What differentiates Sophos Email from other similar products?

Sophos Secure Email Gateway stands out from the general email security features, with the multiple layers of security that it provides: threats are blocked right away from accessing the network, making it the perfect tools for email protection. The three layers (vaporize/quarantine/flag) makes spam and virus handling and management very easy, while at the same time meeting IT security compliance requirements.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I love the outbound email auditing, for it is as important to us to keep not only our infrastructure but that of our clients secured. The ability to recover emails also is really great, in all cases.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The Sophos Secure Email Gateway require an IT team to configure or at least to monitor the metrics and results, and validate the appropriate measures. Higher pricing also is a factor to consider.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

The Sophos Secure Email Gateway is the state-of-the-art protection for emails services. I recommend to businesses in the finance, cybersecurity and any industry where a high level of data and email protection is compulsory.
