User Testimonials
	Clearswift SECURE Email Gateway (SEG)	Forcepoint Email Security
Likelihood to Recommend	The CS SEG appliances are running as virtual appliances by now. They do need not much power in the ESX environment. I recommend to use at least two peers running in a cluster. The cluster feature is working very well. The CS SEG can process a huge number of emails in a very short time frame. Incentivized FH Frank Haarmann Senior Consultant Read full review	I have been working for years with Forcepoint--they have the ultimate package in terms of integration of DLP and mail security Incentivized Guy Fridman Head of IT - Landa Digital Printing Read full review
Pros	CS SEG is fast in email processing Managing the quarantine is easy Display of the reasons why an email has been processed this is very detailed Incentivized FH Frank Haarmann Senior Consultant Read full review	Ease of GUI Rule creating very intuitive Incentivized Alan Matson, CCNA:S, MCP Sr. Network Security Engineer Read full review
Cons	Improvement is needed in the area of AV/Antispam update processing (internally) Improvement is needed in the log file processing. Many log file entries are not understandable for an operator or administrator without special insider knowledge Clearswift has recently changed the support provider. Now there are no german supporters anymore.

Alternatives Considered	The Clearswift Secure Email Gateway (CS SEG) has very low license costs. A two peer cluster is enough to run a complete emailing gateway environment. Compared to the Proofpoint PPS the CS SEG does not need a management appliance. The CS SEG peers can manage the quarantine by themselves. This is easy to use and quite fast.

Return on Investment	Since this CS SEG environment is operated for a customer, I cannot answer this question Incentivized FH Frank Haarmann Senior Consultant Read full review	Even though Forcepoint solution is targeted high in terms of price, the added value it provides to an organization by securing their system in web and mail is tremendous Incentivized Guy Fridman Head of IT - Landa Digital Printing Read full review
