    Cisco Cloudlock is a good fit for my organization consisting of 150 end users. While we have a small office product that can expand to cover any size organization, I would assume the overhead to monitor would increase. While my organization's business is in real estate, I would highly recommend this for all businesses that handle sensitive and private data. Being able to monitor our cloud infrastructure has allowed our security team to be more flexible in allowing approved users access as well.

    If you don't want to have any spam or malware in your mailbox, Symantec Email Security.cloud is the solution to choose. Also, if you need to have some security features, like DLP, it has them embedded!
    We have also been using reporting a lot to see how many emails have been sent, where they delivered, and so on.

    Cons
    Cisco
    • Although alert mechanism is good but it delays a bit.
    • For implementation of DLP we had to hire a expert it took a lot of time to set up.
    • Support [in my experience] is not good.

    • Outbound encryption could be improved to allow for advanced connections to other organizations' PKI keyservers.
    • The user interface could be a little more friendly, finding advanced features sometimes takes a little more time with hunting and clicking to get to the correct page.

    Support Rating
    Cisco
    They are very quick to respond and go the extra mile to help address our issues. That said, we've only needed them at the early stages of implementation for support help and occasionally when we want to do a full re-scan of our site. They are very flexible in working with us on the timing of such scans.

    In very tricky cases, it takes time to explain it to the support personnel as they don't get your problem from the first couple of emails.

    Amazon Macie is limited to an AWS environment and fulfills some of the same functions that CloudLock does in SaaS products. Both are very valuable tools, so the decision is not really which to use, but whether to use both for their respective environments. In general I feel CloudLock is a more powerful tool because it connects to Microsoft 365, which is more business critical for our organization, but that really is a personal call.

    Barracuda's ESS is the premier product, it boasts outbound email encryption as an included service as well as all of the security features of Symantec Email Security.cloud. Sophos is on the same level as SES.c but is not quite as feature rich.

    • Our previous solution was very manual. The ROI has been in less manual intervention from the admins and freeing up their already busy schedules.
