What differentiates Symantec Email Security.cloud from other similar products?

By reducing the complexity of on-site technology, this email security cloud assists in protecting enterprises from email-borne viruses, malware, spam, phishing, targeted attacks, and bulk email. It filters spam and viruses at the highest level possible, safeguards users from targeted attacks, and filters undesired messages.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

You have the choice to purchase this protection with Email Security Cloud. With URL isolation, the phishing prevention works in tandem with reputation management and continuously scans the website you are visiting to make sure no sensitive information is being entered by the end user. What I appreciate most about this application is that Symantec offers email while it is running in the background of our machines.

What do you dislike most about this product?

It can occasionally take a little while for scans to process, but this is to be expected given the thorough work it is doing to safeguard our systems against threats and weaknesses. The software was simple to use and offered nothing to occupy my time constantly; for the most part, it worked in the background to accomplish the goal for which we pay it: to save us time and money.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Integrating Symantec Email Security cloud with other Symantec cloud services can improve it even further. I like that this technology works for both so I do not need to utilize various services to defend against virus risks. It also offers comprehensive scanning of email and dangers beyond simple Antispam services.
