Microsoft
It's definitely best for customers. If your main collaboration tools are hosted on Microsoft 365, and your company uses M365, this is a no-brainer. So this integrates pretty nicely with all Microsoft applications. So it becomes a no-brainer to go with this. Less appropriate would be like if you already are using another solution to do classification, I would still stick to Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention being that classification, but if you want to use it in the scenarios where you already have a tool and you're classifying documents, data, using that tool and you want Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention just to label and apply protection documents that is also supported, but the comprehensiveness, the end-to-end story would still be missing if you're investigating an incident.

Zix integrates well with Google Workspace to work seamlessly and behind the scenes. Whole message encryption (including attachments) can be programmed with a keyword or phrase in the subject line. Our staff finds that relatively easy to do. Plus, if our staff forget to add the keyword to encrypt the message, all messages are scanned for sensitive information and encrypted anyway. Great safeguard!

Pros
Microsoft
  • The ability to create groups of people that would access a certain label, having been able to organize the data access to the document access, and protecting repositories with the same level of criticality, regardless of where they're located in the company. That's quite good because we had a lot of document distribution, and it helped provide the same layer of protection regardless of where they're stored.
  • The other good thing is that it provided traceability of what was going on with the label. So I could understand how many people were trying to access a document that weren't meant to. So it gave me an idea of how well protection was working, not only because people who did have access accessed it, but also I could trace that people who didn't have access couldn't do it.

  • Zix scans outbound emails for personal financial information and encrypts accordingly.
  • Zix scans outbound emails for health information and encrypts accordingly.
  • Zix has an easy end-user interface enabling users to release false-positive encrypted emails without encryption and requiring the end-user to leave an explanation for why the email was released without encryption, therefore, leaving an audit trail.
  • Zix was very easy to implement on our email domain with a few clicks of the mouse.

Cons
Microsoft
  • I'd say over the last couple of years, there have been some great advancements in Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention, so I really do like that. I think some of the challenges I see with Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention today are in the first-party world; it does provide some real-time capabilities, but the alerting on DLP has a big lag. And some of our customers, actually, one of my customers in particular, whom I advise heavily, ran into a situation where they were getting hours of delays when they were getting critical, sensitive alerts. So being able to provide that in a more real-time way for both internal use within Microsoft and for third-party products, I think, would be significantly impactful. E-share, as a platform, also uses DLP in order to automate our policy, as I mentioned before. And some of that is a challenge because some of the capabilities we do need real-time information for aren't exposed to us based on the current capabilities that Firmy provides.

  • There are so many functions available, I'm not sure if the deficiencies we see are actually with Zix or our lack of knowledge. So this in itself is a weakness.
  • Zix has had a lot of issues recently with outages. They've been remedied quickly, but there have been quite a few.

It has almost perfectly surpassed all of our requirements, and interactions their people are a delight. We expect to continue using Zix to provide streamlined encrypted document delivery and for sensitive communications. It is also helpful that many lending institutions are standardized on the platform, making the high level of interaction that we have be as seamless as possible.

Usability
Microsoft
Just because it's so easy to navigate and, for the most part, even areas that I don't know about, the support channels are very clear and concise, and they respond very quickly to whatever I need. They'll guide me through whatever I don't understand, and sometimes there are a lot of things added in there.

From an admin side I believe that the portals need to be combined into one main web based portal. This would make it easier to access for admins when setting up policies and trying to view reports. That is the one area I would say Zix is not so easy to use. However, for the end user I believe the product is great as they really have little involvement.

The availability of Zix has been very good. We have never had an outage due to an issue with the Zix portal or service. They plan their upgrades for off hours and do a good job of communicating any planned upgrades or outages well in advance. Zix has always been available when we need it.

there is no lag in transferring large encrypted documents. Real Estate transactions are horribly time sensitive and stressful. Zix performs flawlessly. It is always there, always responds without delay. It is probably dark magic.

I give it the high rating due to the fact support will be rarely needed. Zix documentation is pretty solid, clear, and helpful. When contacted, Zix did a good job in resolving the issues and we were able to move forward without any issues on the zix side. The app is easy to use, and again requires little support.

The training is very thorough and well individualized for our application. It was done online with the trainer on telephone.I felt that they were truly interested in my success, and provided resources for follow up. The trainer was easily understood with thorough knowledge of the product and giving helpful advice for implementation.

The online training we received from Zix was very good. They did a good job of walking us through the entire setup process and also provided good documentation as a reference. It was valuable because we worked directly with our configuration and portal during the training. We weren't just working with a hypothetical example.

Zix was already implemented when I started. I migrated our Zix to the cloud version years later. Zix support did a great job assisting me in moving to the cloud. They worked with me the entire way, and it was a painless process. Moving to the cloud was a great recommendation. They were really thinking of our best interests.

Symantec or now? Brocom. Forcepoint, GPV. I'm trying to think of, there's a couple more. I can't think of the top of my head. I would say closer to the bottom then rather than the top. So because of the fact that yes, it integrates well. But in terms of the actual functionality of DLP, there are other requirements that they just don't have the features for yet.

We wanted something that was common in our industry so our clients and partners would understand it. We also wanted an email encryption system that was policy-based so our users didn't have to do anything to ensure private information was well-protected. Zix fits the bill in both instances.

  • We've saved potentially millions of dollars in compliance fines by using Zix. The amount of HIPAA information that gets sent by email is staggering and prior to deploying Zix we were unprotected. The level of assurance and auditing trail is awesome and provides incredible value.
  • While many email users were at first inconvenienced they've come to appreciate the protection they received from the service because people often make mistakes when sending emails about the sensitivity of the information they are sharing they feel they have a safety net with Zix that is keeping them out of harm's way.
