Considered Both Products	Webroot Email Security Powered by Zix MK Mark Knutson Manager of Information Security Chose Webroot Email Security Powered by Zix Proofpoint is a major player in this space, and I believe their product is overall superior to Webroot Email Security.

Verified User Professional Chose Webroot Email Security Powered by Zix I have never used another platform besides Zix, because when I was starting to look into it, I was asking other agencies that I saw their secure email with the Zix logo on the bottom, and they all highly recommended Zix, so I did not even need to look elsewhere.

User Testimonials
	Webroot Email Security Powered by Zix
Likelihood to Recommend	Webroot, an OpenText company 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. Incentivized MK Mark Knutson Manager of Information Security Read full review
Pros	Webroot, an OpenText company 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 DS Dane Spoelker IT Coordinator Read full review
Cons	Webroot, an OpenText company 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. Incentivized Danielle Yale System Administrator Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Webroot, an OpenText company It did delivers exactly what is needed, what was promised, is cost effective, and is incredibly easy to use and manage. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	Webroot, an OpenText company 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. Incentivized Jackie Moller System Administrator Read full review
Support Rating	Webroot, an OpenText company 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. Incentivized Robert Paul Technical Administrator Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Webroot, an OpenText company 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 Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	Webroot, an OpenText company 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 Verified User Anonymous Read full review
