N-able Mail Assure vs. Webroot Email Security Powered by Zix

Works really well for spam filtering in emails for our clients. If you have a lot of employees you want to prevent phishing and spam from getting to them. We recently had a client that had their whole company blacklisted by Microsoft because a good number of their staff fell for phishing emails. We implemented Mail Assure and this has nearly eliminated the emails they had been getting.

I have already recommended Zix to a number of our coworkers in the home healthcare industry, and a number of those coworkers also use Zix, which makes it quite simple to connect with one another. Because it pertains to health care, which is an industry in which it is vital to maintain confidentiality and sensitivity, we also utilize it within our own organization to communicate with one another.

• Ease of use. Other competitors platform is WAY easier to use and customize.
• You have to cover THE ENTIRE ORGANIZATION with coverage, even though only a handful will need to use email encryption
• The Zix Protect platform is a complete joke to customize and use.

It did delivers exactly what is needed, what was promised, is cost effective, and is incredibly easy to use and manage.

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.

They were able to solve every issue I found and were able to explain what they did to resolve to avoid another call. Great support

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.

AppRiver is very much a set and forget type of email filter with almost no configurability and no flexibility. I am sure AppRiver is good for those that don't want to have to configure it, and those that don't want to change the product (they just want to buy a service, and have it run with no customization to fit their organization). SolarWinds Mail Assure gives us the flexibility of filtering that we want.

Proofpoint is a major player in this space, and I believe their product is overall superior to Webroot Email Security. However, the price is much higher for products like Proofpoint, which has made it difficult to fit that into our budget. We really like using the outbound email encryption feature of Zix, and I think that has some serious competitive advantages over something like Proofpoint, and so it is nice to have that all in one platform.

• It cut down on the amount of spam we get.
• It can differentiate a email box from an alias attached so it must be specified to keep from being billed.

Incentivized

• Users have improved at identifying spam.
• Fewer false positives are coming through.
• It has identified a lot of security holes from vendors (e.g. most vendors using outdated extensions that we are now able to block, creating a discussion with our users).
