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.

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. 

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.

There are steps prior to use. First, I create all the relevant policies in the cloud. So that's something that can take months. Then I test and validate. The actual migration is straightforward. 

The deployment takes one week.

Symantec Messaging Gateway's initial setup is very easy.

Symantec Messaging Gateway had already been implemented when I joined the company, so I'm unable to give information on whether the setup for it was straightforward or complex.

The initial setup isn't too complex. That said, there are some challenges when you start stacking on different policies and stuff like that.

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.

The initial setup was easy.

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.

The initial setup is a very easy process. It is step-by-step and not complicated at all. It takes about half an hour to deploy.

Once installed, it is automatically updated so we are always using the latest version.

The initial setup of Symantec Messaging Gateway is straightforward.

The initial setup is pretty straight forward, however, you need to get the policies right. That part is complex. You need some guidance from support teams, or you need to read some articles or admin guides that can be found on Google.

Deployment took about 30 minutes.

I handle the maintenance on my own. It doesn't require a lot of personnel to manage it.

It was deployed before I started working on it, but I feel like it was easy.

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.

It was easy to set up the entire security suite. There were no constraints, which made it an easy installation for us.

The deployment was completed in two phases. We first had a week-long trial run on a small LAN segment to see how efficiently it would work. Once the trial run was successfully completed, it took two weeks for full implementation across the network.

Installation is easy, but we needed some configurations, so it took a week.

For the deployment and maintenance, we have one administrative person.

The setup is pretty much straight forward.
