Agari Phishing DefenseSophos Email
Likelihood to Recommend
I've experienced clicking some of the phishing and spam emails, but Agari Phishing Defense identified those actions I've done and sent me the details of each and every part of the email where the attack is. Very often Agari Phishing Defense misses a few emails to report the malicious emails. But, it also has a solution to report the email and responds immediately with the answer.

I strongly believe that if you are looking for a product that does what it says on the box and has the capacity to keep your company safe, you should look at Sophos. They have consistently been at the top of their game and continue to provide a product that meets the ever-changing needs of the threat landscape.

Pros
  • It finds the attacks well and moves them to Quarantine folder.
  • Finds the phishing and spam emails and moves.
  • If Agari Phishing Defense misses to find an email, and we have doubt opening it. We can mark the email. Agari Phishing Defense instantly does analysis and sends the report whether it's safe or not.
  • It has best simulation mechanism to teach end-users about the attacks.

  • We could customize it to have a certain level of workflow. We manage to enforce certain email (based on key-phrases) to be quarantined before send it to the recipient. And the email needs to be approved (manually) before being released.
  • For certain type (using regex) of email, we will encrypt it if it's sent outside our organization domain.
  • Scalable

Cons
  • A vital business tool, but at a somewhat high cost for small businesses.
  • Some new functions are not quite responsive, so adding them after they have been completed would be ideal.
  • Simplifying your registration would be a great help in saving time.
  • Having adequate knowledge to handle the software makes it easier to use it and allows it to function properly.

  • Reporting could be more granular, it's the most glaring weakness of the product.
  • The ability to drill down into data from the dashboard would be very helpful for reporting as well.
  • Reverse AD sync so when active directory users are removed, they are removed from Sophos as well would be helpful.

It was easy to use and easy to implement. You don't need previous knowledge on the products, after we got this up and running, it took us hours to put everything together. The transition was easy and seamless.

The solution is very scalable, with a possibility to be customized; which means that Sophos Email can be configured depending on our own situation and context not on a general way. On the other hand, Sophos Email has a broad feature set; I mean, along with core spam and malware protection, Sophos offers advanced features such as real-time
link following, threat isolation, spoof protection, etc.

I have always found the answers I have needed in the documentation or online, and have not needed to contact Sophos Secure Email Gateways' support team. This, I think, bodes well for how their software is easy to use and has good documentation when you cannot find what you need in the basic interface.

Trustifi-Email Security is an excellent solution to keep data, customers, and employees protected against email threats, in addition to having great ease of use and cost savings for being cloud-based. Comparatively, Agari Phishing Defense not only offers us cloud-based software with artificial intelligence but also helps us quickly stop any threat that could harm both our employees and our brand. It performs continuous inbox scans to find any abnormal behavior and thus prevent spread throughout the business environment. This is why we chose Agari Phishing Defense.

Many other solutions are a complicated setup and take a lot of time for the configuration. With Sophos email we were setup and seeing data/emails within an hour. As I have described the ease of use from a high-level for someone like me a Director just peeking into the system or an analyst that can do a deep dive is one of the best users interfaces I have seen for any product.

Return on Investment
  • It is a tool that has been vital to our company since it does not allow threats to reach our email inbox, because it carries out a scan of each email.
  • Its integration with different email gateways allows us to keep our environments protected.
  • It enables us to keep our employees and our brand protected from phishing and BEC threats.

  • We have prevented several cases of employees tried to steal organization's information; this has a great effect on the ROI not only in dollars but also in our reputation.
  • We have used it for more than 4 years, which is more than typical technology adoption we usually do; and this is the result of the above causes (prevention of internal fraud).
  • Need to have an expert of regex to accommodate more advanced DLP function/requirements
