EdgeWave ePrism Email Security vs. Paubox Email Suite

EdgeWave mitigates some of the risk of email by pre-filtering for emails with viruses or other security threatening attachments. It does a good job of removing unwanted or potentially risky emails and allowing for safe viewing and review of these emails without compromising your company and mail delivery systems. It does not provide a timely notification delivery system for seeing emails with problems without accessing their client consolr site.

It is well-suited where you have access to manage your business's own domain settings. It is well-suited to medical professionals requiring send/receive email encryption of PHI/PII in compliance with HIPAA. It is less well-suited to solo users than group users, due to Paubox's requirement to buy licenses in sets of 3 (requiring you to pay $120x3=$360 yearly for 3 licenses, even if you only need 1 license).

• More information could be available in the email notification that reports when email was blocked.
• While trying to work with an application that sends email it can be difficult to determine why the email was not received if blocked by EdgeWave unless a check of their dashboard is made since notifications cannot be scheduled more than once daily.
• The option to have reports sent more frequently is a much needed feature.

• Only drawback was the actual setup in Outlook was a little tricky. I called support and they made it easy.

EdgeWave ePrism Email Security is very similar to other programs such as Barracuda, SonicWall, or Proofpoint. I have used some of these other products in the past and I can't say that any of them do anything better or significantly different from EdgeWave so I believe all would provide similar protection. EdgeWave was the product chosen before I started working at my current employer and I don't have any compelling reason to change.

Paubox is much easier to use than other software we have tried. Once it's installed, we almost forget about it.

• Great way to help secure emails and keep customers from clicking on potentially threatening content.
• Increased security footprint by detecting malware and viruses that could pose security issues for an organization.
• Decrease lot of time spent tracking email problems and attachments.

• By integrating with our existing support system, Paubox added no overhead to our customer support.
• The user experience is great for the vast majority of our customers (those whose email provider supports TTL encryption), so customer satisfaction remains high.
