I don't have any other experience with anything other than data motion
Chose DataMotion
DataMotion is 3 and mysecurepractice is a 10
Chose DataMotion
I do not have anything to compare DataMotion to.
Chose DataMotion
Our office previously used SendINc. This is an easier system to use and more cost effective
Chose DataMotion
DataMotion was the most integrated and allowed for the smoothest transition between "standard" email and the secure email platform.
Chose DataMotion
Easy to use and can send as many emails as needed at 1 fee
Chose DataMotion
We can not afford Cisco products; in the end, everything we require is on the software side, not the hardware side. Also, we are trying to move away from these bulky appliance-type concepts of secure documentation and communication integrations. This federated easy, fast and …
Chose DataMotion
Egress offers a similar system, although the login and user interface are slightly slower and feel a little more clunky. Upon using DataMotion, it just clicks that both clients and colleagues would prefer a simpler, more streamlined system that allows for minimum effort and …
Chose DataMotion
I have never reviewed MyCase, but I used it for a year at my prior firm and found that DataMotion is better for organizing workflow and can much more easily send encrypted documents. That said, I found MyCase better for areas of law outside real estate since it was catered more …
Chose DataMotion
The price of DataMotion is very reasonable and not an extra like other solutions we looked at. DataMotion SecureMail ensures that data is scanned for the latest malware and viruses before it gets to our network. Can be customized based on the policies we wish to apply to our …
Chose DataMotion
For us, the deciding factor was the ease with which DataMotion SecureMail could be deployed and managed. We really needed a type of product that wouldn't place too much pressure on the IT department. We also delighted with the DataMotion SecureMail's effectiveness and how …
Chose DataMotion
DataMotion SecureMail is the easiest-to-use email encryption product. It works in the background encrypting every email automatically. Using this solution will catch all potential email threats and block any email hacking attempts.
Chose DataMotion
A simple and direct way to share files between pairs of users, but lacks the ability to share among more than two persons or directly collaborate on shared files.
Chose DataMotion
No comparison in that One Partner will display patients' quality metrics and indicate if they are open or closed.
Chose DataMotion
I haven't really used any other products.
Chose DataMotion
What sets DataMotion apart from the competitors is that is is very affordable and offers great features. In addition, not many tools in its category comes with a mobile application.
Chose DataMotion
DataMotion is easy to use as no coding needs. Most important, it offers a mobile application and comes at an affordable cost.
Chose DataMotion
DataMotion is better in many ways but one reason why I would still go for this software is that it encryption and decryption of emails is easy - no coding needed.

Proofpoint is a major player in this space, and I believe their product is overall superior to Webroot Email Security. However, the price is much higher for products like Proofpoint, which has made it difficult to fit that into our budget. We really like using the outbound …
Chose Webroot Email Security Powered by Zix
We used to be customers of Virtru, but we found that their feature set was neither nearly as comprehensive nor as user-friendly as Zix's. In addition, we acquired Cisco Ironport but struggled with getting it configured properly. The interface was outdated and difficult to use, …
Chose Webroot Email Security Powered by Zix
Although the price is reasonable, my company found that adding Office licenses was a no-brainer. For less money, I was able to upgrade from a lower-tier product at a rival to Zix's premium package. Improved processes and workflows have resulted in a filter that is more precise …
Chose Webroot Email Security Powered by Zix
False reporting and lack of onsite users' experience with the product. All reports I ran would come back with inaccurate information.
Chose Webroot Email Security Powered by Zix
Cost is competitive, but factoring in Office licensing really made sense for my organization. Cost is lower for more features - I was able to move to Zix and get the top of the line package, moving from a mid-tier product at a competitor. Workflows and process have improved, …
Chose Webroot Email Security Powered by Zix
We were formerly a Virtru customer, and the feature set was not as robust nor as user friendly as Zix. We also purchased Cisco Ironport and had trouble with configuration. Three phone calls with technicians to set up and the interface was old and antiquated. The Zix …
Chose Webroot Email Security Powered by Zix
I have never used another platform besides Zix, because when I was starting to look into it, I was asking other agencies that I saw their secure email with the Zix logo on the bottom, and they all highly recommended Zix, so I did not even need to look elsewhere.
Chose Webroot Email Security Powered by Zix
They are a leader in my industry which was huge. I figured if all these Fortune 500 insurance companies use them then they must have something going on. After further review and diligence I see why. Great company and service and a reasonable cost.
Chose Webroot Email Security Powered by Zix
The sales staff and online customer service prompts were what made us decide to look into Zix products. The ease of implementation into our configuration and then the ability to edit the lexicons completed the decision.
Chose Webroot Email Security Powered by Zix
We wanted an easy to use system with little to no end user interaction. Humans are able to make mistakes so we wanted to take out the user error.
Chose Webroot Email Security Powered by Zix
Our EHR system used to have an imbedded Secure Email feature that we used, but it was rather difficult, not user friendly, and even often times sent our emails to our recipients spam folders. Zix is a vast upgrade and improvement. Emails are delivered more efficiently and it's …
Chose Webroot Email Security Powered by Zix
Zix was able to bill us monthly versus paying for the entire platform once yearly. The cost was also a component.
Chose Webroot Email Security Powered by Zix
I was not directly involved in the decision to purchase for this product but I got to understand that some costs needed to be reduced. It also came at a time where a merger was taking place so a simpler, cheaper, almost as good as Cisco solution was required to address the …
Chose Webroot Email Security Powered by Zix
Security, compliance, cost, and ease of use.
Chose Webroot Email Security Powered by Zix
ShareFile also sends e-mails outside the regular network path and has a portal that can be configured. However, it requires more setup and manual interaction, and as far as I know, does not encrypt/secure the data at rest the same way Zix does. Zix is almost invisible to end …
Chose Webroot Email Security Powered by Zix
We used a competing product before that was much easier to use. We switched just to combine the protection service we had with them with the preexisting email encryption services we already had with Zix and was able to negotiate a better price. The encryption piece was the …
Chose Webroot Email Security Powered by Zix
We experienced difficulty in getting all staff to use the previous program and liked the ability to set key words to trigger the secure features.

