We are using Webroot Advanced Email Encryption powered by Zix to ensure secure email exchanges. Email is an important channel of communication for the exchange of sensitive information and with the rise of spam and phishing attacks in the last couple of years, we went ahead with the software to create a secure channel of communication.

We implemented a trial of Webroot to send encrypted email while evaluating multiple products for the same solution and after an evaluation, we decided to continue with our current providers which are Biscom, Mimecast, and Egress - the end-users can send an encrypted communication through Biscom or Mimecast Secure Messaging and our users that tried Zix/Webroot preferred Biscom or Mimecast as they offered better ease of use (though the IT Team did prefer Webroot)

It is an overall pretty good product, just like the rest of the products Webroot offers. Use once in a while for sending emails but primarily set it up for clients to use, especially for the ones that need encryption when they send emails with confidential information. It is mainly used by clients that need it for HIPPA compliance.

We are using Zix across our organization to encrypt our secure business email and to provide seamless secure email between us and the hospital in which we practice, which also uses Zix. The software also has the option to force encryption by adding the word secure in an email subject line. It can also automatically encrypt using keyword filters.

Zix keeps our entire agency confident that we remain HIPAA compliant in our email practices. While there are many options out there for email encryption, I prefer Zix due to how easy it is to use for my staff and, even more so, how easy it is for our outgoing recipients to use. Other encryption services require the use of one-time passcodes and processes that can be difficult to manage. With Zix, we do not have those troubles. I highly recommend this product for agencies in the social services and nonprofit sectors.

Zix email encryption is a tool that our organization uses to send and receive sensitive information securely. We have many departments that utilize Zix, the main department being Medical Records. Zix provides a platform for us to send PHI to third parties that need the information to provide our patient's proper care. In the medical field, security is a necessity and Zix helps us comply with all the regulations.

We are using Zix across our entire organization. The heavy users for the product are our Police, Fire, and HR Departments. With having to send sensitive data to other organizations this was the solution for us. We chose Zix because we were looking for an email encryption solution that did not break the budget but that still covered the minimum Security requirements.

We use Zix as a way to send encrypted emails to keep PHI and other sensitive data secure when being sent to via email. We currently have it deployed at a company level but only a few departments actually utilize it. We chose to deploy it company wide to make sure we don't have anyone that accidentally sends PHI via email without it being encrypted. The nice thing about Zix is that you can deploy it company-wide but only pay for those users that actually utilized the encryption that month. This helps keep the overall cost down.

Zix is currently being used across the whole organization. It allows us, a health care organization, a means of securing our communications to ensure that users do not send PHI in an insecure manner. The system currently enforces encryption based on a number of policies. Some policies enforce automatic encryption, where others allow users to encrypt on demand. We are currently using Zix's cloud hosted offering, but we had a Zix server in-house for years.

My company uses Zix for email encryption. Almost five years ago, we acquired a federal grant which required the handling of certain Personally Identifiable Information for clients of a program that the grant funds. The grant required additional data security measures including email encryption for emails that contain PII data for these clients. We selected Zix after evaluating several options and based on a trusted reseller's advice.

Zix is currently being used by the Business Department to share confidential information with our financial institutions. We are also using it in IT when we need to communicate credentials with our partners. It has solved the business problem of needing to transfer information through email securely.

Zix is deployed globally across all our users and departments. First NBC Bank uses Zix to secure email between our clients and bankers. We have the solution integrated with our DLP solution to look for sensitive information and transparently encrypt email. We rely on the transparent TLS encryption, but the solution can also fall back to a traditional portal solution where the recipient must create a username and password.

Zix is used to either explicitly encrypt emails through a keyword in the subject line or implicitly encrypt emails based on heuristics that look at the content of the message. It is used across our healthcare organization to protect patient privacy as required by HIPAA and other government regulation.

Our business unit is a HIPAA covered entity and we needed a secure mail platform in order to remain compliant. This is just for our business unit and some Corporate HR and Financial teams at this point, but it will probably roll out globally in the next year or so.

We use Zix as our mobile email app for our entire organization, as well as for ad hoc encryption needs. It helps solve our issue on dealing with BYOD. In addition, it provides us with means to send secure messages when necessary to our partners, with minimal impact to them. Zix is one of the easiest solutions we found while being attractively priced.

We leverage Zix as our enterprise solution for email encryption, threat protection and email archiving. IT solves any of our concerns or issues pertaining to encrypting sensitive emails, archiving email and safeguarding/filtering our incoming emails to the cooperation. It serves as our standard for email encryption and provides a solution for us to communicate externally in a secure manner.

We use Zix everyday and throughout our organization. We are a Title Escrow Service and heavily communicate detailed non-public financial information with real estate buyers, sellers, agents, and lenders. We looked at countless solutions which were not able to serve our needs. Many were not very useable by customers. Most were too cumbersome for our agents to manage complex communication threads. Zix is also used by our largest clients, making even greater usability. It has been performing very well for several years

We use the ZixGateway to monitor outbound email and securely encrypt on demand, or based on policy, email containing confidential or electronic Patient Health Information (ePHI) ensuring HIPAA compliant email communications. We also use the ZixOne MDM product to sandbox corporate email on mobile devices.
