PhishProtection vs. Sophos Email

The companies who have to deal with a lot of stuff must not
have time to figure out threats containing emails and should go for Phish
Protection in order to make themselves protected and to assure protection for
their company’s important and essential data. as it has made it permissible for
us to get rid of malicious attacks it has become our necessity in order to get
a safe environment. But its high price might not be suitable for a lot of
companies.

The Sophos email solution is a good fit for my organization which is a mid-size resort with 200 users. Sophos email has revealed unwanted emails that were getting through our built in Microsoft email security scanning and policies so having this extra layer was a no brainier. With that we were able to focus on the bad stuff and even tweak our products with this information from Sophos email.

• Implementation is not much time-consuming and doesn't require an IT guy.
• Reports are quite helpful.
• Using its blocklist we can block suspicious emails.
• It is highly advanced and is effective against advanced threats too like Malware and ransomware.

• We could customize it to have a certain level of workflow. We manage to enforce certain email (based on key-phrases) to be quarantined before send it to the recipient. And the email needs to be approved (manually) before being released.
• For certain type (using regex) of email, we will encrypt it if it's sent outside our organization domain.
• Scalable

• Sometimes it takes a little longer to detect threats maybe it was because of some problem on our side because it happens seldom.
• I don’t like its rate and should be decreased to make it more feasible.

• I would love to see tips integrated into the user interface from the management side to allow for easier dissection of email headers. This would allow lower level admins that may work at smaller companies to better understand the information presented.

It was easy to use and easy to implement. You don't need previous knowledge on the products, after we got this up and running, it took us hours to put everything together. The transition was easy and seamless.

It's mostly great and for policies and features, it does everything we would ask it to and more. The only thing keeping it from being a 10 is the lack of granularity in the reporting, which is actually an issue within Sophos Central as a whole. The ability to drill down from dashboards into accurate, detailed data would be very helpful at times.

Support is slow to respond. They call back outside of normal business hours despite clearly being advised when they should call. They try to BS you that the platform is working properly although there is hard evidence to the contrary. Once you get to senior level of support they agree that the product is incapable of performing properly in its current iteration.

I have only tried Sophos Email, and I find it to be a very useful tool, as it protects against information leakage such as fraudulent emails, cloud sandboxing and quarantine, which are essential functions and the product works excellent.

• Our email boxes are threats free.
• This tool paid us off within a short time by providing us with everything we were in search of.
• Effective against Phishing, ransomware, spam, and other viruses.

• Sophos Email has been protecting our users, including the administrative branch, who are the target of attacks most frequently.
• Every month Sophos Email stops about 100,000 malicious emails. We calculate that if these attacks have saved the company time, it prevents us from having a lot of support staff to attend to the cases.
