Chose Cisco Cloud Email Security
I would select Cisco for the Cloud Email Security solution because it has high availability. The integrations you have with solutions in the email cloud are very easy to integrate. Cisco Cloud Email Security is among the leaders in email protection solutions. It is important to …
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.
N-able Mail Assure
Chose N-able Mail Assure
AppRiver is very much a set and forget type of email filter with almost no configurability and no flexibility. I am sure AppRiver is good for those that don't want to have to configure it, and those that don't want to change the product (they just want to buy a service, and …
Chose N-able Mail Assure
We have used a few mail security options, including SpamStopsHere. Mail Assure is easier to manage and adapts as it learns the email traffic and patterns that come into the company. We use most of the SolarWinds suite, including MSPManager, N-central, Passportal, and Endpoint …
Chose N-able Mail Assure
Mail Assure was very close in all it's features, but lacked the secure email function. But the price difference between Mail Assure and Barracuda was significant enough to go this direction. Secure email is in development and will hopefully be available soon.

We have been using this software at our company for approximately two years now. We have had excellent results from it thus far. This tool is very robust and provides a layered approach towards email security. We have it installed for our employees mobile devices as well.

Works really well for spam filtering in emails for our clients. If you have a lot of employees you want to prevent phishing and spam from getting to them. We recently had a client that had their whole company blacklisted by Microsoft because a good number of their staff fell for phishing emails. We implemented Mail Assure and this has nearly eliminated the emails they had been getting.

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.

AppRiver is very much a set and forget type of email filter with almost no configurability and no flexibility. I am sure AppRiver is good for those that don't want to have to configure it, and those that don't want to change the product (they just want to buy a service, and have it run with no customization to fit their organization). SolarWinds Mail Assure gives us the flexibility of filtering that we want.

Return on Investment
  • Cisco was priced better than some of the other best of breed providers.
  • It has significantly reduced our spam and malicious content to our users compared to our previous deprecated on-prem email gateway.
  • The ease of adding a new site.
Read full review
  • It cut down on the amount of spam we get.
  • It can differentiate a email box from an alias attached so it must be specified to keep from being billed.
