Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Symantec Email Security.cloud is a service that provides Antispam as well as other security services including malware and AntiVirus scanning for bad attachments and links, spearphishing control, and sandbox testing of attachments. All of these security features prevent malicious or dangerous emails from ever entering your company's four walls.

Pros

  • Advanced scanning of email and threats beyond simple Antispam services
  • Sandbox testing of attachments prior to delivery of email to test against malicious threats such as Ransomware
  • Spearphishing prevention to avoid impersonation attacks and potential wire transfer requests

Cons

  • Searching within the console can be slow at times, especially when making small tweaks and refreshing quickly
  • Features seem to have slowed down since Symantec acquired this formerly "MessageLabs" product
  • Advanced filtering and scanning is not quite as good as several competitors

Likelihood to Recommend

This product is ideal for any company as it's a cloud-based service and very scalable. It provides many security services and there is no hardware necessary. The service can also be month-to-month and is easy to implement.
