OpenText™ Core Email Threat Protection vs. Tessian Cloud Email Security Platform

I think that Webroot Email Security is good for small-medium sized businesses who are on a budget for email security. They actually have a great encryption system for outbound email, and so if you bundle those together then it puts everything in the same pane of glass and that is nice. Over the last few years this company was purchased by OpenText, and I have seen some improvements because of that, but this product is not innovating like other emails solutions based on new threats that are emerging. I would say if you have a relatively low volume of inbound email, then this solution would suffice.

Tessian Cloud Email Security is well suited for anyone that can afford it. Email is the gateway for the bad guys and having as much security and protection as possible is critical

• Makes it easy for those receiving emails to create an account and retrieve the email.
• Peace of mind knowing emails are secure, and can be tracked.
• Monitoring inbound email threats is easy.
• Support has been very quick resolving or explaining support tickets I've created.

Incentivized

• simplicity
• plug-and-play
• low-hassle

• The admin interface seems a bit shabby. It's time for a refresher course.
• Being able to modify our own security word without having to contact Zix.
• Users may not enjoy needing to log in to access messages through the secure site.

• 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.

It did delivers exactly what is needed, what was promised, is cost effective, and is incredibly easy to use and manage.

It is much simpler to configure and operate in comparison to other anti-spam applications. Zix's customer usage is comparable to that of other spam filters on the market; but, in terms of convenience of use, Zix comes out on top. Daily delivery of logs is provided, and the user is not required to sign in order for an email to be sent.

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

Zix is very good about response times and information. They even proactively e-mail us about known issues. I have never had an issue go unresolved, and the support team tends to answer quickly unless it's a strange, complicated request. The only time that happened was doing a search through logs, and that was entirely on me and my unfamiliarity with their flavor of Linux.

Cost is competitive, but factoring in Office licensing really made sense for my organization. Cost is lower for more features - I was able to move to Zix and get the top of the line package, moving from a mid-tier product at a competitor. Workflows and process have improved, and the filter is more accurate than our previous filter

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

• Protecting patient information
• Users have to complete an account setup in order to view the encrypted email in a portal. Other platforms just let you open the email without having to setup an account.
• Pretty easy to use if you don't make many customizations to it.

Incentivized

• provides additional email security protections for inbound and outbound
• Helps prevent the mis-direction of outbound email
