Hi Faisal, 
 Thanks for reaching out to us. 
 Sophos PureMessage for Exchange currently has retirement dates announced for it, which means that it won't be receiving any major feature updates in the future. - PureMessage for Exchange: Retirement 
 UTM Email Protection will be sufficient to filter the inbound e-mails. If you'd like to test this, I recommend stopping/disabling the PureMessage services from the server where it's installed to see if this impacts the types of e-mails received in your environment. 
 Once tested, you can choose to decommission the PureMessage Exchange system.
