Considered Both Products	Forcepoint Email Security Alan Matson, CCNA:S, MCP Sr. Network Security Engineer 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. Incentivized Helpful? Guy Fridman Head of IT - Landa Digital Printing 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 Incentivized Helpful?	Symantec Email Security.cloud Derek Schroeder Service Manager Chose Symantec Email Security.cloud Barracuda's ESS is the premier product, it boasts outbound email encryption as an included service as well as all of the security features of Symantec Email Security.cloud. Sophos is on the same level as SES.c but is not quite as feature rich. Incentivized Helpful?

Pros	Ease of GUI Rule creating very intuitive Incentivized Alan Matson, CCNA:S, MCP Sr. Network Security Engineer Read full review	Filters spam and malware on the highest possible level Provides stable service Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Speed is not the best but its email not instant chat Incentivized Alan Matson, CCNA:S, MCP Sr. Network Security Engineer Read full review	Searching within the console can be slow at times, especially when making small tweaks and refreshing quickly Features seem to have slowed down since Symantec acquired this formerly "MessageLabs" product Advanced filtering and scanning is not quite as good as several competitors Incentivized Derek Schroeder Service Manager Read full review
Support Rating	The support could be better, but the good thing is rarely having to call them. Incentivized Alan Matson, CCNA:S, MCP Sr. Network Security Engineer Read full review	In very tricky cases, it takes time to explain it to the support personnel as they don't get your problem from the first couple of emails.

Return on Investment	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	Our previous solution was very manual. The ROI has been in less manual intervention from the admins and freeing up their already busy schedules. Incentivized BH bryan hornick IT Manager Read full review
