Simple to use, great at blocking spam and easy to set up
What is our primary use case?
We primarily use it as an email gateway for security. We use it for blocking spam.
What is most valuable?
The solution overall is quite good.
The solution is a leader in anti-spam email products.
The performance is great. You can block 99% of spam emails. It's very effective.
The solution runs quite well.
The setup is pretty simple.
What needs improvement?
The issue with the solution has more to do with China than the product itself. Since it was purchased by Broadcomm, we've found there's been a general slide in terms of the local services we have access to and we are considering replacing them.
In a later release, it would be nice if the messaging gateway supported the cluster feature. We'd really like clustering as an option.
If you have installed the two messaging gateways, you cannot use the high-availability features of the two products. There needs to be higher availability. Other products provide a cluster feature, however, Symantec for the most part does not offer this.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using the solution for about ten years now. It's been a decade.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is very stable. We don't have issues with glitches and there aren't really any bugs. I've never experienced it crash or fail. It's reliable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We haven't needed to scale it, so I can't speak to the solution's level of scalability. It's not something we've attempted to do.
We have about 80 people in our organization using the product.
How are customer service and technical support?
I haven't opened a ticket from the technical support for a long time. We haven't really needed the support from assistance, to be honest. I can't really speak to their level of service at this time.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
It was ten years ago, and I was at a different organization, however, I do recall that we used Fortigate at that time.
I also currently use Symantec's Mail Security for Exchange. I use that for my emails alongside the Messaging Gateway.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup isn't complex. It's quite straightforward. I find it quite simple, as I have a decade of experience using it under my belt.
Deployment to my virtual machine only took about 30 minutes.
I hand over the maintenance to another team.
What about the implementation team?
I handled the deployment myself. I have a wealth of experience with the product. I don't feed outside help from consultants or integrators.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
If you would like to enable Symantec's Content Encryption, it's considered an extra feature. You need to buy it separately. I personally just have the anti-spam, antivirus and Premium Content Controller. These features are at no additional cost. New users just need to be aware that certain premium features will need to be purchased.
What other advice do I have?
We're just an end-user and customer. We don't have a special business relationship with the company.
I have the solution running on my virtual machine.
The solution is a really good product as far as email security is concerned.
I'd recommend the solution.
Overall, I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

Stable platform with a valuable knowledge base
What is most valuable?
Symantec Messaging Gateway has a huge knowledge base about phishing, spamming, spoofing, etc.
What needs improvement?
It is complicated to integrate the product with QRadar. This particular area needs improvement.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a stable platform.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We have three Symantec Messaging Gateway users in our organization. It could be more scalable.
How are customer service and support?
We do not contact them directly. An intermediate corporation contacts the technical support team on our behalf. They have good engineers, but they could respond faster to the queries.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup has medium complexity. It takes six to seven days for installation. However, improvement in the tool might take some more time.
It is easy to maintain and requires three executives to work on it.
What other advice do I have?
It is a good product. I recommend it to others and rate it an eight out of ten.

A stable on-premise email security solution that's easy to manage, but support could be better
What is our primary use case?
We use it as a perimeter gateway where it scans for spam. We use all the features and configure all the features, like malware and content filtering. But most of the requests come for content filtering, where we need filters based on some specific words or subjects or based on the reports that come from government agencies.
How has it helped my organization?
It helps us by protecting us from spam, and it also checks for viruses.
What is most valuable?
I like that it's simple and easy to configure, deploy, and manage. The reporting function has all the features we're looking for, and we are fine with that.
What needs improvement?
Support could be better. What's also lacking when you compare it with Proofpoint and other threat protection solutions is that it does the basic stuff, but we need more advanced threat handling.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been dealing with Symantec Messaging Gateway for about seven or eight years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
We have used it for many years, and I never faced any issues. Even if it crashes, let's say the VM itself rebooted or something, then it does Linux basic things and it comes back online.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We have a couple of nodes extended at the moment, and so far, we haven't had any issues with configuration, replication, or when the firmware is updated. It works fine.
How are customer service and technical support?
Technical support was good before they moved to Broadcom. After it went to Broadcom, the support quality degraded.
How was the initial setup?
It was deployed before I started working on it, but I feel like it was easy.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend this solution. I would tell potential users that it's simple and easy to configure, deploy, and manage.
On a scale from one to ten, I would give Symantec Messaging Gateway a seven.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

Solid and stable product, great support, highly scalable
What is our primary use case?
We use the solution for its advanced virus protection, phishing and other features.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for 1 year now.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a solid and stable product.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is a scalable product. We have deployed it for organizations with 200-5000 users.
How are customer service and technical support?
The support is really great.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have used Sophos Email other than Symantec Messaging Gateway.
How was the initial setup?
The setup is pretty much straight forward.
What about the implementation team?
We did the deployment of the product ourselves and it was a quick one.
What was our ROI?
Sometimes the solution picks up false positive for viruses during scans.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It's a bit expensive but they have licensing models to meet customer needs.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
It's a bit expensive compared to its competitor Barracuda Email Security Gateway but cheaper than Sophos Email.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend this product.
I rate Symantec Messaging Gateway an eight out of ten.

