	Kiteworks	OpenText Core Email Threat Protection
Considered Both Products	Kiteworks Verified User Anonymous Chose Kiteworks The main reason for selecting Kiteworks is that when sharing files with multiple customers, each customer has no idea who the other customers are. To do that in Teams would require users to create a private team for each customer, which would be very [time-consuming]. Incentivized Helpful?	OpenText Core Email Threat Protection MK Mark Knutson Manager of Information Security Chose OpenText Core Email Threat Protection Proofpoint is a major player in this space, and I believe their product is overall superior to Webroot Email Security. However, the price is much higher for products like Proofpoint, which has made it difficult to fit that into our budget. We really like using the outbound … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose OpenText Core Email Threat Protection At the time, Rackspace was too expensive, and Microsoft only sold to partners. AppRiver was reasonable and easy to work with. Now AppRiver from Zix, will only host our clients: They will not handle any support for our customers, as they use to. Incentivized Helpful? Namandeep Bhatia Co Founder & Chief Technology Officer Chose OpenText Core Email Threat Protection Zix provides a unified solution. Incentivized Helpful? Danielle Yale System Administrator Chose OpenText Core Email Threat Protection We used to be customers of Virtru, but we found that their feature set was neither nearly as comprehensive nor as user-friendly as Zix's. In addition, we acquired Cisco Ironport but struggled with getting it configured properly. The interface was outdated and difficult to use, … Incentivized Helpful? Jackie Moller System Administrator Chose OpenText Core Email Threat Protection Although the price is reasonable, my company found that adding Office licenses was a no-brainer. For less money, I was able to upgrade from a lower-tier product at a rival to Zix's premium package. Improved processes and workflows have resulted in a filter that is more precise … Incentivized Helpful? Kelly M Bennett System Engineer Chose OpenText Core Email Threat Protection From AppRiver to Office 365, the support crew was exceptionally detailed and helpful. For new users, distribution groups, members on lists, and adding supplementary email addresses to current profiles for my teams, they led me through the process. Incentivized Helpful? James Piper Information Security Administrator Chose OpenText Core Email Threat Protection False reporting and lack of onsite users' experience with the product. All reports I ran would come back with inaccurate information. Incentivized Helpful? Dr. Lorne Lavine Owner Chose OpenText Core Email Threat Protection Much better, can talk to a live person, fast response, ease of use Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose OpenText Core Email Threat Protection Cost is competitive, but factoring in Office licensing really made sense for my organization. Cost is lower for more features - I was able to move to Zix and get the top of the line package, moving from a mid-tier product at a competitor. Workflows and process have improved, … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose OpenText Core Email Threat Protection We were formerly a Virtru customer, and the feature set was not as robust nor as user friendly as Zix. We also purchased Cisco Ironport and had trouble with configuration. Three phone calls with technicians to set up and the interface was old and antiquated. The Zix … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose OpenText Core Email Threat Protection I have never used another platform besides Zix, because when I was starting to look into it, I was asking other agencies that I saw their secure email with the Zix logo on the bottom, and they all highly recommended Zix, so I did not even need to look elsewhere. Incentivized Helpful? PP Parrish Peachee Agency Owner Chose OpenText Core Email Threat Protection They are a leader in my industry which was huge. I figured if all these Fortune 500 insurance companies use them then they must have something going on. After further review and diligence I see why. Great company and service and a reasonable cost. Incentivized Helpful? RH R Holter IT & Cyber Security Specialist Chose OpenText Core Email Threat Protection The sales staff and online customer service prompts were what made us decide to look into Zix products. The ease of implementation into our configuration and then the ability to edit the lexicons completed the decision. Incentivized Helpful? BG Bryan Griffin Senior Network System Administrator Chose OpenText Core Email Threat Protection We wanted an easy to use system with little to no end user interaction. Humans are able to make mistakes so we wanted to take out the user error. Incentivized Helpful? DS Dane Spoelker IT Coordinator Chose OpenText Core Email Threat Protection Our EHR system used to have an imbedded Secure Email feature that we used, but it was rather difficult, not user friendly, and even often times sent our emails to our recipients spam folders. Zix is a vast upgrade and improvement. Emails are delivered more efficiently and it's … Incentivized Helpful? Doug Kinzinger Director of Technology Solutions Chose OpenText Core Email Threat Protection Cost, ease of use, support Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose OpenText Core Email Threat Protection Zix was able to bill us monthly versus paying for the entire platform once yearly. The cost was also a component. