User Testimonials
	N-able Mail Assure	Symantec Messaging Gateway
Likelihood to Recommend	N-able SolarWinds Mail Assure is well suited to medium and large sized organizations that need a configurable and flexible mail filter. It is likely to not be appropriate for marketing firms that want a set it and forget it sort of filter that needs no adjustment. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Broadcom It is very well suited for an organization that wants to protect inbound email and use just one product. It may be less appropriate for an organization that is small or has a limited IT support staff. Incentivized Steve P IT LAN Administrator Read full review
Pros	N-able Spam filtering Adaptive learning for security Incentivized CM chris maddox Senior Consultant Read full review	Broadcom Prevents SPAM attacks. Filters email based on content. Blocks phishing links. Blocks ransomware links/attacks. Incentivized Steve P IT LAN Administrator Read full review
Cons	N-able SMTP scanning trips some spam filters. Releasing a quarantined spam email often requires admin intervention. Console access is cumbersome for end users. Incentivized HM Howard Magnes Senior I.T. Manager Read full review	Broadcom The web interface can be difficult at times. Incentivized Steve P IT LAN Administrator Read full review
Support Rating	N-able The support has been rock solid, easy to communicate with, and highly knowledgable. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Broadcom No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	N-able We have used a few mail security options, including SpamStopsHere. Mail Assure is easier to manage and adapts as it learns the email traffic and patterns that come into the company. We use most of the SolarWinds suite, including MSPManager, N-central, Passportal, and Endpoint Security. We have been happy with their products and they are always quick to respond to their support tickets. Incentivized CM chris maddox Senior Consultant Read full review	Broadcom Without mentioning some of the other products by name, I can tell you that Symantec Messaging Gateway is one of the best. Incentivized Steve P IT LAN Administrator Read full review
Return on Investment	N-able It cut down on the amount of spam we get. It can differentiate a email box from an alias attached so it must be specified to keep from being billed. Incentivized HM Howard Magnes Senior I.T. Manager Read full review	Broadcom It would be difficult to determine the exact ROI Symantec Messaging Gateway had on your overall business. However, I can assure you the downtime suffered due to inbound email threats has been reduced to nearly zero in our environment. If IT isn't chasing down ransomware/phishing issues and users aren't staring at a quarantined PC, life is good. There are no negative impacts on ROI that I can think of.
