Al Biastre IT Director in Information Technology at Family Service of Rhode Island (Non-profit Organization Management, 201-500 employees) Chose Sophos Email Sophos is better than the McAfee email gateway. Depending on which license for Defender you have it could be better or worse. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Sophos Email I was not part of selecting Sophos for this organization.

Yolanda Garcia Ventas in Sales at Next Genesis (Computer & Network Security, 1-10 employees) Chose Sophos Email 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. Incentivized Helpful? David Orellana IT Network Specialist in Information Technology at Wood's Homes (Mental Health Care, 201-500 employees) Chose Sophos Email We had tried Broadcom (formerly Message Labs). It lacks encryption, and the customer service and invoices were terrible. The console was outdated and not easy to navigate. We were limited to a few options and very basic options when it came to troubleshooting or managing users. … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Sophos Email My experience is mostly with Google's G-Suite spam filtering and, as an end user, a different spam filtering group (which I cannot remember at this time).

Derek Schroeder Service Manager in Information Technology at Kloud9 (Information Technology and Services, 11-50 employees) Chose Sophos Email Sophos is not head and shoulders above any of these competitors, as it's a very closely knit race.

User Testimonials
	Sophos Email
Likelihood to Recommend	Sophos Sophos Email is ideal for protecting business email from advanced threats. It comes with features that make it easy to detect and block email threats, such as spam, phishing, ransomware, and data leaks. In addition, Sophos Email is ideal for email encryption and helps train teams to identify phishing threats. Incentivized Junias Codjia IT Manager Read full review
Pros	Sophos 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 Incentivized Verified User Read full review
Cons	Sophos 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. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Sophos 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. Incentivized David Orellana IT Network Specialist Read full review
Usability	Sophos 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. Incentivized Patrick Disney Information Technology Manager Read full review
Support Rating	Sophos 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. Verified User Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Sophos Many other solutions are a complicated setup and take a lot of time for the configuration. With Sophos email we were setup and seeing data/emails within an hour. As I have described the ease of use from a high-level for someone like me a Director just peeking into the system or an analyst that can do a deep dive is one of the best users interfaces I have seen for any product. Incentivized Andrew Figura Director of Information Technology Read full review
Return on Investment	Sophos AI-powered email threat prevention ensures that no threats reach our email system, preventing data contamination. The BEC defense ensures our business reputation remain in place. URL protection protects our users from clicking on malicious links that would otherwise compromise our email systems. Ability to encrypt emails keeps our email data secure which a plus. Incentivized Philips Ngiga Employee Relations Manager Read full review
