Webroot Email Security Powered by Zix

Formerly Zix Email Threat Protection

I have already recommended Zix to a number of our coworkers in the home healthcare industry, and a number of those coworkers also use Zix, which makes it quite simple to connect with one another. Because it pertains to health care, which is an industry in which it is vital to maintain confidentiality and sensitivity, we also utilize it within our own organization to communicate with one another.

Our most common use of Zix is to send emails, and it's quite simple to do so. I'm not sure how to log in to the Zix homepage and obtain the data that way because that's a new step for me. To be honest, I've never had the urge to do so, and I'm not sure what it has to offer in that regard.

We have the encryption piece as well as email filtering and they are very superior products compared to others I have used in the past. They have an Outlook plugin to send encrypted mail. Works very well. The plugin is very simple to install. We have it set up for all of our users.

Older interface was difficult to find what you wanted. New interface is a dramatic improvement. Very well thought out for the end user. Very intuitive and easy to find what you are looking for.

Zix is great. In our organization, we have some staff that are very techy and some where technology is a struggle. Zix just works. End users can send emails and Zix scans and quarantines emails if needed. Staff and IT admins are alerted, IT can review the message, and staff has the ability to self-release (if configured that way).

After reviewing several other vendors/solutions. Zix is an incredible cloud-hosted solution, so no need to have a server onsite. Customer service has been great on setting up the initial ruleset, and the few times we needed some additional help on pulling reports.

Reporting is also great on Zix. You can track messages, see if a message was read (if using the secure portal), expire the message, etc.

Zix gets a perfect 10 out of 10. End users can just work. With our previous solution, staff would have to determine if a message had sensitive information and then send it securely. Zix scans each message and ensures that the message does not fail into one of the pre-defined rulesets.

Very well suited and painless with their email encryption solution for small businesses and medium sized organizations like the one I work for. I can't imagine there would be any issues with even larger organizations either. Also their spam filtering works great for the same small/medium organizations. I'm not sure how well it would translate to larger organizations.

Zix has top-notch customizability with the way emails can be encrypted. It can be configured to add a button to Outlook, to encrypted with a subject keyword, to encrypt automatically based on types of information in an email, and it works with Outlook, and with the Office365 Outlook Web Application. The interfaces, both with encryption and spam filtering are well designed and incredibly intuitive for the admin team to use also.

It did delivers exactly what is needed, what was promised, is cost effective, and is incredibly easy to use and manage.

Great, knowledgeable, fast, friendly, definitely an on the ball team.

While I was not fully involved in the overall Zix solution implementation for the company, I do know that it went better as expected for our large-scale infrastructure; evidently the user database integration was done through an incremental approach in order to reduce the impact on operation environments and most users were informed about the change in order to monitor for any deployment issues. I think this would be even easier on short-scale implementation.

The different pages and controls have a feeling of the bare minimum to them as if the GUI was done without too much effort. This doesn't mean that this solution isn't very capable, on the contrary, but it is sometimes hard to leverage its full potential due to its poor layout making it not very intuitive to use. Very customizable but not so user-friendly.
