Clear and Easy-to-Navigate Interface: The product's clear and easy-to-navigate interface has received praise from many users. They have found it simple to understand and use, allowing them to quickly access the features they need.

Effective Email Scanning and Filtering Capabilities: Reviewers have mentioned that the product's inbound and outbound email scanning and filtering capabilities are highly effective. They appreciate how it stops emails of dubious origin and provides alerts on held emails, minimizing spam emails and protecting against phishing attacks.

Reliable Protection with Customization Options: Users have stated that the product provides reliable protection against various threats. They appreciate how end users can easily understand warnings and manage quarantined items. The ability to customize workflows, such as manually approving certain emails before release or automatically applying encryption for external messages, has been well-received.

Limited administration settings: Some users have mentioned that the administration of the product has fewer settings compared to other vendors, which may limit their ability to customize and fine-tune the product according to their specific needs.

Integration limitations: Several users have expressed concerns about the integration capabilities of the product. They feel that certain features such as AD Sync Integration and Synchronized Security Reporting could be improved to provide more flexibility and granularity. For example, they suggest allowing the selection of multiple OUs in AD Sync Integration and enabling reverse AD sync to remove users from Sophos when they are removed from Active Directory.

Lack of advanced features visibility: A number of reviewers have found it a bit challenging to locate advanced features within the product's interface. While they appreciate its smooth graphic interface, some users feel that more guidance or tips integrated into the user interface would be helpful in discovering and utilizing these advanced functionalities effectively.

Featurewise, stacks up well. Chosen for integration into other Sophos products, and additional data/insights provided across our entire Sophos estate.

Many other solutions are a complicated setup and take a lot of time for the configuration. With Sophos email we were setup and seeing data/emails within an hour. As I have described the ease of use from a high-level for someone like me a Director just peeking into the system or an analyst that can do a deep dive is one of the best users interfaces I have seen for any product.

I am not familiar with other products at this point. I came into the IT field using Sophos Reflexion and moved to the new Sophos Email Security once the option was available simply because of our experience with Reflexion. While using Reflexion, we encountered numerous examples of emails that, if we had not been using the product, would most likely have been delivered to our end users, likely resulting in a potential breach. We continue to choose Sophos as they grow their product and evolve their detection products and strategies.

I was not part of selecting Sophos for this organization. I would recommend a full POC before landing on this as your decision. Some things that you should test for are targeted credential harvesting sites, impersonation rules processing, and general consistency in the processing of SPAM, BULK, Malicious emails. I have had past experience with all three of the aforementioned platforms and all 3 greatly outperform Sophos in every aspect.

I have only tried Sophos Email, and I find it to be a very useful tool, as it protects against information leakage such as fraudulent emails, cloud sandboxing and quarantine, which are essential functions and the product works excellent.

We had tried Broadcom (formerly Message Labs). It lacks encryption, and the customer service and invoices were terrible. The console was outdated and not easy to navigate. We were limited to a few options and very basic options when it came to troubleshooting or managing users. For us it wasn't cost effective to keep this product, so we decided to switch.

My experience is mostly with Google's G-Suite spam filtering and, as an end user, a different spam filtering group (which I cannot remember at this time). Sophos Secure Email Gateways seems to be much better at keeping things out of my inbox than either of the other solutions. The only thing I didn't like was how the end user accesses their spam folder, Sophos requires an admin to release these.

Sophos is not head and shoulders above any of these competitors, as it's a very closely knit race. Security and email transmission security are one of the highest priorities out there in technology. The world is slowly moving forward, and all of these vendors are leading the pack to secure email transmission and prevent compromise. Sophos does a great job of scanning inbound and outbound email and protecting against threats.

MS Exchange has the capabilities of out of the box workflow (as described previously), however, we managed to customize Sophos to do semi-manual workflow which is still acceptable. And more the encryption methods of Sophos has been proven by us to be more suitable. And the anti-spam and phishing as well as the sandbox is also better than MS.

  • Barracuda
Deployment features, system stability and rate of threat protection are the main reasons I would go with Sophos Email Protection. Systems like Barracuda email protection seem nice, but the RBLs that they use could be stronger and perhaps use the "Cloud" information system more to be more up to date with new threats and spammers.
