Alibaba Mail vs Cisco Secure Email (formerly Cisco Email Security)

Likelihood to Recommend

Alibaba Mail is well suited for email management and is very well suited for us. It has many good features that are important, like being secure, and tools like the integrated calendar, which is useful for seeing schedules, availability, and scheduling meetings or events accordingly. Another quite important thing is that it offers a collaborative software solution.

Cisco Secure email perfectly fits a basic email environment; we use Microsoft Exchange Server and Cisco ESA as our smarthost and the default MX record for email receiving. With this setup everything seems to be just fine. However, we encountered some technical issues when we used an external SMTP gateway "smtp2go.com" forcing email sending limits per user is not an easy task to do when you use an external gateway. If one user gets infected he/she can simply cause a temp ban from the 3rd party gateway for sending a huge number of bounced emails.

I would overall give this product a 10 out of 10. I don't see many flaws at all and it does what it's meant to do and helps put my clients' minds at ease when sending personal information via email. This software allows you to send secure emails to those intended to receive them. This helps not only myself but also clients feel safe when emailing secure documents that contain personal and financial information.
