User Testimonials
	Forcepoint Email Security	McAfee Email Gateway (Discontinued)
Likelihood to Recommend	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. Incentivized Alan Matson, CCNA:S, MCP Sr. Network Security Engineer Read full review	Discontinued Products Comparable to a Barracuda email appliance, these units retain email that is quarantined as well as provide cloud layer to support it. It is best suited for a medium size company as the devices are often not as scalable as Barracuda. Incentivized Derek Schroeder Service Manager Read full review
Pros	Forcepoint URL sandbox File sandbox Spam filter Incentivized Guy Fridman Head of IT - Landa Digital Printing Read full review	Discontinued Products Filtering system is very strong, more often than not blocks bad email. Does fine job filtering and configuring content filtering for extension types such as ZIP or RAR. Intermediary between Internet and email system provides extra layer of security including ability to spool email in the event of an email system outage. Outbound encryption feature is very useful for security purposes. Incentivized Derek Schroeder Service Manager Read full review
Cons	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	Discontinued Products The onsite appliances have end-of-life forcing an upgrade to new unit. Many of the appliances have been end-of-life and seems McAfee may not be offering the service in the future. Incentivized Derek Schroeder Service Manager Read full review
Support Rating	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	Discontinued Products No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	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	Discontinued Products Barracuda provides two product options, the ESS cloud-only filtering, and onsite Email Security Gateway appliances. Unless compliance needs require the on-premises device, the ESS option easily beats the McAfee Email Gateway. Incentivized Derek Schroeder Service Manager Read full review
Return on Investment	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	Discontinued Products The end-of-life of appliances is unfortunate as it forces a purchase of a replacement unit. Barracuda devices have a 4-year refresh cycle so purchasing additional hardware is rarely necessary. McAfee seems to be phasing out the service over time.