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose OpenText Core Email Threat Protection AppRiver wins for customer support, cost, efficiency, and speed. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose OpenText Core Email Threat Protection AppRiver takes Microsoft 365 and simplifies the billing, provisioning, and support, to the point that we no longer have to deal with Microsoft directly, are able to simply focus on the product, rather than all the settings, setup, and all the other headaches typically … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose OpenText Core Email Threat Protection AppRiver provides extra services that our previous email service provider did not. SharePoint had extra email security features - for the price. Incentivized Helpful? JC Joey Catanzaro I.T. Manager Chose OpenText Core Email Threat Protection We evaluated several other vendors that I won't mention by name but found their partner program to be less attractive. If you are already using Office 365, give AppRiver a try. I think you will be pleased. Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Kiteworks	OpenText Core Email Threat Protection
Likelihood to Recommend	We are sending some pools securely via Kiteworks. Sharing and receiving secure files from 3rd party users and tracking files are very simple. Kiteworks solved compliance and security issues. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	I have already recommended Zix to a number of our coworkers in the home healthcare industry, and a number of those coworkers also use Zix, which makes it quite simple to connect with one another. Because it pertains to health care, which is an industry in which it is vital to maintain confidentiality and sensitivity, we also utilize it within our own organization to communicate with one another. Incentivized Danielle Yale System Administrator Read full review
Pros	Microsoft Office Plugins Desktop Synchronization Mobile Ability Group chat File Filtering Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Makes it easy for those receiving emails to create an account and retrieve the email. Peace of mind knowing emails are secure, and can be tracked. Monitoring inbound email threats is easy. Support has been very quick resolving or explaining support tickets I've created. Incentivized DS Dane Spoelker IT Coordinator Read full review
Cons	Encrypting our files appears to be less than 100% complete Software updates cannot be scheduled to take place automatically like their old product Detailed activity logging is not available to administrators. You must submit the logs to Accellion for analysis. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Ease of use. Other competitors platform is WAY easier to use and customize. You have to cover THE ENTIRE ORGANIZATION with coverage, even though only a handful will need to use email encryption The Zix Protect platform is a complete joke to customize and use. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	It did delivers exactly what is needed, what was promised, is cost effective, and is incredibly easy to use and manage. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	It is much simpler to configure and operate in comparison to other anti-spam applications. Zix's customer usage is comparable to that of other spam filters on the market; but, in terms of convenience of use, Zix comes out on top. Daily delivery of logs is provided, and the user is not required to sign in order for an email to be sent. Incentivized Jackie Moller System Administrator Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	AppRiver's support from our perspective replaces the Microsoft365 Support we typically would have to receive from Microsoft by ticket. Instead, AppRiver supports us by phone, live chat, or email. Being able to get a hold of someone quickly makes a huge difference, especially when an issue is urgent and we can't wait hours or days for a response from Microsoft.

Alternatives Considered	The main reason for selecting Kiteworks is that when sharing files with multiple customers, each customer has no idea who the other customers are. To do that in Teams would require users to create a private team for each customer, which would be very [time-consuming]. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Proofpoint is a major player in this space, and I believe their product is overall superior to Webroot Email Security. However, the price is much higher for products like Proofpoint, which has made it difficult to fit that into our budget. We really like using the outbound email encryption feature of Zix, and I think that has some serious competitive advantages over something like Proofpoint, and so it is nice to have that all in one platform. Incentivized MK Mark Knutson Manager of Information Security Read full review
Return on Investment	We have tried to move to other products but our users will have nothing of that. We migrated from the Accellion MFT product with relative ease. We have less than 100 users, using over 1.5 TB of space, so it's a very popular product. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Users have improved at identifying spam. Fewer false positives are coming through. It has identified a lot of security holes from vendors (e.g. most vendors using outdated extensions that we are now able to block, creating a discussion with our users).
