User Testimonials
	Clearswift SECURE Email Gateway (SEG)	Intermedia Email Plus
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	Intermedia This is the perfect solution for businesses that want a scalable solution with a fixed cost per user. Intermedia is amazing with no contracts. Incentivized John Rivers Owner, IT Consultant Read full review
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	Intermedia Excellent support Great performance Incentivized John Rivers Owner, IT Consultant 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	Intermedia Email filtering is good, but not excellent Office 365 default settings require a little tweaking (registry) Incentivized John Rivers Owner, IT Consultant Read full review
Usability	Fortra No answers on this topic	Intermedia 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. Incentivized John Rivers Owner, IT Consultant Read full review
Support Rating	Fortra No answers on this topic	Intermedia Native English speaking support, excellent response, and quick resolution. Support is amazing at Intermedia. Incentivized John Rivers Owner, IT Consultant 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	Intermedia Intermedia Email Plus support is better, costs are comparable or better, and backups are better than the alternatives. Incentivized John Rivers Owner, IT Consultant 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	Intermedia Scalable for seasonal/variable employee count Easy administration Easy onboarding Incentivized John Rivers Owner, IT Consultant Read full review
