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.

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.
