Overall Satisfaction with Sophos Web Content Filtering

We use Sophos to filter out emails that may be spam or scams. We receive emails twice a day letting us know which emails have been quarantined, and we have the option to release them to our inbox or delete them from the platform entirely. We are also able to block email addresses that we know are nefarious.
  • Allowing options: I am able to choose from several different options (release, release and allow, delete, block, block and report to Spam)
  • Warning labels: emails have labels at the top to define if an email is from a trusted sender or the email is from an external sender and may not be trusted. I can block those emails, if I choose to
  • Quarantine emails: I appreciate the 2x daily emails detailing which emails have been quarantined, and if I would like to release them or delete them
  • Almost too good: Sophos may quarantine several emails at first that it doesn't know are important, but I am able to allow those email addresses to my inbox
  • Individual email addresses: sometimes I would like Sophos to allow email domains rather than specific addresses; if I have a few different people who email me from the same domain, I have to allow each individual address
  • Allowing email addresses throughout company: when I release and allow an email address, it just allows it to come to my inbox; each member of my company will have to go in and allow the same address to their inbox
  • Quarantine dashboard: I like visiting the quarantine dashboard to make my choice on what to do with the emails
  • Quarantine emails: it is nice to receive emails to let me know when emails have been quarantined
  • Labels: the warning labels on emails after I've released them, remind me to be careful with certain emails
  • Less wasted time: people aren't wasting time on an email if it's a scam anymore
  • Fewer scam emails: since I've been able to block emails, I receive fewer scam emails quarantined trying to steal money from the company
  • Spending time as I should: it allows me to focus time on real emails rather than trying to figure out if something is a scam
I haven't used any other platforms similar to Sophos Web Content Filtering.

Before Sophos, I would receive scammers regarding tradeshow lists. People wanted me to pay for lists, but these people weren't actually from the tradeshows. I can now block those, and have received much fewer of those scams.

I am also able to open emails within quarantine to view them before deleting, releasing, allowing, or blocking. I use this to my advantage, and am able to make better decisions on what to do with the emails.
