“UX has room for improvement”

3.0
Jul 29, 2025
We use the email protection suite. The log-in probably is the same for all services. The log-in screen defeats password managers, making it really cumbersome to log in. It starts off showing only the user name. That means a password manager cannot be used until I remember which user name I used for this particular service. And I might not because I'm using hundreds of services with different user names and passwords - to stay nice and secure. Password managers help us stay secure and this tool defeats the purpose. Half the time the interface fails to load its words for things, so we're looking at placeholder codes where descriptive words should have been. It's always a guess whether the interface will be usable or not.

Sophos Email Likes & Dislikes

Like

Sophos Email is easy to set up and navigate. I like effectiveness of the software in spam detection and smooth integration with other products. The software has amazing outbound email monitoring capabilities and anti malware systems. Flexibility in pricing easy customization.

Like

We like that this is part of a package deal that includes other kinds of protections, giving us a single dashboard for all of them. Personally I don't have access to that, but my team mates do. I also like that the emails sent by the email protection suite have hotlinks in them to act instantly, rather than forcing me to log in first to execute those actions.

Like

The administration interface is very simple and intuitive, facilitating daily management without too much complexity.

Dislike

Sophos software services are very reliable and effective. No dislike.

Dislike

By default, the overview of quarantained emails shows only the most recent week worth of emails. But the summary counts how many there are altogether. So the summary could show 2, then I click into it to review and see only 1. Then I have to remember: oh yeah, it's limited by date and won't show the other until I happen to find the lower cut-off date that includes the other one. Let's start hunting!

Dislike

Reliance on manual adjustments to optimize some policies and reduce unnecessary alerts
