    The CS SEG appliances are running as virtual appliances by now. They do need not much power in the ESX environment. I recommend to use at least two peers running in a cluster. The cluster feature is working very well. The CS SEG can process a huge number of emails in a very short time frame.

    Cons
    Fortra
    • Improvement is needed in the area of AV/Antispam update processing (internally)
    • Improvement is needed in the log file processing. Many log file entries are not understandable for an operator or administrator without special insider knowledge
    • Clearswift has recently changed the support provider. Now there are no german supporters anymore.

    The Clearswift Secure Email Gateway (CS SEG) has very low license costs. A two peer cluster is enough to run a complete emailing gateway environment. Compared to the Proofpoint PPS the CS SEG does not need a management appliance. The CS SEG peers can manage the quarantine by themselves. This is easy to use and quite fast.
