User Testimonials
	Clearswift SECURE Email Gateway (SEG)	Forcepoint Email Security
Likelihood to Recommend	Fortra The CS SEG appliances are running as virtual appliances by now. They do need not much power in the ESX environment. I recommend to use at least two peers running in a cluster. The cluster feature is working very well. The CS SEG can process a huge number of emails in a very short time frame. Incentivized FH Frank Haarmann Senior Consultant Read full review	Forcepoint Forcepoint Email Security is perfect for set and forget. Very little do I need to get in and that's to tailor a policy there are minimal issues I have encountered since using the product.

Pros	Fortra CS SEG is fast in email processing Managing the quarantine is easy Display of the reasons why an email has been processed this is very detailed Incentivized FH Frank Haarmann Senior Consultant Read full review	Forcepoint URL sandbox File sandbox Spam filter Incentivized Guy Fridman Head of IT - Landa Digital Printing Read full review
Cons	Fortra Improvement is needed in the area of AV/Antispam update processing (internally) Improvement is needed in the log file processing. Many log file entries are not understandable for an operator or administrator without special insider knowledge Clearswift has recently changed the support provider. Now there are no german supporters anymore. Incentivized FH Frank Haarmann Senior Consultant Read full review	Forcepoint Speed is not the best but its email not instant chat Incentivized Alan Matson, CCNA:S, MCP Sr. Network Security Engineer Read full review
Support Rating	Fortra No answers on this topic	Forcepoint The support could be better, but the good thing is rarely having to call them. Incentivized Alan Matson, CCNA:S, MCP Sr. Network Security Engineer Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Fortra The Clearswift Secure Email Gateway (CS SEG) has very low license costs. A two peer cluster is enough to run a complete emailing gateway environment. Compared to the Proofpoint PPS the CS SEG does not need a management appliance. The CS SEG peers can manage the quarantine by themselves. This is easy to use and quite fast. Incentivized FH Frank Haarmann Senior Consultant Read full review	Forcepoint Since Forcepoint is used widely in our organization, the integration between DLP web and Mail is amazing, and I didn’t find a good reason to split services between vendors if I have all the package in one place Incentivized Guy Fridman Head of IT - Landa Digital Printing Read full review
Return on Investment	Fortra Since this CS SEG environment is operated for a customer, I cannot answer this question Incentivized FH Frank Haarmann Senior Consultant Read full review	Forcepoint Even though Forcepoint solution is targeted high in terms of price, the added value it provides to an organization by securing their system in web and mail is tremendous Incentivized Guy Fridman Head of IT - Landa Digital Printing Read full review
