    I think SecureMail is showing its age -- it is based on the Voltage product that HPE purchased a few years ago and hasn't really been updated since then substantially. Its documentation and web portal aren't as useful as some of the other products, and Zix has better DLP …

    Larger corporations that require identity-based encryption would benefit from the product. Smaller corporations that want a more feature-rich product with a better user experience would not benefit as much

    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.

    Cons
    OpenText
    • Its web-portal is pretty bare bones, unlike some competitors that are more feature-rich
    • Its documentation is also voluminous, making it hard to find something since it is spread across multiple manuals for particular features.
    • It doesn't support IMAP connections, unlike some of its competitors.

    • 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.

    FPE, which was one of the reasons for the technology and capability across large organisations made it a very easy decision. Reference customers throughout the world across FinTec's. The new cloud service models are really interesting. the amount of value in their R & D teams.

    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.

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