Overall Satisfaction with Sophos Secure Email Gateways

Sophos Secure Email Gateway is protecting us and our customers, against huge threats like Ransomware (with effective rate) that travel mainly via email attachments. Its deployment is easy and its configuration is even easier. Let's keep in mind that the main protection against common threats is email protection. With Sophos Virus Definitions, the protection is higher than expected.
  • Easy deployment.
  • Excellent pre and post support service.
  • Good rate of threat detection
  • Graphic interface smoothness, a little bit hard to find advanced features.
  • Logs details and preview.
  • Support channel configuration for advanced support requirements.
  • The ROI is very fast, since today the main communication system is email so your downtime for threats over the network will be lower or zero.
  • The protection objective is well seen among co-workers and third party enablers.
  • You have better understanding and visualization of what your users and co-workers are sharing via email.
  • Barracuda
Deployment features, system stability and rate of threat protection are the main reasons I would go with Sophos Email Protection. Systems like Barracuda email protection seem nice, but the RBLs that they use could be stronger and perhaps use the "Cloud" information system more to be more up to date with new threats and spammers.
[Sophos Secure Email Gateways is well suited:] Whenever you have any internal email system to protect against viruses and spam. Advanced Data protection for your organization to be protected against data theft (via Email DLP). Encryption requirements for financial areas, where they need to share encrypted information across third parties.
