Case Study: City of Alexandria achieves 95% spam reduction and $30K+ in savings with SonicWall Email Security

City simplifies management of email security and lowers costs with a SonicWall Email Security

The City of Alexandria, Louisiana, a local government with roughly 650 networked PC users across multiple sites, was struggling with ineffective and hard-to-administer Barracuda email appliances that let too much spam through. To address the problem, the city—working with partner Kinetix Technologies—deployed SonicWall Email Security Appliance and SonicWall Email Security Virtual Appliance alongside its existing SonicWall NSA firewalls and SMA solutions.

SonicWall’s email security solution achieved a 95 percent reduction in spam reaching user mailboxes, simplified administration through user-managed junk boxes and integrated content filtering, and eliminated prior management headaches. The City of Alexandria reports an initial cost savings of $30,000 and projected annual savings of $15,000 after switching to SonicWall.
