I have been using that product for some time now. It does quite well and only requires minimal administration once set up. About 18 months ago I was due for renewal and hardware refresh, so I shopped around for what else was available in an appliance. I looked at Barracuda, Proofpoint, and Ironport in addition to the Borderware. The barracuda looked like it was inferior to all other products. The Proofpoint did look better than all the others but the cost was almost twice as much. The Ironport and the Borderware both evaluated similarly, but the sales rep for Borderware gave me a bigger discount due to being a current customer. Incidentally, if you are looking at the encryption module, both the Ironport and Borderware use the same engine - Cisco's Registered Envelope Service.
