Topsec Review
From day 1 Topsec and the team have made everything seamless for us and our clients. As a reseller we rely on top level products with support services to match and Topsec delivers this!
I would not hesitate to recommend both them and their products to anyone looking to improve their security.
Pros
Topsec software has proved itself time and time again. Their portal is easy to use and security is second to none.
Cons
Not had a single problem with any of our installs.
Response from Topsec Cloud Solutions

User Review
Overall it is a very good product which does give a level of peace of mind to know a lot of potentially dangerous emails are blocked before getting to our domain. From previous discussions with the team at Topsec, the cons mentioned above will be addressed in the new portal to be released soon. We look forward to having that new portal.
Pros
SPAM checking and filtering done by TOPSEC which weeds out a lot spam mail before it gets to our Exchange.
The ability to quarantine \ hold up incoming emails based on attachment size and type.
The ability to maintain and modify our own blacklist of email addresses
Trustwave for its functionality to check new URL's accessed for their authenticity \ safety.
Cons
The inconsistent session duration – sometimes can stay logged in all day, other times can get prompted to login again after a very short period.
The inability to download \ zip multiple attachments in emails which are held up (e.g. Having to manually download 20 attachments as opposed to a single .zip of them).
Trustwave at times can be slow to load / process URL’s.
When going into the message viewer sometimes we get inconsistent results with “long running scripts” message appearing which results in having to restart whichever browser we are using (happens in IE11 and Chrome). This tends to happen most when quarantined emails contain larger attachments (15-20 MB+) or a large number of attachments.

Top Sec Email Security
I have a very good experience with Topsec. Staff are always on the ball and very helpful
Pros
Security of our internal systems are well protected as emails with virus are blocked before entry to the system.
Cons
Short length of time that an blocked email is held for.
Response from Topsec Cloud Solutions
Hi Patrice,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
It's always great to get positive feedback but we also like hearing about issues our users may be encountering . I'm not fully clear as to what you mean by the Cons . Could you give us is call in the office on 01-4263300 and we can go through it with you as I feel we have a function in place already that will alleviate that problem you might be having.
Thanks again and talk soon
______________________________________

Topsec Blockmail
Managing corporate email security is an ongoing challenge, and even a security aware end-user base, human errors happen. With TopSec Blockmail we have an effective method of helping to protect our email environment before mail hits our mail servers. We have been using the service for several years and found it to be an extremely useful mail screening tool.
Pros
Probably the most significant element of any product for me is the aftersales support, the guys in Topsec are second to none, extremely efficient and knowledgeable in their field. The product itself is very effective at stopping email borne malware. Simple, intuitive interface with easy to understand and implement. Very easy to develop granular rules to block, quarantine or allow email based on a whole range of criteria including sender, content etc. . Building on pure email filtering, we have also engaged topsec to provide Trustwave link repudiation which adds an additional layer of security.
Cons
EMail filtering is time consuming but necessary task for many IT departments. however, the time spent releasing emails pales in comparison to the time spend mopping up a malware incident and therefor we consider Topsec Blockmail a critical part of our security defense strategy
Response from Topsec Cloud Solutions
Thank You for the review. It means a lot to all the Topsec team.
If there is anything you need from us please give us a call or pop an email to any of the guys & gals who will be only too glad to assist you..

Excellent Product
Topsec Email Security has been our spam filtering system of choice for the last 3 - 4 years and we continue to recommend it.
Pros
We have been using this product for a number of years now and recommend it to all our clients for the email filtering.
It is very easy to setup - Topsec configure and manage the rules as required.
Our clients can manage their own quarantine and whitelists or we can manage these for them as needed.
URL filtering for links in emails adds an extra level of protection.
The support from Topsec is excellent.
Cons
Very little.
Can only access the portal from specified ip addresses which can be a bit restrictive when we are out of the office.
Response from Topsec Cloud Solutions
Thanks Des for all the positive feedback, we really appreciate our longstanding partners taking time out of their schedules to leave reviews for other potential clients.
With regards to IP Address restriction we see this as an additional security feature but we have listened to you and our other partners , we recognize the difficulty this can cause you guys so as part of the new platform in July the restriction on IP Address can be lifted should you wish.
Hope this helps, see you soon.

Topsec Email Security
The product does what it needs to do which is block most of the rubbish that is sent through email.
Pros
The product does its job seamlessly and transparently. Like all such products there are always the occasional false positive but these are easily retrieved and having addresses or sender domains whitelisted is straight forward. The support service is easy to contact and deal with and make any required changes (such as IP addresses) to the service so there is no risk of the user messing up the setup.
Cons
Although the service has a comprehensive control panel some settings which you might expect to be able to control yourself, such as whitelisting of an address is not fully available.
Response from Topsec Cloud Solutions
Thanks Sandy, really appreciate all the positive feedback and we take on board fully the items we can improve upon.
With our new platform which is being released in July you will have a brand new customer portal with improved functionality , better reporting and enhanced features that you can manage yourself . This will alleviate all the minor issues you might be having

Blended Threats is a super addition to the email security service , many of our clients choose to ad this on and the results have been excellent to date.

