Alternatives Considered

Cisco Secure Email

Cisco has a strong competitor with Avanan although the immense suite of Cisco products brings strong competition. Avanan's strength lies in rapidity to implement and ease of use which more established players are less able to do, due to a lack of agility. Avanan has a promising future in front of them.
