    This appliance is well suited for organizations that have a need to monitor, moderate, or log social networking site use or the use of any website. It is a very solid tool for any information security department to have at their disposal.

    Pros
    Smarsh
    • Discovery: It allows for easy discoveries by the compliance and cyber security departments.
    • Ethical walls: This keeps certain departments from talking to each other.
    • Very granular control. This is a big product meaning you can get very detailed with it.
    • Once it's configured and running, we hardly ever have any issues.

    • The Outlook Add-In broke several systems during use.
    • There are many changes to the account reps and engineers assigned to us. As a result, we lost touch with Tessian.
    • Lack of knowledge and help from Support during times when the Add-In was disrupting users.

    Pretty straight forward for the users and admins. Some terminology takes a little time to learn for the admin, functionally seems rock solid.

    This was the only appliance of its kind that I have used. Other devices have different capabilities for web filtering such as the checkpoint firewalls, but none of them offered the overall solution that was deployed with this product at that time.

    Egress is a very capable product, likely on-par with Tessian as a fraction of the cost. I will be giving them a deep review this year
