EdgeWave Email protection - Stop threats up front
Rating: 7 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
EdgeWave ePrism Email Security is used by our entire organization for the detection and removal of spam email and other unwanted emails with viruses or other security threatening attachments. From a security standpoint email is one of the most vulnerable security risks in an organization due to the high volume of traffic as well as the high potential risk of users interacting with email that can result in viruses or maleware that can severely impact an organization. EdgeWave mitigates some of this risk by pre-filtering for these type of problems.
Pros
- Email notification of potential issues with incoming email including a nice overview of what was blocked and why.
- Options are provided to view, release, block or white-list specific domains.
- Reports can be generated for administrators to view the overall stance of Edgewave services.
Cons
- More information could be available in the email notification that reports when email was blocked.
- While trying to work with an application that sends email it can be difficult to determine why the email was not received if blocked by EdgeWave unless a check of their dashboard is made since notifications cannot be scheduled more than once daily.
- The option to have reports sent more frequently is a much needed feature.
Likelihood to Recommend
EdgeWave mitigates some of the risk of email by pre-filtering for emails with viruses or other security threatening attachments. It does a good job of removing unwanted or potentially risky emails and allowing for safe viewing and review of these emails without compromising your company and mail delivery systems. It does not provide a timely notification delivery system for seeing emails with problems without accessing their client consolr site.
