Likelihood to Recommend

From my experience, Cisco Secure Email is well suited when I need to send a secure email to an outside recipient. Cisco Secure Email is great for sending email attachments that contain important information that you want to be encrypted. I have used it for years, and I have not had issues with it. The Cisco Secure Email is less appropriate when you need to provide it for many users, which can become costly.
