Hi.
Tried interworx a while back in its early stages, but ultimately decided with HC8 since they supported windows/linux cluster.
However, at this point we are looking for an alternative. Don’t get me wrong, HC8 staff have been awesome and the HC is great. But it seems that they are more tailored to Windows implementations, although they do support linux but minimal.
Now I am back and looking to check out interworx.
Can you tell me more about the feature set. There are some that I’m particularly gonna need so please let me know if they’re supported.
- webmail that can compare to the norm nowadays. rich interface like smartermail or mailenable interface. or can i use a windows based mailserver?
- push email, or imap idle support. activesync and syncml better.
- NAT support. This is where HC8 excels as it can automatically change dns settings to the public IPs, even if the servers themselves are private ips.
- central firewall. will clustering still work if they’re behind private IPs?
- how does clustering work? are the services (web/mail/dns/mysql) located on different machines, such that if one server fails or eample apache overloads, it will not affect mail.
- billing support, does it come with one or i need to use a 3rd party?
- signup pages? or this is part of the 3rd party billing software?
- template/interface skinning
- windows support down the road?
I think I missed some, but i’ve been up 24 hours trying to get some issues resolved with our current control panel…