Easy to set up with good patching and reliable performance
What is our primary use case?
We primarily use the solution for security - to protect us from malware and to have anti-spam, content filtering. It's for that initial inspection of email before it gets into our environment.
What is most valuable?
The solution is stable and the performance is good.
Technical support, under Symantec, was good.
They were great at keeping up with patching.
The product could scale.
The initial setup wasn't too difficult.
What needs improvement?
Having the control center in just one place was difficult. Now that they are moving to the cloud, it will be less of an issue.
The solution is slightly outdated. The version that we have now is due to the fact that the company hasn't moved up to the latest version. They're on 10.6 and the latest version is 10.74 or something like that. They were four versions behind.
The biggest problem is it's an on-prem product and we're trying to get out of having equipment in data centers. The company wants the reliability that the cloud offers. That's the main justification for leaving that product. I know they offer a cloud solution, however, when you have Microsoft having it as part of a package and you're already kind of paying for something, it makes sense to move over, rather than have two solutions doing the same thing in one company.
For how long have I used the solution?
I worked for the company that I'm working at now, for 19 years, however, I was gone for six years. In that 19 years, I had about 10 years where I was using Symantec Messaging Gateway.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability is good. It's not buggy or glitchy. It works well. The performance is good.
I haven't messed with it in six years, and prior to that, there were not really any issues. It was a pretty good product, and they kept up with security patches. I noticed that we have a product that looks for vulnerabilities. If it's alarming, Symantec will come back and say, "No, we're good, we don't have that code in our product." They seem to have been pretty good with that.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It was pretty easy to scale. You just added more scanners. The one downside was you could only have one control center unless you wanted to manually keep two different control centers at two different data centers, and configure them the same.
That said, you'll never 100% have them alike. That's the one downside is that you're stuck with, no matter how you scale your scanners, in the DMZ, and you still have that one control center inside. That's how we deployed it. If we lose that data center, we lose that control center. There are some white papers out there now on how to make that change to a different control center, so it is possible, however, it's been a long time since I've looked at that.
We have about 15,000 end-users on the solution currently.
How are customer service and support?
Technical support was fine when it was Symantec. It might have changed since it was bought out by Broadcom. I can't speak to that.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We're moving over to Microsoft Defender P2.
I'm on a project now, however, the hardware's old as we bought it originally back when you bought the appliance from Symantec. Due to the fact that the hardware's old, and since the company's already paying for Microsoft, we've decided to just go full-on with the Defender P2 license, and pull that old hardware, and take the Symantec Messaging Gateway out. The goal is to get everything into the cloud.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup isn't too complex. That said, there are some challenges when you start stacking on different policies and stuff like that.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I didn't know the pricing when we bought it, and that was a long time ago. I can't speak to the exact costs.
What other advice do I have?
We are currently on the oldest version that's supported. It might be around version 10.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

The solution is easy to deploy, and stable, but has an outdated interface
What is our primary use case?
The primary use case of the solution is to future inbound and outbound emails, applying content, filtering policies, and power policies. Basically, the content filter is based on the dictionary words, and most of them integrate SMG with DLP to quarantine emails which violates the data protection policies.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature of the solution is the content filtering policies because the solution offers huge options for configuration, such as hardware manipulation, et cetera, and the dictionaries make the work easier.
What needs improvement?
The solution interface is from 2003 and is outdated. Symantec Messaging Gateway needs to update the interface.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for six years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I give the stability of the solution a ten out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I give the solution a five out of ten for scalability.
How are customer service and support?
The technical support capabilities are good, but the time response is not good.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is straightforward. I give the initial setup a nine out of ten.
Without counting the deployment time of the appliance, and we only look at the software portion, I believe three hours is sufficient for initial deployment without any advanced policies.
What was our ROI?
We have seen a return on investment because the solution can avoid a lot of phishing and infections in our environment.
What other advice do I have?
I give the solution a seven out of ten because it is a good solution for email threats, but it is becoming an outdated solution. In the near future, all companies will move their end-spend solutions and their email solutions to the cloud. To maintain an on-premise application in an environment now, I believe is not the best investment.
We require one analyst and one specialist for the deployment and maintenance of the solution.
The solution is becoming outdated because companies are moving towards cloud applications. I believe this solution will become deprecated in the near future because the solution does not integrate with the new COG mail solutions such as Office 365. We can manage the inbound and outbound emails, but we can not have full integration with these solutions.

