“Good marketing email filtering, bad UI/UX”

3.0
Mar 17, 2023
The product has generally done a good job of filtering out spam and phishing emails, which has helped to reduce the amount of unwanted messages for users. However, I've noticed occasional delays in delivery and the user interface is a bit clunky... sometimes you have to go digging in a labyrinth of settings. Overall, it does its job decently and the email filtering is actually pretty good, but whoever did the UI/UX design should be replaced.

Symantec Email Security.cloud Likes & Dislikes

Like

No major support needed. Product was configure 5 years ago. Minor maintenance is required

Like

1. Pretty solid email filtering to help cut down on annoying marketing emails 2. Email quarantine 3. Ability to export many types of data fairly easily

Like

Security, alert system

Dislike

Integration with Azure was a bit difficult with on premises services

Dislike

1. The cloud platform can be a bit slow at times 2. The user interface feels like it's stuck in the early/mid-2000s when UI/UX designers were still just throwing design elements at the wall and seeing what stuck 3. The confusing interface would then mean extra time spent researching how to do assumedly simple tasks, sometimes even having to contact support 4. Very little ability to add notes to configuration changes that have been made

Dislike

Sometimes unable to identify malicious attempt
