Ensures that there is maximum security enabled for our communication processes

Pros

" There are many features that are important, but among those, the spam protection feature is very valuable. It help us to safeguard the email against phishing and ensures that there is maximum security enabled for our communication processes. It has a huge role in protecting our emails from potential threats. "

Cons

"Sophos Email has few improvements to implement, including the handling of incoming emails in the systems. It needs to add additional feature that helps in enhancing the scanning processes of these emails. While adding these features, it should work towards improving the current features also."

Effective protection against threats for small and medium-sized businesses with its simple interface and affordability, though it may lack some advanced features found in other solutions

Pros

"The feature of Sophos Email that we find most effective for detecting suspicious emails is primarily based on their signatures."

Cons

" Enhancing rule creation and customization features would provide users with greater control over their email security settings."

Effective on-premises and cloud, beneficial sandboxing, and advanced AI detection

Pros

"When you say email security, it's about everything, incoming email, outgoing email, spam, phishing emails, unwanted marketing emails. You can set rules, but the main feature of Sophos Email is to make sure you don't get hacked. 95% of people who are hacked do not get hacked by typing the router password. They are hacked from the inside out, which means they send you a document that is a zero-day attack, you open it, nothing happens, but technically the attack is running in the background of your computer. This is how they gain access to your PC."

Automatically scans messages and attachments for sensitive data, with encryption that integrates seamlessly

Pros

"The filtering capabilities are precious and far superior to others I've used. It's intuitive in what it pushes to quarantine, and users can quickly review, free, or delete items without needing an administrator, making it ideal for a multi-user environment. "

Cons

"However, the setup was tricky, particularly with the DNS routing between Microsoft Exchange Online and Sophos cloud services. It took me about four attempts to get it working correctly. Despite that, Sophos Email does everything we need, so we don't require any additional capabilities now."
