Overview

Owners of KerioControl and Kerio Connect appliances migrated to GFI AppManager may have concerns about the implications of this transition. Specifically, they may worry whether their machine can only be accessed from the cloud (AppManager) moving forward.

Solution

There is no need to worry. Users can access and manage their GFI product(s) from GFI AppManager, while local UI is also still available as it always was, and no changes will be made to it. GFI AppManager (as was MyKerio before) is optional.

It has other functions from which customers can benefit, but its value increases primarily with adding more products from GFI or when they manage multiple sites/accounts.

Summary

After migrating KerioControl and Kerio Connect appliances to GFI AppManager, local access to the appliances remains unchanged. Users can manage their appliances both from the AppManager cloud interface and through the local UI, just as they did before the migration. The use of GFI AppManager is optional and primarily beneficial for managing multiple products or sites from GFI.
