Since implementing Cisco Email Security, we have had a drastic increase in phishing and malicious emails getting through. It is like going from the three stooges guarding the gate to the Avengers taking the helm.
The companies using Cisco Ironport are most often found in United States and in the Computer Software industry. Cisco Ironport is most often used by companies with 1000-5000 employees and >1000M dollars in revenue. Our data for Cisco Ironport usage goes back as far as 4 years and 10 months.
There were detailed logs available. That was a seriously good feature... It turns out these were actually spoof emails that came into our environment. I got to know about them from the log system.

Describe the project or task the provider helped with:
Used Cisco IronPort's WSA appliance - bunch of S690's and VMs (of course in different segments) managed by an M690 appliance in the on-premises data center / private cloud. Primary requirement was to get rid of the open source Squid Proxies to get a better application visibility, technical support and ease manageability.
Placement -
1. Before the perimeter firewall, load balancing done via BIG-IP F5 appliances.
2. Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As compared to Squid, ease of administration, Cisco's excellent support, device stability, ease of carrying out maintenance (upgrades / downgrades / replacement etc.). It integrates with other devices for providing malware protection, application visibility. Cisco Talo's IP and domain reputation is quite intensive, thereby less false positives. The turnaround time by Cisco to address domain mis-classification is low, thereby efficient. Excellent reporting Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
