EdgeWave ePrism Email Security is used by our entire organization for the detection and removal of spam email and other unwanted emails with viruses or other security threatening attachments. From a security standpoint email is one of the most vulnerable security risks in an organization due to the high volume of traffic as well as the high potential risk of users interacting with email that can result in viruses or maleware that can severely impact an organization. EdgeWave mitigates some of this risk by pre-filtering for these type of problems.
- Email notification of potential issues with incoming email including a nice overview of what was blocked and why.
- Options are provided to view, release, block or white-list specific domains.
- Reports can be generated for administrators to view the overall stance of Edgewave services.
Cons
- More information could be available in the email notification that reports when email was blocked.
- While trying to work with an application that sends email it can be difficult to determine why the email was not received if blocked by EdgeWave unless a check of their dashboard is made since notifications cannot be scheduled more than once daily.
- The option to have reports sent more frequently is a much needed feature.

- Great way to help secure emails and keep customers from clicking on potentially threatening content.
- Increased security footprint by detecting malware and viruses that could pose security issues for an organization.
- Decrease lot of time spent tracking email problems and attachments.
EdgeWave ePrism Email Security is very similar to other programs such as Barracuda, SonicWall, or Proofpoint. I have used some of these other products in the past and I can't say that any of them do anything better or significantly different from EdgeWave so I believe all would provide similar protection. EdgeWave was the product chosen before I started working at my current employer and I don't have any compelling reason to change.
