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.

Cons

  • 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.

  • The Outlook Add-In broke several systems during use.
  • There are many changes to the account reps and engineers assigned to us. As a result, we lost touch with Tessian.
  • Lack of knowledge and help from Support during times when the Add-In was disrupting users.

Pretty straight forward for the users and admins. Some terminology takes a little time to learn for the admin, functionally seems rock solid.

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.

Egress is a very capable product, likely on-par with Tessian as a fraction of the cost. I will be giving them a deep review this year
