It took me about three hours and I had problems setting up the web server and user accounts. I could have used more help during this process. Once I was up and running though things got a lot easier. The Administration Service page makes it really easy to manage user groups and set rules. I could even upgrade the operating system on a users’ BlackBerry. I could also hand over some control to the users. There are some brilliant security features. You can wipe a lost smartphone from the console and lock out Bluetooth, for instance. And there are loads of policies that BlackBerry has set up so you can select them off the shelf. All in all I’d recommend BesX to any small business that has a load of BlackBerrys.

We already had the full BlackBerry Enterprise Server installed, so we were interested to see what the Express edition had to offer given that it doesn’t require a dedicated server. Pleasingly, it provides many of the basic administrative features for supporting and managing end users’ Blackberries. The web-based interface provides uncluttered access to a range of features and is fairly self explanatory – we found it really easy to get the hang of it.
BlackBerries are rolled out across our entire sales team, so we’re fairly reliant on the full version of BlackBerry Enterprise Server. However, I can see the attraction of the Express edition, particularly for those who have no formal provision for managing workers’ smartphones in the office.
For businesses with a small number of BlackBerries deployued, and for those who only want basic access to an Exchange server, BESx could fit the bill.

It works fine for me, it's fast enough and reliable.

RIM have positioned the Smartphone as a computing device over the last number of months yet it is still somewhat short when comes to modifying content and updating that back into the enterprise or smb server. This type of functionality you would expect from any computing device local or remote, now you can leave your laptop behind

I'm curious to know what resellers can charge for this service since it's free. Are they bound to not sell the service but then bundle the costs somewhere else in the package? Or will this be a value add service at no cost?