Achieving peace of mind with top email security that you need
Top email security for our business
Excellent customer service & Support
Topsec has always taken customer opinions & needs into account and has taken serious steps to improve customer experience.
Pros
Email Security Best Practices
Email Security Options
Continual threat updates for email security/ rules to keep company's data safe
Excellent Customer Service & Customer Support
Daily & Monthly Reports - Email Security Awareness and Usage Report
Cons
Sometime (but not very often) a legitimate email can be stopped by Topsec.
But then it is safer to stop these, rather than running the risk.
These emails can then safely & easily be released by using the Topsec user-friendly Dashboard.
Response from Topsec Cloud Solutions
Thanks Diana for taking the time to leave a review, it means a lot to all the team to get such positive feedback.
Even the cons we appreciate as we are always evolving to try improve on the total offering.
We work so hard to give a quality service and with that we must give quality support, it is great you notice the support being offered and can appreciate its value.

Topsec Email Security
Attacks can severely impact your business operations and affect your data. Topsec email security effectively protects your emails against inbound malware, spam, phishing, and Denial of Service attacks.
Pros
Portal is easy to use
Service made very simple by knowledgeable support team
Excellent Value for money
Does everything we need from an email security service
Cons
None of any note. I would rather have to send an odd email to have an email we need released than have out system attacked.
Response from Topsec Cloud Solutions
Thanks Suzanne for taking the time out to leave a review.
Great to hear you are happy with all the relevant features of our service.
I will be in touch over the coming weeks to show you our brand new platform which has loads of excellent new features we chatted about previously.

Topsec - provide excellent service for our IT department
The amount of time spent checking if emails were spam or not, checking staff emails for Virus was huge. Topsec have eliminated the need for that and done this at a very reasonable cost!
Pros
Topsec's system is easy to use and the service the Topsec lads provide is second to none. We used to receive a huge amount of spam and the risk from Virus infection was huge but Topsec have eliminated all that for us.
Cons
I can honestly say that there is nothing I don't like about Topsec's software or service.
Response from Topsec Cloud Solutions
Susan thank you so much for the excellent review. We value our clients feedback and to get one as positive as this really does mean a lot.
We will continue to keep up the good work and keep the bad stuff out for you.
Talk soon and thanks again.

Highly Recommended
Pros
TopSec is reliable and easy to use. TopSec has caught all potential viruses and threats. When an email is quarantined, the relevant employee is immediately notified. From an admin perspective, the portal is straightforward to use and allows you to review quarantined messages prior to releasing them. On the very odd occasion I have had to call the customer support team, they have been more than helpful and efficient.
Cons
There is nothing I would class as a 'Con'.
Response from Topsec Cloud Solutions
Thank you so much Jennifer for the excellent review,it is very much appreciated by all of the team here at Topsec.
Our support guys do a super job so I will be sure to pass on your comments.

TopSec Secures our Clients
We find this solution is great to offer our clients. It enhances our products we currently provide and the support from Topsec is excellent.
Pros
Easy to manage software, does what it is meant to do, stop all the illegitimate emails getting through
Cons
Setting up a individual rule, but the team in Topsec do that for us, so it really is not a problem
Response from Topsec Cloud Solutions
Thanks Conor,
We really appreciate the feedback and we're delighted to hear all is going well with the service and the support.
It's a small thing and as you said we do it for you but on the new platform coming in a few weeks time you guys will be able to do more of the changes around rules and policy should you wish . We will continue to do it for you should you prefer that option.
Thanks again,

Email Security
From the outset the move from our old provider to Topsec was made very easy . Dedicated account manager and tech support buddy to bring you through the transition. Once set up and functional we weren't just left alone to operate ourselves. We have regular interactions with support and receive nice market trends updates from their sales & marketing team . All in all a very accessible company who I'd happily recommend
Pros
Ease of use , client portal , value for money , little extra functions provide in the standard service and the excellent support.
Cons
Interface could do with an overhaul but not a deal breaker as functions are there
Response from Topsec Cloud Solutions
Andrew,
Thank you for the recent review , all very positive . We do pride ourselves on the support and general service we give our customers so it nice that this is recognized.

Review of Blockmail service from Topsec
In general, I find the system very good to use, but it too me a while to understand hoe the rules operate and the different levels of security involved.
Pros
The system is quite easy to use and retrieve a list of what has been blocked.
Cons
It could be made easier to see which emails have been blocked and which have been released. Some times, I have to click in the mail Information to conform the status of the mail. Maybe colour coding could be used.
Response from Topsec Cloud Solutions
Thanks Philip , great to hear you are happy with how things are going . As a longstanding client we take your feedback very seriously as it helps us insure we continually improve.
Our new platform which will be along very shortly will give you lots of new options and informative features that will help you when looking for information pertaining to emails , quarantined etc . We will be in touch in the next few weeks to bring you up to speed. Thanks Again.
