Pros When we used Mail Assure the product was easy and simple to use. It did what it said on the tin and was constantly being developed. Cons Like any N-Able (Solarwinds) product, customer support did seem to lack at times Alternatives considered [Avanan](https://www.capterra.com/p/170001/Avanan-Cloud-Security-Platform/)[SpamTitan](https://www.capterra.com/p/168436/SpamTitan/) Reason for choosing Mail Assure It came down to the decision to stay with the N-Able ecosystem and also a cost decision.

President Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Reducing unwanted email by 98% instantly" September 11, 2019 5.0 I LOVE this product and have started to offer it to entire client base. I have not heard any complaints from those that have been migrated to it and those on it... they LOVE the fact that the majority of the garbage has been eliminated! Pros How quickly it was able to be implemented in our organization. Modifying the reports and setting the security profiles was very intuitive. It captures over 98% of unwanted email and provides an easy to read report of anything that was caught... and a simple way to release it and enable to the system to 'learn' about this type of mail in the future. Cons Some of the reports were a little difficult to setup. This was the only part that was not very intuitive. The definition of 'row' and 'column' produces EXTREMELY different ports, but there is no easy explanation as to what those two definitions actually mean. Alternatives considered [Proofpoint Email Protection](https://www.capterra.com/p/175873/Proofpoint-Email-Protection/) Reason for choosing Mail Assure Price at the moment... we are still looking at the other product as they are working with us on the problems that were identified and we will be able to make a final decision as to which one will be used enterprise wide in the future. Switched from [SonicWall Email Security](https://www.capterra.com/p/175905/SonicWall-Email-Security/) Cost, features and ease of use Review Source RP Ryan P. System Engineer/Account Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Switch to Mail Assure" October 9, 2018 4.0 We switched off of EOP due to Office 365 support issues and the lack of it. Solarwinds provides much better support and access to staff instantly. We are still working out some bugs and learning the software but look forward to using it. Pros \- Mail Assure does a good job with locating and marking SPAM messages. The main and second class are helpful for creating rules in our Exchange to do things based on that marking - The overall filtering speed is quick and reliable - Mail Assure offers a bit of flexibility as compared to other vendors. Cons \- The console can be a little confusing for first time users - There is no ability for multiple admins to access all the domains - I receive a gateway timeout instead of no data message for one of the searches - We have already had a couple instances of bounce backs to our customers due to issues with Mail Assure - There needs to be more options for global setting we can push to all the domains to simply the setup of new domains - Support needs to escalate issues quicker to the engineering team for quicker responses and faster resolutions Review Source Adam S. Technical Director Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "An excellent email security filter" February 26, 2020 5.0 Our customers usually have a lot of negative things to say about the spam filtering service prior to Mail Assure, silence is golden! Pros Highly configurable, very accurate spam stopper Cons I personally found you need a fair bit of help with the configuration, but their technical sales and support team is A\* - I would recommend using them as much as possible during the setup phase to ensure everything is setup correctly. Switched from [Barracuda Email Protection](https://www.capterra.com/p/175506/Barracuda-Essentials/) Pricing, initially, but then once we switched we realised how much more advanced Mail Assure is. Review Source LW Lee W. Manager, Information Technology Legal Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Mail Assure Review" December 17, 2019 4.0 Mail Assure is protecting our business on the front end by stopping (and continuing to train) spam and malicious Email before it gets into our environment; therefore, I'd say it's doing a very good job to thwart off issues before they become an issue. Pros The implementation was very easy and quick to get started. We were up and running as soon as our ISP redirected our Email traffic to Mail Assure. Mail Assure is going a really good job in catching what it says it will catch. It caught over 18,000 messages within the first several days of operation. Cons Navigating around in the Web User Interface isn't quite as intuitive as I would like. It takes a bit of getting used to (mainly with regards to terminology and verbiage); however, once you learn the "lingo" and the "operations" of the dashboard, it becomes easier. Switched from [Google Workspace](https://www.capterra.com/p/247901/Google-Workspace/) Cost, mainly; and manageability of the product Review Source RK Rodney K. owner Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great email protection service!" September 12, 2019 5.0 Recently I found an increase in the spam traffic on the domains I am working with. Finally I had to make a decision which company to use for my protection. I took a long time searching and reading and found SolarWinds Mail Assure. When I contacted them they were most helpful and accommodating to meet my needs and help me get started. I was in a hurry to get my protection as soon as possible and the team of SolarWinds Mail Assure was very helpful to assist me to get started quickly. The service is very open to get to know it by means of a free trial. After trying the service I quickly found that this is exactly what I needed. The spam protection is very accurate. It is just like my CleanPort experience years ago, setup the service and after setting it up, I checked the logs occasionally and saw it's very accurate and so far, I didn't need any monitoring at all. After a week I could already see how much spam was blocked and didn't reach the mailboxes anymore. Pros The best feature about this software is how well it protects email traffic from spam and virusses. I used to be a customer of CleanPort which for some years has been discontinued. After this I didn't find a good service to replace it because CleanPort was absolutely perfect. Recently I had another careful search and read a lot about SolarWinds Mail Assure. One of the things I liked is that they are constantly improving and evolving their solutions. That is exactly what results in a reliable anti-spam and anti-virus protection, staying on top of things. Cons When I started to setup the service for my domains which needed protection, I first had to make myself familiar with the user interface and structure of the control pages. But this was relatively easy once I knew where everything can be found and took me about an hour to get things up and running for my domains. Everything you need is there in the user interface.

