Is anyone using Cisco Cloud Email Security? (hosted IronPort)

[abhimanyu2]

I'm planning to move form my onsite IronPort C170 pair to Cisco Cloud hosted. Costs year-over-year are the same but there are some extra benefits of the cloud solution that I don't have onsite, such as a management appliance is included and geographically dispersed data centers.

Trying to get some real world feedback before I make the plunge.

i do not see any issue here, the same way we do it onsite, as you mentioned cloud has new features, and if you are geolocated maybe take advantage, any way of you use any 0365 this is the best way to move forward.

Note : you need to allow access from Local users to outside Cisco cloud services for the users to use SMTP and other stuff.
