    AppRiver is great for both small and large organizations. Small businesses are unlikely to have much if any technical support staff available to them, for which AppRiver would be a great help. Likewise for large companies, having AppRiver can save your tech support team from dealing with basic, common, and repetitive application support, and allowing them to better focus on more important tasks at hand.

    In a medium company, it is suited since the cost can be high for a smaller one.
    I think there are better and more complete products for companies with higher volume or levels of confidentiality. While it is a good product, today there are several that exceed it in quality and functionality.

    Pros
    OpenText
    • Very useful daily quarantine list emailed to users.
    • Suspicious emails can be viewed online in their sandbox to check validity before releasing from quarantine.
    • Multiple ways to filter emails (domain, email address, text, etc)
    • Link protection is one of the newest options available and we absolutely love it!!

    • By having the physical appliance, it is more granular the control that is had of the users, which also accelerates the speed of detection of threats.
    • The few options of DLP that it has are very useful when filtering sensitive data, but I stress "few".
    • The interface is intuitive, but for more advanced options, it requires a higher than average knowledge of these systems.

    Cons
    OpenText
    • They do not support DMARC and DKIM at this time and I don't know when or if they ever will.
    • Their SPF record is not great and can possibly cause issues, at least that is what my support company has told me.
    • Scanning of links in emails seems super limited and or non-existent. THings get through with completely bad malicious all the time and I assume they are not scanning them or they don't have a proper AV on their end.
    • Once a domain is whitelisted any bad emails that may be spoofing that email domain are let through and no other filters apply to the emails. It's frustrating to have to white list 20+ individual email addresses from a company and not be able to white list just the domain and not feel secure doing that.

    • I know it is not a DLP since there is another specific product for it, but they could do it just a little easier for the average user.
    • An intuitive interface in a broader aspect, not only in the basic functions.
    • The option only in the cloud is good, but only the appliance offers all the functionalities.

    AppRiver's live support is above what I expected, and I use it exclusively. I always get a professional, courteous, and knowledgeable tech that is easy to understand within a few minutes of placing a call. If you do have to leave a message they have always promptly returned my call.

    AppRiver requires the least amount of management time, the pricing is better and the minimums are such that almost all SMB's won't be buying shelfware. If you are an MSP, become a partner and you will see spam problems become a thing of the past.

    Unfortunately all these products are better in almost all aspects. It is not to discredit the Trustwave, but they have much to improve in this area.

    • Efficiency, teams adapt quickly to changes or new business needs.
    • Support gives us alternatives on how to establish new timings for new business lines on email.
    • An increase in profit owing to a reduction in the amount of assistance our in-house IT staff is required to provide.

    • While it is a good product, today there are several that exceed it in quality and functionality.
    • In a medium company it is correct, since the cost can be high for a smaller one and it is not worth it.
    • It is a basic product, compared to others of the same type
