I have found it easy to train staff and there is a great resource and document library that Egress has which includes video demos which has really helped. When issues have arisen, I have found Egress to respond quickly and find solutions - we have always had really friendly and approachable account managers too. ----- ### "Email security is very important" — 5.0/5 > **Howard** | *20 October 2023* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We have all sorts of firewalls in software to screen out malicious emails. However, when some emails get through it is the end user who has to decide whether to push or not. This program gives banners to help identify suspicious and malicious emails. Helps to eliminate human error, which is where all our mistakes have been made. > > **Cons**: There is no cons about this program. The program was exactly what I was looking for and what we needed. > > Such an easy process to set up. It does exactly what it says it will do. This program could potentially save your entire system from human error in interacting with malicious emails. ----- ### "Poor feature set and workflow with long term downsides and liabilities" — 2.0/5 > **Dave** | *21 June 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: It adds a modicum of security but with a significant overhead. > > **Cons**: The workflow of this product for an external vendor is atrocious. • Reading a simple replay such as “thanks” turns into a longwinded process of opening webpages and logging in. • Email management becomes a nightmare. A frequent user of Egress emails you some important information, good luck ever finding that again with no search facilities and impossible to quickly scan emails. • There is a potential legal issue going forward if you reply using egress since the Egress account holder effectively has a lock on the record of your communication if they remove your Egress account. So for example if a client requests in an email for work to be performed in a certain way then the recipient of that order would have no way to find or read that communication potentially years later. The web client is glitchy.- • Replying to an email frequently leaves the recipient names blank meaning you have to close tab and try again. • It can also conflict with other local security protection, again requiring multiple attempts to reply. • Has a habit of disabling send, losing the email content you have just written. • The outlook plugin seems to provide little additional functionality but does also add additional faults such as complete inability to reply. From a security perspective it actively encourages the clicking of links in emails to the extent of being a phishing scammer’s dream. > > If you are using Egress for occasional transmission of sensitive information then it has a use but if used for general communication then it is poorly designed and written. It would be far better for egress to host the email content on their servers and allow access to them providing the relevant search tools etc. Using Egress on a daily basis not only wastes inordinate amounts of time but also causes significant problems trying to locate record of communications which have long term negative effects. ----- ### "Egress Intelligent Email Security - Does what it says" — 4.0/5 > **Arnie** | *11 June 2020* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Highly customisable. Setting up different rules e.g. Encrypt highly confidential on device or to certain users. Flagging up of suspicious email senders, new recipients or potential data loss by sending to an incorrect address is a great feature. TLS checks to make sure security is in place. > > **Cons**: Does have a bit of an impact on Outlook e.g. Sending an email takes a second or so longer now and starting up Outlook can take a few more seconds. Minor issues but sometimes it disables the addin due to taking too long to load (5+ seconds). There are various registry fixes in place that look to have done their job so that it's not disabled. > > No issues so far, it's a product we needed and implemented fairly swiftly with help from Egress themselves. ----- ### "Email Protection implemented the Easy Way" — 5.0/5 > **Sandor** | *15 June 2020* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The Proof of Value was easily implemented and moving from POV to production was done with help of Egress support. We implemented the solution step by step to minimize impact on the organisation. All feedback from the organisation was absorbed by Egress in such a way that they fixed each 'issue' the end user experienced. The application has lot's of possibilities. > > **Cons**: Roll out of the application -\> Registry Keys need to be imported under local user-profile. Mac users are not supported with the Outlook Plugin Not suitable for big-bang implementation (incremental implementation necessary) Learning curve of the application takes some time. End-User manuals needed to be customized by the customer. Manuals are available but not directly suitable for end-users. (Perfect for administrators) > > The email security helps to prevent data-leaks by emailing the wrong persons and to send emails safely. The best user experience is within a windows environment. Our administrators needed some time to learn the behavior of the application to help our end-users. A lot of the Egress templates are customizable with help of Egress support. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/303941/egress-protect?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/303941/egress-protect) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
