    It's suitable for content filtering applications using regex, hash, domain, or email... It's particularly perfect for a Cisco infrastructure. It's also perfect for a hybrid environment, such as on-prem/cloud. It's less appropriate for small- to mid-sized infrastructure because it's too complex for basic use. The UI can be improved as well.

    SolarWinds Mail Assure is well suited to medium and large sized organizations that need a configurable and flexible mail filter. It is likely to not be appropriate for marketing firms that want a set it and forget it sort of filter that needs no adjustment.

    Cons
    Cisco
    • On certain client machines, we found that the software prevented the opening of innocuous email attachments flagging them as potentially harmful.
    • Emails with large attachment sizes can sometimes slow down the email loading process.

    Support Rating
    Cisco
    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.

    We have used a few mail security options, including SpamStopsHere. Mail Assure is easier to manage and adapts as it learns the email traffic and patterns that come into the company. We use most of the SolarWinds suite, including MSPManager, N-central, Passportal, and Endpoint Security. We have been happy with their products and they are always quick to respond to their support tickets.

    • It cut down on the amount of spam we get.
    • It can differentiate a email box from an alias attached so it must be specified to keep from being billed.
