Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Sophos Email protection to help us defend our users against the multitude of threats that are out in the modern world. Though we educate our users about the dangers and threats, we cannot rely on education alone. Sophos' email security options give our company peace of mind when it comes to email security.

Pros and Cons

The user interface is great!
The reliability is top notch!
My end users really appreciate the ease of use when it comes to warnings and quarantined items.

I would love to see tips integrated into the user interface from the management side to allow for easier dissection of email headers. This would allow lower level admins that may work at smaller companies to better understand the information presented.

Return on Investment

The reality is that no product is a one stop shop for complete protection. The user will always be a potential weak point in the system. With that said, Sophos' disclaimers have been a huge help as they can immediately make suspicious emails known with a few simple tags. That alone can create a sort of checkpoint for our users that takes them out of the dangerous 'autopilot' mode.

Alternatives Considered

I am not familiar with other products at this point. I came into the IT field using Sophos Reflexion and moved to the new Sophos Email Security once the option was available simply because of our experience with Reflexion. While using Reflexion, we encountered numerous examples of emails that, if we had not been using the product, would most likely have been delivered to our end users, likely resulting in a potential breach. We continue to choose Sophos as they grow their product and evolve their detection products and strategies.
