SpamTitan Email Security vs. Symantec Messaging Gateway

For business email protection, I recommend SpamTitan Email Security. It comes with anti-phishing, ransomware protection, anti-spam, and virus protection features. All these features will keep your business email system safe from email threats that would otherwise affect your business operations.

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.

We selected SpamTitan many years ago, so nothing sticks out as to why we selected them versus the competition. They have been very good since then so we have not evaluated the competition recently.

Without mentioning some of the other products by name, I can tell you that Symantec Messaging Gateway is one of the best.

Incentivized

• We keep our email system threat proof. This lets us focus on what matters to our business.
• We are able to encrypt emails and this is a plus when it comes to privacy.

• 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.
