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.

View full review »The feature of Sophos Email that we find most effective for detecting suspicious emails is primarily based on their signatures. However, compared to other solutions like FortiMail and Trend Micro Cloud Email, we rate its effectiveness slightly lower. Overall, while the signature-based detection works well, some users have reported occasional false positives, especially when integrated with the firewall. Nonetheless, the majority of customers using Sophos Email are satisfied with its performance.

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.
This solution has artificial intelligence. It means it doesn't depend only on the normal definition. It reads the algorithm and analyzes it, so it's something very advanced than other vendors.
Sophos Email is accurate and fast. It does block stealth attacks ransomware if you receive a file, which is hidden. For us, we can see it's a very good solution compared with others.
Overall the solution is easy for management and easy to use in general. It has all the tools, such as active protection for your organization's needs.
The main requirement of this solution is for email security and protection. The settings are easy, very secure, and simple GUI to manage.
The tool's most valuable feature is the anti-spam detection filter. Its threat email intelligence features help to identify email data.
View full review »I cannot guarantee any email by its name. It can be spam. Sophos Email helps to double-check whether an email is spam or not. It has a dashboard which gives an overview of the alerts.

The price is okay. The on-premise email security solution of Cisco can perform only outbound filtering. Sophos Email provides both inbound and outbound filtering. I also like that the solution is deployed on the cloud.