Infrastructure Technician Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Mail Assure review" November 17, 2022 4.0 It is a useful tool for archiving and journaling within a company. Pros It can be integrated with other products that we already use, and was low cost. Cons The dashboard feels slightly outdated and can be less than intuitive sometimes.

I like, that I always communicate with the same person. Pros Great customer support, and it does a good job at removing spam. Cons The web interface for setup and configuration is a little messy and sometimes extremely slow. Review Source Rex S. Owner Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great Solution for the $$$$" June 26, 2019 4.0 Great! Its easy once you take the time to learn it, which does not take very long, and remotely rolling out the software is pretty straight forward. Cost is low enough that you can make a good margin. Pros Its scalable and easy to setup. Designed for the small to medium MSP and allows for great control over the setup. Service is great with most questions and issues resolved same day. Cost is the major attraction, you get a lot for the price. Cons The interface could be better designed, and hopefully will be a little more straight forward as they continue to upgrade and release updates. Review Source Adrian T. Infrastructure Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Infrastructure Engineer" October 9, 2018 5.0 Pros Lots of available features, tools, reports and settings.

IT systems & networks support Cosmetics Used the software for: 2+ years ### "my review" July 11, 2019 4.0 not easy at the beginning .. the difficult parts is the communication between us and the support. 2x times .. the solardwinds server did a migration .. and we had all our local company emails stopped working because the new platform reinitialize and block all the incoming mails ... it will be nice to have some kind communication to help the customers to be aware and at least we can be prepared in advanced. just some notice will be helpull. Pros user friendly Cons Dashboard platform is reacting very slow and not fluid like some others panels on web browser .. Reason for choosing Mail Assure we are located in Ivory Coast (west Africa) .. and we needed a Email Relay services for incoming/outgoing because of the country IP adress is black listed.

October 9, 2018 5.0 Pros There was a little bit of a learning curve but once you configure the dashboard to suit your best needs, it is like a second buddy at work. Thanks to Mail Assure, I can keep an accurate account of all of our customers' usage for billing purposes. Cons It took a little bit of getting used to when you are running several different company domains through it. Certain features should be named using more user friendly terms. I had to contact support a few times to figure out some things I were looking for. Review Source DL Daryl L.

Pros Very easy to use after inital configuration. I haven't had any issues with spam emails. Cons The setup need help from tech to understand how to import current mailboxes.
