Winner: Akonix's L7 Enterprise
The biggest news in the messaging space last year was the emergence of instant messaging as a corporate tool. No longer were employees using IM solely to check in with friends about lunch plans - they had begun to use the systems for communicating with customers, clients and other business partners for work purposes.
But with compliance regulations such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act looming over corporations, monitoring and managing IM systems is a potential headache for IT departments. We set out to test for the best IM and monitoring system, and found the Akonix L7 Enterprise deserving of that credit.
Lab Alliance members Christine Perey and Travis Berkley said they were impressed with L7 Enterprise's customization features for user configurations and policies, especially in governing file transfers by type, size or time of day. With L7 Enterprise, you can get as detailed as creating a policy that lets only marketing employees send PDFs and JPEG files between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Wednesdays. You can apply rules to IP address, IM handle and other identity management types. The system also lets you set rules based on user location. With this feature, for example, you can mandate that users be connected to the VPN to use IM. The system features an easy-to-use Windows program for creating attractive summary or detailed reports, charts and graphs. These can be used as PDFs, Crystal Reports or HTML.

This small company earned accolades for its innovative technology, and we hope to see more innovation from Akonix in future upgrades.
PRODUCT MASTERMIND
The man: Eric Cattell, lead software engineer
Job duties: A member of Akonix's founding team, Cattell has been a key architect and core engineer for Akonix L7 Enterprise since its release in 2002.
Favorite Feature: "Our policy management engine. It is unique, complete and easy to use. Sixty seconds after an organization deploys Akonix L7 Enterprise, the administrator can create any policy needed, whether it's blocking all file transfers, limiting who employees can IM with or filtering for confidential information. Instantly that policy applies to any user or group of users, on any IM system used, across all the public IM networks and their internal enterprise IM system."
