Likelihood to Recommend
FileWall is well suited for legal departments because they are receiving a lot of attachments daily and it is very difficult to work in complete safety. We have some more experienced users that are not used to paying attention to attachments, and FileWall is very useful in these situations to prevent hacker attacks.

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

  • FileWall admin console straight forward and user-friendly, Also dashboard gives great insights.
  • Very economical, price of $1 per user/month is more than affordable with discount for annual subscription.

  • 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
  • It's only available on the Microsoft Marketplace. Would like to see it available through other channels.

  • 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.

Usability
At first place I was beta tester of the product, and after that I've introduce this products to few of my clients who also wanted to try the product because there is one month trial free of charge. After trial phase my clients was very satisfied and they are making decision to acquired this product.

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.

There support I would give 100 as they really go the extra mile to assist you and also take note of what you have to say.

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.

Alternatives Considered
FileWall can be used in addition to all listed solutions as well as stand-alone attachment protection solution. FileWall has great price for SMBs and easy to implement and configure. If you are looking for a great attachment protection solution - FileWall will be your best option. It will protect you and in same time your administrators don't need to spend much time working on it.

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
  • I feel my email is safe.
  • Automatically detects if the email is safe or if can cause harm.
  • Very good investment for SMB.

  • 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
