Symantec Email Security.cloud

Google Workspace

This product is implemented at several of my clients and in use as their Antispam system. It works as a cloud filtering system that scans and quarantines email prior to it reaching user mailboxes.

Product Usage

Pros and Cons

Filtering system is very strong, more often than not blocks bad email.
Does fine job filtering and configuring content filtering for extension types such as ZIP or RAR.
Intermediary between Internet and email system provides extra layer of security including ability to spool email in the event of an email system outage.
Outbound encryption feature is very useful for security purposes.

Things done well

The onsite appliances have end-of-life forcing an upgrade to new unit.
Many of the appliances have been end-of-life and seems McAfee may not be offering the service in the future.

Things done poorly

Comparable to a Barracuda email appliance, these units retain email that is quarantined as well as provide cloud layer to support it.  It is best suited for a medium size company as the devices are often not as scalable as Barracuda.

The end-of-life of appliances is unfortunate as it forces a purchase of a replacement unit. Barracuda devices have a 4-year refresh cycle so purchasing additional hardware is rarely necessary.
McAfee seems to be phasing out the service over time.

Return on Investment

Barracuda provides two product options, the ESS cloud-only filtering, and onsite Email Security Gateway appliances.  Unless compliance needs require the on-premises device, the ESS option easily beats the McAfee Email Gateway.
