What differentiates Sophos Email from other similar products?

The departments in which we have installed it includes Information technology department Marketing department Finance department. All the emails we receive are scanned for any threat whether it's phishing or malware. It is first checked. The major concern of this tool is to ensure security and to fully check the content for threats and it prevents data leakage and hence helps us in the fight against our enemies. Protection is foul-proof and no one can intrude in our privacy.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The way it checks content for any overt and covert cyber threat.It Helps in stemming data leakage and hence our enemies cannot get any information using any tactic.Its data management tools are amazing. Now are emails are secure and we dont have to stress about any kind of threat so its proactivity makes it our most favourite.

What do you dislike most about this product?

We have encountered issues in migrating large data files and this is problematic.Its integration is not effective actually it is not exactly the way we anticipated it to be.The dashboard is useless.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I don’t know about other’s experience but the way I have observed it is that it is just a perfect tool that we needed for our company to ensure a safe environment in which we can receive and send emails without any danger of phishing attacks, malware or of any other malicious attack and this is no less than a blessing for us.
