Zix here as well.  

Very easy to use.  Our users include "secure" in their subject line, and
Zix redirects the email to the secure portal where the recipient logs in
to retrieve it.

 

So here's some ammo for you when people start crying... and they will
cry.

This is why I use ZixCorp for email encryption...  30 million users.

 

"Zix Corporation (ZixCorp), (NASDAQ-NMS: ZIXI), the leader in email
encryption services, has announced that ZixDirectory(r), its shared
email encryption network, has registered its 30 millionth member."

 

"Growing at approximately 100,000 members per week"

 

"ZixDirectory is the largest email encryption network in the world and
provides the foundation of ZixCorp Email Encryption Services."

Listed in the ZixDirectory are many of the nation's most influential and
trusted institutions, including:

*             The US Federal Banking Regulators

*             More than 20 State Banking Regulators

*             U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission

*             Over 1,500 financial institutions in the U.S.

*             More than half of the Blue Cross Blue Shield Institutions

*             Health insurance customers protecting over 85 million
Americans

*             (1 in 5) hospitals in the U.S.

Almost all of our healthcare clients use Zix.  Either the application
provider has integrated it into the messaging part of their application
or they provide an appliance and we integrate it with their email
solution.  More and more we are seeing the application providers
(EMR/PM) providing this as part of their package.  

 

For non medical clients or those that are not doing EMR/PM, an example
is our billing agencies are almost exclusively on Zix because all the
hospitals are and it provides that seamless email that's encrypted.

 

We also setup TLS for any clients that have business relationships
(Contract) and sign the appropriate HIPAA forms, so that they can
essentially send email encrypted between each other without the expense
of Zix.  Usually a billing company and their corresponding client, or
manufacturer... This is not my recommended way because it requires
manually configuring TLS for each client, but Exchange 2010 makes this
really easy.

 

The integration part of ZIX is pretty straight forward.

Subject: email encryption

 

Hi all,

We provide hosted Zimbra and Exchange email to customers, as well as
manage customers' on-site mail servers. 

More and more we are getting requests to provide outbound email
encryption service as well.

We reviewed a few solutions: Barracuda, McAfee and Zix, and chose
McAfee, since they are 100% cloud based and also provide inbound
filtering and archiving solutions. Their pricing model also makes it
easy to start out small and grow. 

However, we are running into people, especially in healthcare, who feel
Zix is a better solution for them. As far as I know, all these solutions
basically require the recipient to log into a secure portal in order to
retrieve the secured message, and in healthcare, with so much private
information, the risk is that everybody will have to log into 15 portals
daily to retrieve secure emails from their partners, which nobody likes
the idea of. 

Zix's way to capture the market, as far as I can tell, is to enable full
encryption when Zix customers send to other Zix customers, without the
use of a secure portal. In other words, it's transparent to the
end-user. Only if the recipient is not also using Zix will they be
required to log into a secure portal to retrieve a secure message. 

So, we feel considerable pressure to resell Zix instead of McAfee. 

But before committing, we wanted to see what other people out there are
doing, and what their experience has been. 

Some concrete questions:

*  Have you used Zix and if so, do you have an opinion of it?

*  Do you have a sense about how many health care organizations,
hospitals, and Practices are using Zix (vis a vis other products)?

*  Why are/are'nt you using Zix?

*  Is it easy to use?

*  Is Zix interoperable with other encryption products, and might you
share any specifics?

*  Have you any experience with McAfee encryption?  Opinion?  How Many
are using?

Thanks for any and all feedback anyone is willing to share. 

Thanks,
Adam
