We primarily use it for Email protection and enhanced security features.
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
I like that it doesn't hold emails for any reason; it sends out notifications to the user as well as administrators. So we have a clear vision on the clear side of what is being blocked and in time as well.
And it is easy to use.
What needs improvement?
There is room for improvement in GUI because it is a bit old-fashioned. Moreover, it can add more advanced features compared to a competitor like Mimecast.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using it for over two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I would rate the stability an eight out of ten.
The stability is good.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
There are around 800 to 1000 end users using this solution. I would rate the scalability an eight out of ten. It's good. Then depending on the usage, you can scale the existing storage and compute capacity.
How are customer service and support?
Support is not so good, honestly. The response time could be faster.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Negative
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I used Mimecast. It's pretty more advanced. First of all, it's cloud-based and known for full systems. And it has many advanced security features, which Trustwave does not have. But it's more costly than Trustwave.
How was the initial setup?
I would rate my experience with the initial setup a four out of ten when one is difficult, and ten is easy. It's difficult initially since it's an on-premise solution. So it's a bit difficult.
So the initial assessment took a few days, and then the deployment was a couple of days.
It is on-prem. That is also one of the improvements you need to make on the cloud. Most of the people like things to be on the cloud. You don't have the burden of setting up things on-premise.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing is in the middle. Compared to other products, it should be five out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive.
What other advice do I have?
Overall, I would rate the solution a seven out of ten. I would recommend using it.
