Readable logs enhance troubleshooting, but the user interface needs improvement

Pros

"The logs are easily readable and help diagnose problems, although they can be difficult to find initially. The solution addresses our email security, but for the rest of our security, we would use multiple vendors. It covers everything through email, like antivirus, IDS, and IPS. "

Cons

"The user interface needs massive improvement. While the device works fine and it's not complicated to write policies, renaming menu items and showing policy flow in conjunction with the application could help. "

Has effortless spam control, improves security posture, and frees up our IT department's time

Pros

Robust email security with advanced threat protection, seamless integration with the Cisco security ecosystem, and flexibility in deployment options

Pros

Cons

"Many smaller businesses opt for more cost-effective solutions, such as Gmail or Hotmail accounts, instead of investing in Cisco Secure Email, given its higher cost."
