Trustwave MailMarshal vs. WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection

In a medium company, it is suited since the cost can be high for a smaller one.

I think there are better and more complete products for companies with higher volume or levels of confidentiality. While it is a good product, today there are several that exceed it in quality and functionality.

If you're looking for basic signature-based anti-virus at a reasonable price, F-Secure Protection for Business could be a good choice. It does a good job for anti-virus but doesn't include the more advanced features of more expensive products like intrusion detection, forensics, and protection of zero day exploits. It may work well in combination with other tools.

Incentivized

• By having the physical appliance, it is more granular the control that is had of the users, which also accelerates the speed of detection of threats.
• The few options of DLP that it has are very useful when filtering sensitive data, but I stress "few".
• The interface is intuitive, but for more advanced options, it requires a higher than average knowledge of these systems.

Incentivized

• Anti-virus (classic signature-based). This is a classic anti-virus tool without some of the fancy bells and whistles of more expensive products.
• Real-time protection. The product can do filesystem scheduled scans as well as real-time analysis of files.
• Browser protection. It comes with a decent browser plugin that can block access to malicious sites.

Incentivized

• I know it is not a DLP since there is another specific product for it, but they could do it just a little easier for the average user.
• An intuitive interface in a broader aspect, not only in the basic functions.
• The option only in the cloud is good, but only the appliance offers all the functionalities.

Incentivized

• It does not provide "next gen" features like zero day protection, forensics, intrusion detection and analysis.
• The management interface is clunky and difficult to use.
• Real-time protection and firewall services can interfere with legitimate activities at times and make it difficult to troubleshoot.

Incentivized

Unfortunately all these products are better in almost all aspects. It is not to discredit the Trustwave, but they have much to improve in this area.

Incentivized

F-Secure stacks up very well against competitors like McAfee and Norton. Cost is very reasonable, performance is great, and it does as good (or better) a job of these more well-known products. F-Secure particularly works well for non-profits looking to negotiate for a more reasonable rate.

Incentivized

• While it is a good product, today there are several that exceed it in quality and functionality.
• In a medium company it is correct, since the cost can be high for a smaller one and it is not worth it.
• It is a basic product, compared to others of the same type

Incentivized

• Positive - very generous discounts for non-profits make this inexpensive compared to other products.
• F-Secure has caught some (but not all) malware incidents on our workstations, which have saved us time and money.
• The cost/benefit ratio is very high. For what you're getting, this is a reasonably priced product.
