    When deploying to a client who is very sensitive to email routing disruptions like those that can occur by putting an email filter in front of the email server, IRONSCALES deployment is extremely simple. It hooks into the user's mailbox, and not only filters point forward but a number of days back.

    I think McAfee is great to have whether it's for work or for personal use. While it has some drawbacks, I like the peace of mind of feeling safe when I'm browsing the web/email, especially when my computer has sensitive/confidential information, knowing that McAfee will immediately detect any threats. The UI is extremely easy to navigate, which makes it easy for users regardless of how tech-savvy they are.

    Postini, Windows Defender (built into M365) & Trend Micro email security. Postini was purchased by Google and then went away. Trend Micro was very basic at the time I used it (many years ago) and utilized purely blacklisting tech but that was before the AI boom. Windows Defender is not as multi-tenant friendly.

    I haven't used Norton for a while, but when I did use it I felt that it slowed down my computer and had constant pop-ups, which were both equally frustrating and annoying. It was also very difficult to remove from my computer. Malwarebytes is a great, straightforward program I've used for virus scanning. It's pretty bare bones but I think if you just want something to scan for viruses it gets the job done quickly and reliably. In my opinion McAfee offers similar benefits as Norton but its more intuitive and doesn't impact system performance.

    Return on Investment
    IRONSCALES LTD
    • Understanding its limitations with regards to cyber security education campaigns
    • Rigid domain lists. Might be attributed to how we purchase through a distributor but if a client needs to add a monitored domain name, it must be requested instead of allowing me to do it myself.
    • Unclear if there have ever been any outages or service disruptions. Since it is monitoring mailboxes and not routing email, there is no outage client side. This could be a benefit but it also means end users might be unprotected during an outage.