Security, security, security and most definitely ease
Chose Webroot Email Security Powered by Zix
Even though employees are highly skeptical and apprehensive to use the product, I try to trust that the Zix scanning is doing its job and protecting what it needs to. I certainly worry about it on a regular basis though.
Chose Webroot Email Security Powered by Zix
Cost, quality of platform.
Chose Webroot Email Security Powered by Zix
Our most critical decision to purchase ZIX was the ease of use for the person sending and receiving the encrypted email. We could not have the situation where the receiver had to go to a web site and download an agent or plugin in order to read the email. We could not have the …

We have not used any other products from Zix besides email encryption however we would certainly be interested in having a consultation around our needs and Zix's products. Our company would be extremely inclined to do additional business with Zix based upon our overall very …

The Datamotion Secure Mail plug-in can be installed and used in Outlook while sending mail. In the search category, if you keep SecureMail 500 Admin and hit go, you can see how many admins there are. You can also see how many users there are and the license consumption.

I have already recommended Zix to a number of our coworkers in the home healthcare industry, and a number of those coworkers also use Zix, which makes it quite simple to connect with one another. Because it pertains to health care, which is an industry in which it is vital to maintain confidentiality and sensitivity, we also utilize it within our own organization to communicate with one another.

  • Ease of use. Other competitors platform is WAY easier to use and customize.
  • You have to cover THE ENTIRE ORGANIZATION with coverage, even though only a handful will need to use email encryption

Usability
I could see DataMotion being used anywhere that needs to send confidential data or information within our outside of the workplace. This platform sends and receives emails securely. Also, the DataMotion support team response time is very helpful/appreciated and they will help you get things up and running quickly. I would definitely recommend [it].

It is much simpler to configure and operate in comparison to other anti-spam applications. Zix's customer usage is comparable to that of other spam filters on the market; but, in terms of convenience of use, Zix comes out on top. Daily delivery of logs is provided, and the user is not required to sign in order for an email to be sent.

Responses always seem timely and the support seems to be pretty good. We haven't really had any major issues with the software yet, so I that's the reason I gave only an 8. If something more difficult were to pop up, I'd have a little more to say on the support for the product.

Zix is very good about response times and information. They even proactively e-mail us about known issues. I have never had an issue go unresolved, and the support team tends to answer quickly unless it's a strange, complicated request. The only time that happened was doing a search through logs, and that was entirely on me and my unfamiliarity with their flavor of Linux.

Proofpoint is a major player in this space, and I believe their product is overall superior to Webroot Email Security. However, the price is much higher for products like Proofpoint, which has made it difficult to fit that into our budget. We really like using the outbound email encryption feature of Zix, and I think that has some serious competitive advantages over something like Proofpoint, and so it is nice to have that all in one platform.
