My company operates as a service provider, and we use Cisco Secure Email so that we can secure the endpoints, systems, and emails in our data center.
The most valuable feature of the solution is the ease of use. It is easy to set up and manage the tool.
There are some concerns in the way the architecture is set up, making it an area where improvements are required. When you set up the tool, the way you put your SMTP routes should be possible through an easier process.
I have been using Cisco Secure Email for ten years. I am a customer of the tool.
The product is stable. The only challenge is the IPs get easily blacklisted. The IP addresses of IronPort devices easily get blacklisted. Cisco should make items to contact the companies whose IP addresses get blocked. During the configuration of the tool, there should be some provision in the product to indicate which IP addresses are from IronPort devices and not from the server.
It is a scalable solution.
My company uses three Cisco Secure Email solutions in parallel. In my company, we have set the product for different segments or networks, but all three sync well with each other and work fine.
For administration purposes, there are five people who use the product. As end users, there are over 2,000 to 3,000 people who use the product.
I am happy with the responses and the solutions provided by the solution's technical support.
The product's initial setup phase was easy.
The product's price falls on the higher side when compared to the other products on the market.
Whether the product would be worth the money for a business is something that depends on what a company is trying to do with the solution. If you are looking at the profitability angle, the new can get cheaply priced solutions in the market. I work in a government organization where profit alone is not our goal, and we need a product that offers security.
I recommend the product to those who plan to use it.
The DLP feature in the product is not a functionality that we have configured yet, but we do have access to its settings.
A beginner can learn to use Cisco Secure Email through a straightforward process.
Cisco Secure Email has integrated with our company's existing email gateway in a very straightforward manner through a configuration process involving IronPorts, and then URLs on IronPorts are set up.
Though it is easy to set up the product, the cost of the solution is not favorable for everybody.
I rate the tool a seven out of ten.