Good protection, no maintenance required, and easy to set up
What is our primary use case?
We primarily use the solution for mail. All messages go through the gateway. It helps maintain security. It helps with spam and protects emails.
How has it helped my organization?
It helps avoid mail threats.
What is most valuable?
It protects against spam bots and messaging threats. It's a full solution for email. We do not get any phishing.
We do like that we do not need to manage everything. It's managed by Symantec.
The setup process is easy.
The solution is "set and forget". You pay for it and everything is done for you.
It is stable, for the most part.
It can scale. If you want more people to use it, you just buy more licensing.
What needs improvement?
We've had issues in the past where the user finds spam, and Symantec does not recognize it as spam. We had one person get 1,000 emails in two hours, and when we asked Symantec to look into it, they said it was not spam. As a user, you don't have much flexibility. You just get results. You cannot manage anything. They manage it, and you can't control it as you would like.
We would prefer if there is no downtime. We had experienced times when the site was down for four or eight hours.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've used the solution for three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
We've had some issues with stability where there was downtime for a few hours. Usually, over the last three years, there's rarely been downtime. It could be better. However, it is okay.
I'd rate the stability eight out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
You pay per user. If you need more users, you pay for the extra licenses.
We have 800 users on the solution right now.
The number of users is currently decreasing. We are not increasing usage.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We have used Trend Micro in the past. They are both good solutions. We moved from the appliance to the cloud. That was when we moved to Symantec.
How was the initial setup?
The implementation is very easy. It's a cloud setup and happens very fast. It only takes ten minutes to half an hour.
We do not have any maintenance that we need to concern ourselves with.
What about the implementation team?
We deployed the solution in-house. We did not need any assistance.
What was our ROI?
I've not looked into the ROI.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
You pay a licensing fee per user.
I don't know of the exact cost per license as licensing is not part of my scope of work.
What other advice do I have?
We're always on the latest version as it is a cloud product.
I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. I'd recommend a cloud service like this as it is easy to use, and you don't have to do a lot of maintenance.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

It's a highly customizable on-prem solution
What is our primary use case?
Symantec provides a layer of protection on the email gateway. It checks for malware, IP, domain, etc.
What is most valuable?
The solution is highly customizable. You can make rules for domains and configure policies for spam or malware. Messaging Gateway is an on-prem solution, so it's useful for companies without a cloud presence.
What needs improvement?
The documentation could have more detailed examples of how to use the product in various situations. As more companies shift to the cloud, they could better integrate the on-prem and cloud versions through an on-prem client.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have used Symantec Messaging Gateway for many years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate Messaging Gateway eight out of 10 for stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate Messaging Gateway eight out of 10 for scalability.
How are customer service and support?
I rate Symantec support eight out of 10.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Messaging Gateway is priced fairly.

A stable and reasonably priced solution that performs well and has a very good malware database
What is our primary use case?
We use the solution for email gateway security.
What is most valuable?
The product helps to filter spam messages, phishing attacks, and spoofing. These are some of the very good features of the product. The product performs well. Symantec’s spyware and malware signature database is very good compared to other products.
What needs improvement?
The product must improve the user dashboards. The user navigation is a little bit outdated. It should be made user-friendly. When we click certain links, it takes us to multiple other links.
The product must provide a feature to quickly increase the users or license model based on our needs. Though the product is good, the services are not up to the mark. The product’s technical and commercial services are very, very pathetic. That is why the solution is losing business.
For how long have I used the solution?
My organization has been using the solution for the past three to four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate the tool’s stability a nine out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate the tool’s scalability a six out of ten. The commercial department is lazy. These products only work with the licenses. Technically, the product is sound, but Symantec is not utilizing it fully due to poor management.
Assume I buy the product for 150 users today. If I add five users the next day, enabling licenses for the new users will be a tedious process. Around 150 people are using the solution in our organization.
How are customer service and support?
We also use Symantec for EDR for our servers and endpoint protection. The product is good, but services are not up to the mark.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is simple. We use Microsoft 365. Linking Microsoft 365 with the product is not tough. It gets synchronized within an hour. The tool is deployed on the cloud.
What about the implementation team?
We do not require consultants to deploy the solution. We use the Microsoft platform. We have to follow some easy steps. First, we have to enable it in Microsoft and choose where to route the link. Then, we have to put the URL given in Symantec in DNS. DNS could be located in Cloudflare or GoDaddy. When we place the URL, it gets automatically routed. Later, we must update the MX records or TXT records.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It is a tedious process to enable the license on the portal. The tool has a reasonable price. Compared to other products, Symantec quotes a very good price. The price is optimal. For 150 users, we pay INR 1,60,000.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Barracuda is a competitor. From a technical point of view, Symantec is superior. Microsoft Defender for Office 365 and Barracuda are not up to the mark. I compared these two products before buying Symantec. Symantec is better compared to other products. It has a good database.
What other advice do I have?
Since Symantec merged with Broadcom, they might have lost some good technical engineers. Maybe that’s the reason why the product is performing poorly. When we have a good marketing and sales team, even though our product cannot perform, we will sell it at a high price because of the buzzwords. However, at the end of the day, the product should perform. Most of the products might not perform.
Symantec is a very good product, but the services are basic. I rate the technical features of the product a nine out of ten. However, I would rate the services provided by the solution a six out of ten. Overall, I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

