    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.

    Forcepoint Email Security is perfect for set and forget. Very little do I need to get in and that's to tailor a policy there are minimal issues I have encountered since using the product.

    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 support could be better, but the good thing is rarely having to call them.

    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.

    Since Forcepoint is used widely in our organization, the integration between DLP web and Mail is amazing, and I didn’t find a good reason to split services between vendors if I have all the package in one place

    • Since this CS SEG environment is operated for a customer, I cannot answer this question

    • Even though Forcepoint solution is targeted high in terms of price, the added value it provides to an organization by securing their system in web and mail is tremendous
