Overall Satisfaction with Sophos Email

We use it for email filtering, DLP and email encryption.
  • Blocking specified file types as attachments
  • Allowing users to release quarantined emails
  • They are adding new features at a decent pace
  • Portal encryption. Outside users are not able to reply to everyone on the email chain. They can only reply to the person who sent the email.
  • You cannot control which mailboxes are licensed.
  • Email filtering. A lot of spam emails and spoofed emails tend to get through. This has gotten better recently with a slider that allows you to specify how aggressive the system is.
  • Encryption
  • DLP
  • Anti-spam and Malware
  • Reducing risk of email attacks
Sophos is better than the McAfee email gateway. Depending on which license for Defender you have it could be better or worse.

Would you buy Sophos Email again?

No

The price point for this solution is attractive and they are improving it. However, I would be hesitant to recommend it at this time. We have been using this solution for about 2 and half years and for most of that time we have not been overly impressed with it. As I mentioned they are making noticeable improvements.
