Clear and Easy-to-Navigate Interface: The product's clear and easy-to-navigate interface has received praise from many users. They have found it simple to understand and use, allowing them to quickly access the features they need.
Effective Email Scanning and Filtering Capabilities: Reviewers have mentioned that the product's inbound and outbound email scanning and filtering capabilities are highly effective. They appreciate how it stops emails of dubious origin and provides alerts on held emails, minimizing spam emails and protecting against phishing attacks.
Reliable Protection with Customization Options: Users have stated that the product provides reliable protection against various threats. They appreciate how end users can easily understand warnings and manage quarantined items. The ability to customize workflows, such as manually approving certain emails before release or automatically applying encryption for external messages, has been well-received.
Limited administration settings: Some users have mentioned that the administration of the product has fewer settings compared to other vendors, which may limit their ability to customize and fine-tune the product according to their specific needs.
Integration limitations: Several users have expressed concerns about the integration capabilities of the product. They feel that certain features such as AD Sync Integration and Synchronized Security Reporting could be improved to provide more flexibility and granularity. For example, they suggest allowing the selection of multiple OUs in AD Sync Integration and enabling reverse AD sync to remove users from Sophos when they are removed from Active Directory.
Lack of advanced features visibility: A number of reviewers have found it a bit challenging to locate advanced features within the product's interface. While they appreciate its smooth graphic interface, some users feel that more guidance or tips integrated into the user interface would be helpful in discovering and utilizing these advanced functionalities effectively.

(1-3 of 3)Sophos Email Gateway - Nightmare Experience
- Nothing
- Rules processing does not perform impersonation filtering properly. For example, if the email gets classified as spam the impersonation rule is not processed against it. This means your users will release these quarantined emails to their inboxes. Impersonation rules should be a top-level rule.
- The product boasts it has AI and advanced processing but regularly lets credential harvesting emails through constantly. URL filtering does not block them and when they are reported it takes up to an hour to block the malicious URL in the filtering. This is too slow since users typically are clicking on these links in emails within minutes
- Support is nonchalant with no sense of urgency. They don't follow simple requests for contact hours and will reach out to you hours after your day has ended. Support engineers agree with you that the product fails to meet standards and think this is an ok thing.
- Emails will get rejected by unknown filters and require research to be done against logs by Sophos support. This is absurd, if an email is blocked it should not require a support ticket for investigating
- The processing of rules is inconsistent. The same email from the same email address and same IP address is classified as SPAM for some and allowed for others

- Makes IT look bad as too many phishing and social engineering emails are allowed to be delivered. This has greatly reduced the confidence in IT from an SLT perspective doing nearly irreparable harm to our reputation as a department.
- The amount of time spent trying to tune this platform to get it to perform has been excessive and has yielded no success. We still have very inconsistent handling of emails.
- Block phishing emails
- Block malicious attachments
- Block spam and unwanted emails
- There are no ways to really be innovative with this product as it is not very granular in its control capabilities
- We have tried tuning this platform excessively 100's of hours now spent and it does not deliver reliable the core promise of what an email gateway should deliver
- We are replacing this platform as it has failed to achieve its core value
