Reviews

ActivIdentity 4TRESS Authentication Appliance FT2011

Multitenant, fraud detection support but it is pricey and a bit hard to use.

Deepnet Security DualShield v5.2

Biometric token support that is easy to deploy and use, but support is a bit pricey.

Cryptocard Blackshield Server v3.1

Set up and deployed easily and alerting was well done.

Trustwave DLP

Comes preconfigured and ready to drop into the network.

Astaro Security Gateway

Solid functionality with easy-to-manage policy controls, but it needs an easier way to change the default IP address.

PGP Universal Gateway Email

Typical PGP/Symantec reliability and support, but it needs to be a bit easier to use and deploy. It also can be pricey.
