Cofense
It is well suited in environments where there is a high mail traffic to handle. [Cofense] Vision basically journals the exchange server and keeps a copy of the mail received in the environment. Really beneficial to revoke and quarantine the mail reported by one user, but footprint is there in other mailboxes as well. Less appropriate in the cases where there is no proper segregation of duties within the organization. As it is possible to see contents of the mail. Only authorized personnel should be able to use it.

Cons
Cofense
  • Its cost can be somewhat high when it comes to a small business, so it is perfectly suited to medium or large companies.
  • It can throw problems when it comes to migrating said tool in the different versions of an email.
  • Its configuration is simple, but it is important to fully understand its operation to give adequate responses to possible threats.
  • It would be ideal if it could be integrated with your platform.

  • Although it is a relatively simple software to use, it requires a bit of knowledge, which a new user cannot do without consolidating some previous knowledge.
  • The technical support team is not ideal; although, on many occasions we have not needed their help, the times we have interacted it has left us wanting more.

It might look complex in the beginning but once you get hold of it by going through all of the documentation then it seems to be very smooth. The configuration is comparatively easy and the user can understand it on their own without any external help. The overall learning curve is Ok.

Apple of Discord is the pricing as we were looking for an email security tool in reasonable pricing and Barracuda was undoubtedly efficient in action and was compatible with our business but it was highly expensive and then we made up our mind for another tool and Cofense Vision was offering almost the same as Barracuda but cheaper.
