Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"You can install the plugins on the same machine hosting your exchange solution. It's a good complement for Sophos security, which scans the traffic before it reaches your mail service. Kaspersky is on the mail server itself while Sophos handles the incoming traffic. With both of them working together, we have the perfect solution for mail."

"The integration rate is very high in Kaspersky, which is why most of our customers like it."

"The most valuable features are the anti-phishing and anti-spam capabilities."

"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is a highly reliable and dependable solution."

"The most valuable feature is the straightforward setup."

"I find the product valuable because it provides easy integration with other platforms like Fortinet firewalls."

"We have achieved cost savings of up to thirty percent by using Kaspersky Security for Mail Server."

"With Trend Micro email security gateway, we can deploy features like DLP and BEC."

"The solution provides protection with its Email Track Records and Machine Manual features."

"The technical support services are excellent."

Cons

"The solution is not 100 percent stable and that can use improvement."

"I rated the overall solution a five out of ten. If a user is looking for a low-budget solution with mid-level security without AI features, Kaspersky Security for Mail Server is suitable."

"I have only made contact via email, and it is a little slow. I would give customer service a rating of six or seven. Improving Spanish support would greatly benefit users."

"The biggest problem in the solution is related to its license renewal since it is pretty hard in Kaspersky to find out the procedure to renew a license."

"It would be great if Kaspersky could do what Sophos does for us. However, we love having these two different technologies doing the same thing. Sometimes Sophos has the patch to block a novel threat, but Kaspersky doesn't."

"Encrypted email attachments are not being monitored by this solution, which is an area that they need to work on."

"Kaspersky lacks in the area of customization, so simpler customization options need to be provided to users."

"There is room for improvement in content filtration, expressions, file sharing, and policy configuration."

"The product's pricing could be more flexible."

"The solution's pricing could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution offers one of the best prices possible to its users, making it even better than Barracuda. Kaspersky Security for Mail Server is ten times cheaper than Barracuda."

"Price-wise, I would rate this product a four out of five. It could be a bit cheaper."

"The solution is not expensive."

"My company makes annual payments towards the licensing costs solution."

"I rate Trend Micro InterScan Messaging Security’s pricing a seven out of ten."