A secure product that has no downtime and enables organizations to keep their data safe
What is our primary use case?
We use the solution to secure our data and emails.
What is most valuable?
Symantec is a secure product. We faced no attacks when we used it. Symantec is a big name in the IT industry.
What needs improvement?
The solution takes up a lot of memory. The system becomes slow. The performance must be improved.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have used the solution for four to five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
We did not face any downtime, but updates take too much time. The product required a GUP server. We installed a GUP server in each location. Every system was updated from that location’s server so that the network traffic was reduced. We implemented this solution due to the slowness we faced in Symantec.
How are customer service and support?
We contact the local partners if we need support.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We were using Kaspersky before. Then, we switched to Symantec. Now, we have switched to Trend Micro because Symantec utilizes a lot of memory.
How was the initial setup?
The deployment takes one week.
What other advice do I have?
My team is responsible for implementation. We are at peace if our data is secure. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.

The product provides good content filtering options, but the false positive submissions must be improved
What is our primary use case?
I use the solution for email security.
What is most valuable?
The anti-malware and spam features are valuable. The product provides nice content filtering options. All the features are good. Everything works as a single entity.
What needs improvement?
The spam submissions must be improved. It doesn't get actioned if we submit the false positives using the system. The false positive submissions must be improved.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The tool is very stable. I rate the stability a seven out of ten. It's an on-premise application that runs on a virtual machine. It has dependencies on the hypervisor host that we're running it on. If it's not configured, the application can be influenced by it. Sometimes, there is a service stop error while the service is still running. Sometimes, the service just stops. Some policies do not act the way that we intend them to respond.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The tool is very scalable. We can scale it up and make it like a cloud solution if we want to. I rate the scalability a nine out of ten. We have more than 100,000 active mailboxes being scanned by the solution. It's not like an agent deployment that we put on the user's endpoints. It scans for emails.
How are customer service and support?
The product is tedious. When we set up the policy on some components, and it doesn’t work as intended, we call the support team. We must know if the policy is set up correctly, whether it works, and what alternatives we have. We have to keep up with the protection mechanisms in the application. Sometimes, the product falls a little bit behind. The product must be improved.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is not too easy, but not too difficult. I rate the ease of setup a five out of ten. If we manage the solution, we must know how it works. Otherwise, we will have some difficulty understanding how to sync it up. The ease of setup depends on how well we understand mail flows and image records. After the deployment, we must set up spam, anti-malware, and content filtering policies. We also have to define our domains. It is based on the client’s requirements.
What other advice do I have?
If someone doesn't have too much money to spend on cloud solutions like Mimecast or Symantec Endpoint Security, Symantec Messaging Gateway is a very good substitution that they can use to get decent security for their emails. The product is very scalable. Even if we have a cloud-based solution, we can place Symantec Messaging Gateway behind that solution as a secondary tool. Overall, I rate the product a seven out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Is easy to install and is stable and scalable
What is our primary use case?
We use it for content filtering and malware protection.
What is most valuable?
Symantec Messaging Gateway is stable and scalable.
Installation is easy, and the deployment and maintenance can be done by one administrative person.
What needs improvement?
It is a nice product but is not user friendly in terms of the graphical interface. It is poor and is not rich in terms of the human interface.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using it for a month.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is stable because we use a physical appliance.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability depends on how much you are willing to pay. You always have to pay if you have to scale the product or increase the number of machines. We have about 1,000 fixed users for Symantec Messaging Gateway.
How was the initial setup?
Installation is easy, but we needed some configurations, so it took a week.
For the deployment and maintenance, we have one administrative person.
What about the implementation team?
We implemented it ourselves using remote assistance from our supplier.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The cost of Symantec Messaging Gateway is too expensive in general. However, the appliance also includes the price of the license in the same bundle.
What other advice do I have?
I haven't been using it for very long, and in my short experience, it has been a good product. I would rate it at nine on a scale from one to ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises
