"Low=Effort Email Security with Intuitive Features"

5/5

What do you like best about Shield?

I like how Shield helps to knock down the volume of malicious and spam email quickly, and it has a good facility for allowing users to easily categorize inbound mail. The automated method involving the junk email box is very simple to use. The automatic notification of new emails that are uncategorized is very valuable, catching new subscription confirmation emails, new threats, and spam, allowing them to be either dismissed or whitelisted. The Spotlight feature is really useful for locating emails effectively within the folder structure, and I also find Shield to be very intuitive and straightforward, presenting clearly what it's doing. Additionally, it was relatively painless to set up, and I greatly appreciate its reliable integration with Microsoft 365, which was a compelling reason for switching from MailProtector.

What do you dislike about Shield?

Using Shield was a bit of a challenge when it came to organizing my email rules. Before Shield, I was managing email with my own set of rules, and incorporating them with the rules created by Shield took some adjusting. It's not impossible to manage, but for someone who uses rules extensively, it does present potential conflicts with the Shield rules. This was a bit challenging to overcome.

What problems is Shield solving and how is that benefiting you?

I find Shield monitors my email traffic effectively, categorizing inbound emails, and blocking malicious and spam emails. It simplifies my email management with automatic notifications and Spotlight, making it easy for me to locate or dismiss emails, reducing the time I spend on email security.
