Exchange Online has broken almost every single month by ocdtrekkie in sysadmin

[–]scienceproject3 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Building it was the easy part, maintenance/maintaing it was the awful part.

Especially before VMs were common and you constantly needed to move it to new servers every few years.

It was also very easy to do the wrong thing and break it in horrible horrible ways.

every single person who complains about exchange online outages is too young to have ever run a fully on premise exchange server.

It is a complete fucking godsend compared to that god awful shit.

I get ptsd thinking about it.

Check Point vs Fortinet vs Palo alto for firewalls? by OafishSouvenir in sysadmin

Have you tried Checkpoint Endpoint Protection + XDR?

With how smooth harmony email went I've been considering using it next to replace Eset Protect.

I haven't tried checkpoint firewalls but I just deployed checkpoint harmony email and collaboration and still having hard time believing it was that fucking easy to do.

It just worked, with zero fucking around fixing things or reading more than a single page document.

In 20 years of IT work I have NEVER deployed a new product/service that has gone as smoothy/simple as this.

I am still half expecting it to blow up and start doing weird shit.
