Perfect for finding malware even that doesn't yet have a name

  • May 21, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Possibility
- to block or sanitize active content.
- to have different quarantine folders which each represent the type of malware found.
- to have different Admin Users or groups that have individual access rights for example to check special quarantine folders.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Licensing should be much easier. Why not activate all the stuff available within the software for one single price?
The detection of phishing emails could be better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Practically we have nearly no spam or malware since implementation of SEG.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
SEG also has the ability to encrypt and decrypt emails using SMIME. This could reduce costs, if you plan to implement this functionality or even if you consider switching from another solution.

Security, work flow processes, ease of use and AMAZING support!

  • February 06, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The fact is Clearswift has a 25+ year heritage in this space (Email Gateway) working with global organizations and adapting to advanced persistent threats with the latest research, insight and security tactics being used by malicious actors. The company vision is clear to help stop these evolving threats and work closely with security and internal technology teams to ensure the proper usage is put into practice from day one. The technology and team behind the Clearswift brand supports their customers like no other vendor.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are difficulties and challenges in getting the message out to the marketplace when so many vendors are competing in the space or bundling similar technology products. The marketing traffic can become noisy and prevent companies from doing the proper research because they are in a rush for a band-aid to their problem. There is a disadvantage to Clearswift when other vendors are just shouting louder instead of delivering the solution. The little fish in the big pond applies here but we all know the story of Nemo or the little engine that could!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solving against the latest phishing scams and protecting the existing proprietary data from data loss or leakage (DLP) has been a challenge for many organizations. Clearswift's latest tools help automate and enforce the security policies (one and done) by Clearswift's Secure Email Gateway (SEG) and one of the primary reasons so many customers realize the value of the product. Trusting a vendor today with your data is a privilege to the vendor and part of the relationship engagement, another value to the customer when deciding the Clearswift family of products.
