

This page might help.
(Appendix 2 - CASG Comparison Table,Spam Filters, Antispam Gateway v 2.12 | COMODO)

- Free Version : 5 users and 1 domain - Paid Version : Depends on the subscription

I thought I saw they changed it from 10 to 5. I cannot find where to sign up for the 5 user account (for my much smaller clients).

Also I am on the 10 free users account. Guess I am grand fathered in. However I added a new user to my account (which makes 5 total now) and it will not let me set them up with a login and they cannot receive emails.

Hi (again),

There is a 60-day full-feature trial available if you are looking for a fully manageable solution.

The free 5-user version is deliberately scaled down and feature-restricted in an attempt to prevent abuse. Regrettably a number of resellers and managed service providers were selling our free products on to their customers, and that isn’t fair now is it :slight_smile:

Kind regards,
Michél

It is a little too restricted IMO. Or broken. I use the 10-user free version for my family while my employer has a paid license. As admin for both, it would be nice if they worked the same. Maybe on a case-by-case basis where you can be convinced the abuse isn’t happening?

These are the most annoying things I’ve noticed about the free version, unless I am just doing it wrong these things are broken or restricted:

  • Users can see an empty list at “Manage whitelist senders” but add and delete buttons don’t exist. Same with the blacklist.
  • In a user’s quarantine, “More actions” contains only “release” - you can’t whitelist there either or even request a whitelist from the admin - even though the users are in the Power Users group.
  • Not sure how they became Power Users in the first place - except that I did it before it became broken or restricted. Now I don’t have the ability to do anything with permissions.
  • I also can’t do anything with aliases including the ones that are already existing.
  • No delivery queue? At all? Does that mean if the destination server isn’t available momentarily it bounces, or I just can’t see what is queued? I hope the latter because I’m pretty sure one of the main requirements for an email relay is that it queue stuff when the destination isn’t reachable.

I had the 10 user free license for one year. When that ran out, I purchased a 5 user license for something like $30 or $35 a year. At the risk of sounding critical, how can you complain about such a reasonable fee?
I mostly use my account to test stuff before applying it to my client’s operation.
