    In my experience the McAfee Security for Email Servers is well suited for the all the types of organization and their employees who main concern is security for their mailing application. As they need to protect the sensitive data sent and receive through mail and also wants to protect their employee and organizations sensitive data. Also, I don't see any scenario where McAfee Security for Email Server is not suited as every organizations wants to protect their data and employee from the many cyber attacks.

    I think that Webroot Email Security is good for small-medium sized businesses who are on a budget for email security. They actually have a great encryption system for outbound email, and so if you bundle those together then it puts everything in the same pane of glass and that is nice. Over the last few years this company was purchased by OpenText, and I have seen some improvements because of that, but this product is not innovating like other emails solutions based on new threats that are emerging. I would say if you have a relatively low volume of inbound email, then this solution would suffice.

    • The admin interface seems a bit shabby. It's time for a refresher course.
    • Being able to modify our own security word without having to contact Zix.
    • Users may not enjoy needing to log in to access messages through the secure site.

    It is much simpler to configure and operate in comparison to other anti-spam applications. Zix's customer usage is comparable to that of other spam filters on the market; but, in terms of convenience of use, Zix comes out on top. Daily delivery of logs is provided, and the user is not required to sign in order for an email to be sent.

    Zix is very good about response times and information. They even proactively e-mail us about known issues. I have never had an issue go unresolved, and the support team tends to answer quickly unless it's a strange, complicated request. The only time that happened was doing a search through logs, and that was entirely on me and my unfamiliarity with their flavor of Linux.

    The McAfee Security for Email Servers is very robust and compact against many newly generated cyber threats. Also the McAfee Security for Email Servers is very easy to operate and understand. The great thing about the McAfee Security for Email Servers is it's ability to determine the threat pattern and disabled it before it occurs and causes the problem in daily operations is too good.

    Cost is competitive, but factoring in Office licensing really made sense for my organization. Cost is lower for more features - I was able to move to Zix and get the top of the line package, moving from a mid-tier product at a competitor. Workflows and process have improved, and the filter is more accurate than our previous filter

    • Protecting patient information
    • Users have to complete an account setup in order to view the encrypted email in a portal. Other platforms just let you open the email without having to setup an account.
    • Pretty easy to use if you don't make many customizations to it.
