Also, it should be noted that Postini’s spooling service is going away with the Google Apps transition. Their new “solution” is to deliver your mail to a gmail account while your onsite server is down. Guh? No thanks.

We use only Postini Spam Filtering (which became Google Message Filtering). That is not transferring up to Google Apps. Google Message Security is, but not Google Message Filtering. So it is definitely not true that we can simply migrate to Google Apps. We can’t. Blah Google.

Dan, I’m guessing you are only looking at this from your perspective. What about Postini customers that are using these services and have no interest in a Google Apps. We are perfectly happy using Postini as a filtering service and do not want Google Apps. We’ve tested it and it just does not fit our business model. All this decision does is force us (and many others) to fix something that isn’t broken. At least GFI is offering a comparable solution to those in a similar position.

The Google announcement is more than a transition to a new technology platform. Google is clearly trying to grow its Google Apps customer base, and their announcements of made it clear that they are terminating their Postini offering and asking their Postini customers to transition to the Google Apps platform. This is not a criticism of the Google Apps platform, and it is true that most of the Postini functionality is also available with Google Apps — along with additional functionality. However, customers may still have several concerns about this change — notably, any risks of the migration itself, the Google privacy policy which was developed with a bent towards the primary Google advertising business, and the long-term customer costs for Google Apps (even if not its full functionality is not used) relative to the Postini pricing.

Please, what a load of lazy, misleading nonsense. Google have announced nothing of the sort. They have announced they are transitioning all Postini customers from the old infrastructure that came with the Postini aquisition to the latest Google platform which is bigger, better, faster and even more secure. It also means that Postini customers will now enjoy the massive rate of development and new features that has become the norm for other applications on this plaform.

they are not forcing customer to use Google Apps, Postini customers can continue to use whatever mail server or service they like. this is great news for Postini customers. Please guys have more respect for your customers and prospects and tell the truth.
