    Unfortunately all these products are better in almost all aspects. It is not to discredit the Trustwave, but they have much to improve in this area.

    In a medium company, it is suited since the cost can be high for a smaller one.
    I think there are better and more complete products for companies with higher volume or levels of confidentiality. While it is a good product, today there are several that exceed it in quality and functionality.

    While this solution is capable of managing a smaller environment, I'm weary to install it into a larger customers' environment. This solution does a decent job of basic email security and centrally managed controls. Hardware upgrade options seem limited though if adding a lot more email boxes. Retention options are limited compared to other products.

    Pros
    LevelBlue
    • By having the physical appliance, it is more granular the control that is had of the users, which also accelerates the speed of detection of threats.
    • The few options of DLP that it has are very useful when filtering sensitive data, but I stress "few".
    • The interface is intuitive, but for more advanced options, it requires a higher than average knowledge of these systems.

    • Simple setup, but allows you to be flexible with different security zones.
    • Robust, stays up and running.

    Cons
    LevelBlue
    • I know it is not a DLP since there is another specific product for it, but they could do it just a little easier for the average user.
    • An intuitive interface in a broader aspect, not only in the basic functions.
    • The option only in the cloud is good, but only the appliance offers all the functionalities.

    • Manufacturer is focused on several solutions (so likely not enough focus in one area)
    • Not the most cost effective solution

    We switched from Watchguard to SonicWALL because of the ease of use and everything was located in one place. At the time Watchguard was changing to force you to use a server to manage your VPNs, and we didn't see a reason to have to manage another product when it should have been able to do everything itself. SonicWALL met and exceeded our expectations.

    • While it is a good product, today there are several that exceed it in quality and functionality.
    • In a medium company it is correct, since the cost can be high for a smaller one and it is not worth it.
    • It is a basic product, compared to others of the same type
