Chose Cisco Cloud Email Security
Cisco was at least better than or equal to the others but within our budget. It provided all of the services of anti-spam, content filtering, anti-virus, DLP, encrypted email service, scalability, and more than the others. Cisco name and reputation were also key in our decision.
Forcepoint Email Security
Chose Forcepoint Email Security
While the Cisco Email was a close second, the customization of the Forcepoint Email Security policies and reports is what won us over.
Chose Forcepoint Email Security
Since Forcepoint is used widely in our organization, the integration between DLP web and Mail is amazing, and I didn’t find a good reason to split services between vendors if I have all the package in one place

Support Rating
Cisco TAC support is very good since they have engineers available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Important to mention that you must have the support of the solution enabled to be able to receive a response from TAC and that we can be taken care of. The only drawback may be that they will not be able to see settings of the email provider you use.

The support could be better, but the good thing is rarely having to call them.
