Apparently secure website hosting and email. Perhaps could have some better background on common website features.

If you don't want to have any spam or malware in your mailbox, Symantec Email Security.cloud is the solution to choose. Also, if you need to have some security features, like DLP, it has them embedded!
We have also been using reporting a lot to see how many emails have been sent, where they delivered, and so on.

  • Outbound encryption could be improved to allow for advanced connections to other organizations' PKI keyservers.
  • The user interface could be a little more friendly, finding advanced features sometimes takes a little more time with hunting and clicking to get to the correct page.

In very tricky cases, it takes time to explain it to the support personnel as they don't get your problem from the first couple of emails.

Barracuda's ESS is the premier product, it boasts outbound email encryption as an included service as well as all of the security features of Symantec Email Security.cloud. Sophos is on the same level as SES.c but is not quite as feature rich.

Return on Investment
Lux Scientiae (LuxSci)
  • Cost-effective. I manage (poorly) multiple websites myself & with the help of Luxsci tech support.
  • Generally, things work.
  • I wish they had more info on what I think are common issues with websites or email.

  • Our previous solution was very manual. The ROI has been in less manual intervention from the admins and freeing up their already busy schedules.
