Zix provides trust for the business by making email encryption really easy, and our customers experience the same superior ease of use. AMGH's employees simply click send, and Zix takes care of the rest. Mail and outside customer ability to send to us securely through the ZixPort provide the necessary tools to send and receive emails securely.
  • Encryption
  • Communication with customers
  • Access to our data
  • None
Zix is ideally suited for organizations such as ours trying to ensure compliance with regulations and protect the privacy of customer data. Zix makes it easy to send data securely to our customers and any of our partners in protecting the data.

We have implemented the Zix gateway on all of our company's email accounts. We went with zix because it was an easy way of making sure that we are following HIPPA guidelines.
  • Scanning of emails takes out the issue of end user sending PHI out of their email accounts unintentionally.
  • Being able to maintain email history in our company email accounts protects us from future litigation.
  • Up time is great. Had only one issue of down time in the whole year. Down time was only a couple of hours.
  • Customer service is frustrating. With no company phone number to be able to call makes those moments with you have an emergency very stressful. No one wants to submit a ticket when you whole company's email system is broken.
If you have a company that is required to follow HIPPA compliance this is the product for you. It takes out the problems of end user mistakes. If your company doesn't need to comply with PHI or HIPPA compliance then this is just too much. We have liked this program.

Zix is being used across the organization for outgoing email only. Zix is being used for HIPPPA compliance with emails and appears to do a great job with the policies.
  • The base policies do a good job for catching most HIPPA compliance.
  • The Zix updates are straight forward and easy to install.
  • The user interface is difficult to understand for setting up new policies.
  • Would like more reporting abilities report on total outgoing messages. Right now I can only see like the top domain, top senders/receivers. I need to see total count going out from Zix.
Zix is well suited for the medical environment as it does a good job of not only encrypting medical data, but you can set policies for social security numbers, etc..

Zix is being used across the whole organization as our email encryption solution.
  • Encryption of email traffic by management and c-level staff for secure communication.
  • Encryption of documents for our legal staff.
  • Encryption of SSN, and credit card numbers for our collections department.
  • The UI needs some work. Some of the areas are not very intuitive and could use some improvement.
  • Some of the command line functionality should be integrated into the UI so each interface mirrors each other.
  • Better training for new users on the features and functionality. The training I received was lacking and left me with more questions than answers.

We started off using Zix as standalone clients for certain departments like execs and HR. We moved to a Zix Gateway solution so that any email that matches certain lexicons will be flagged to be encrypted as they're going out. HR still uses the client so they can encrypt internal emails if needed. The main issue we've encountered really isn't our issue, it's more out of our control. Outside users who receive Zix encrypted emails are leery to log in and create a Zix login as they may not be familiar with it. Also, encrypted emails are only kept for 30 days and are deleted afterward and if users haven't checked it by then they will not know what the email was about.
  • Zix comes preset with certain conditions/lexicons that capture most "private" info like SSNs, credit card numbers, medical records, etc. They can be customized further and also use "definitions" similar to antivirus software that can be updated. It can also be set to read a certain word or phrase in the subject or body that will automatically encrypt an outgoing email. Once set up, it is transparent.
  • Outside users who send Zix encrypted emails to us automatically will get unencrypted at our gateway so there's nothing our internal end users need to do. It is transparent bi-directionally.
  • Without the need for a Zix client to be installed, there's less "PC touching" and the benefits of encrypting email are corporate-wide. Licensing becomes easier as there's no need to re-license hundreds of individual clients, just the gateway.
  • The initial setup may be a bit tricky for companies that are not well-versed in the way internet-routed email works.
  • A way to automatically, NOT automatically encrypt an email if you didn't want to. The way to do this is a bit cumbersome at the moment.
  • Reporting is a bit kludgy. If there was a dashboard to be able to easily pluck out individual emails that would be a nice feature. Of course, Zix may have this already but I'm not aware if it was installed or if it's an add-on.
ZIx is especially useful in commerce and healthcare where a lot of sensitive information, like credit cards, social security numbers, and medical records, are sent via email. It wouldn't be suitable for small business as the complexity and the cost would outweigh the benefits...in which case the client install is more appropriate if email encryption is desired.
