Mailock Reviews for Indian Users
Alternatives Considered:
Excellent encryption product
Comments: Fantastic! Our clients tell us all the time how much better our encrypted email is easy to use.
Pros:
It is easy for the recipient to open encrypted emails. On the company side, using the software is intuitive and straightforward. The best encryption email out there and we have tried a lot.
Cons:
No cons only a couple of wish list items - 1. SMS for USA. Only in England so far. 2. Add Signature block for the online version. We do not use the desktop Outlook and use Outlook 365 instead so there is no signature integration.

Hi Tony, Thank you for the fantastic review! We're thrilled that Mailock is meeting your needs and that your clients find it easy to use. We appreciate your suggestions regarding SMS support for the USA and the signature block for Outlook 365. We're actively working on these features to enhance your experience. Thanks again for choosing Mailock!
Alternatives Considered:
Very Solid for a single address
Comments: Largely positive, recently its causing more problems as we have advisers that work for on two seperate company domains for different areas of business, as two two aren't allowed to share an account for compliance and branding purposes (one of the company domains is externally managed by a larger company),
Pros:
the outlook integration is particularly useful, especially with older users who are used to using the desktop outlook for email
Cons:
The number of clicks required to send or receive mail is too high, to be honest I have no valuable suggestions here, but at times maillock feels clunky and laborious to use, though this is inherent to the kind of end point security used. A more fleshed out web interface for sending and opening mail would be much better
Good software but huge troubles
Comments: Quite frustrating as it is a service that was promoted to us via our compliance consultants but does not meet our requirements. I believe that Mailock are in regular contact with financial services providers with regards to their software but most are still unable to accept or open emails from Mailock. This doesn't help when we are trying to communicate securely with providers.
Pros:
Mailock was introduced into our firm to improve the security of our communications with our clients and providers. The software is easy to use and I specifically like the prompts to secure emails with key words.
Cons:
We have experienced a huge amount of trouble using the software to send information to providers in the financial services industry. Most providers have reported that they are unable to open encrypted emails from Mailock and we have had to resort to sending information requests by post. Not ideal when the purpose was to send information securely to providers.
Alternatives Considered:
Great for IT admins, easy interface for end users
Comments: Fairly painless and enjoyable.
Pros:
It was quite easy to get it set up and going, the unlocking/decrypting process is quite painless for the recipient.
Cons:
I have to sign back into the outlook add in quite often. Sometimes the emails get stuck in my outbox also.
Mailock Review 2023
Comments: Overall Mailock has been very beneficial to the company in allowing us to send messages and documents securely and relatively simply.
Pros:
The integration of mailock into our business and daily routines was relatively simple. It's very easy to use when sending and receiving messages and the ability to set up an account, which provides free messages each month for client's to send, is a real benefit.
Cons:
It would be beneficial if, once a client has set up an account with one person in the company, the account was linked to all people within the company. It can be difficult/annoying trying to explain to client's why some of us still have to send the client a code, even though they have set up an account. It would also be good if messages didn't expire, as client's like to look back through their messages.
Peace of mind
Pros:
The ease of use. No complicated set ups and fantastic support.
Cons:
No long term storage of messages. A number of clients have requested a ‘portal’ type service where they can log in and retrieve old messages.
Mailock Email Security Review
Comments: I am able to be compliant with my client information and emails without compromise. Also, recipients can access emails and secure attachments without having to register or sign up to a secure server.
Pros:
It is simple to use. It bolts on and works perfectly with Outlook and I have not needed to change the wy in which I manage my emails
Cons:
Sometimes clunky and slow (but who cares really)
Easy simple and user friendly
Pros:
How easy it is to use and how easy it is for the end user to open encrypted emails.
Cons:
not found anything I don't like about the software its pretty simple to use and just works

Keeping your data secure
Pros:
The ability to send documents to clients and colleagues securely with no complicated process for them to access them when received
Cons:
The system in the main works well. Sometimes the outlook add-in is disabled by Microsoft which is annoying but easily resolved.
Mailock Review
Comments: As a service we are generally very happy with it.
Pros:
It works well but is sometimes not favoured by the user at the other end. As a service we are generally very happy with it and it is easy enough to use.
Cons:
It is not the product that is not enjoyed by the end user but the fact that they have to jump through encryption hoops at all. This is clearly no fault of the Mailock service itself which works well.

The Encrypted email features are easy to use and setup for other people to have secure access to the information/files that you are trying to send them.

Pros:
Very useful e-mail address double check check step avoids sending e-mails to the wrong person.Ability for clients to e-mail me back securely.
