Heather,

IronPort has a couple of products. To which were you referring?

We're completing our first year with the email security box and couldn't be happier. Much less care and feeding than 
our old Barracuda. You can do SO much with it. The marketing collateral is horrible. Get a copy of the documentation to 
see what it can REALLY do.

We looked at the secure web gateway. Our curiosity was killed instantly when we saw the price tag--especially when 
compared to the market leaders.


Cheers,
Rand

Hello all,

 

I'd like to know if any institution out there has deployed a Cisco IronPort device in their network?  Just curious as 
to what you think about it?  Ease of use? Reporting?  Worth the money?

 

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

 

Feel free to reply off list.

 

Thanks,

Heather
