    EdgeWave
    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.

    Proofpoint
    Proofpoint Email Encryption is a strong fit for organizations with regulatory and compliance requirements and an excellent add-on for existing Proofpoint Email Security customers. Because encryption can be automatically triggered via DLP rules, it works particularly well for organizations that already use sensitivity labels.

    Cons
    EdgeWave
    • 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.

    • Experience for the recipient and the reply workflow: it can be a bit cumbersome for some to go through the portal to read and reply to messages.

    Once the environment is well-tuned, the solution deserves a 10 rating. The platform offers a clear, centralized admin experience and aligns strongly with existing workflows and sensitivity labels.

    Alternatives Considered
    EdgeWave
    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.
