Cisco Cloud Email Security vs. Intermedia Email Plus

The most appropriate scenarios to implement email security is in companies that want to protect the use of electronic mail since it is one of the security breaches that are currently used to perform any type of attack. Very effective integration with Office 365 and it is highly recommended to add the functionality of advanced malware protection

• Outlook integration in terms of a plug-in would be great. Currently, users can't add something to a blacklist or whitelist directly from Outlook.
• Management of the platform is done from two portals the ESA and SMA. It would be nice to have it all in one management portal.
• A quick start management guide would be nice. The manual is over 1,000 pages, so there is definitely a lot of functionality in this service.

• Email filtering is good, but not excellent
• Office 365 default settings require a little tweaking (registry)

I love the usability of Intermedia Email Plus. The only downfall isn't their fault. The issue with Office 365 registry settings requires changes to connect to Intermedia Email Plus flawlessly.

Cisco TAC support is very good since they have engineers available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Important to mention that you must have the support of the solution enabled to be able to receive a response from TAC and that we can be taken care of. The only drawback may be that they will not be able to see settings of the email provider you use.

Cisco was at least better than or equal to the others but within our budget. It provided all of the services of anti-spam, content filtering, anti-virus, DLP, encrypted email service, scalability, and more than the others. Cisco name and reputation were also key in our decision.

Intermedia Email Plus support is better, costs are comparable or better, and backups are better than the alternatives.
