Multi-layered protection has secured our data and delivers strong ROI with adaptive defenses

  • March 21, 2026
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

My main use case for Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is data protection. I use Proofpoint Enterprise DLP as a multi-layered protection tool that we utilize to secure our data. As it has several protection layers, it will not be easy to harm our data from outside.

What is most valuable?

The best features that Proofpoint Enterprise DLP offers are scalability and performance. Scalability and performance stand out for me because we wanted to have a fast, instant response and also a fast scalability system, ensuring that if we add more data, it will be easy to protect.

Proofpoint Enterprise DLP has positively impacted our organization because we previously used other tools and firewalls, but by using this DLP tool from Proofpoint, we gained a lot on ROI. I've noticed that we gained less cost and profitability, and we gained substantial financial benefits.

What needs improvement?

For improvement, I think adding more AI-powered features would be beneficial for Proofpoint Enterprise DLP. I would like to see specific AI features for protection and prevention added to Proofpoint Enterprise DLP. I don't see any other improvements needed for Proofpoint Enterprise DLP besides more AI-powered features.

  • March 03, 2026
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

My main use case for Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is email filtering for both spam and malicious attachments and phishing.

What is most valuable?

The volume of things that it catches that are important is high. The benefit so far has been that we haven't had any serious compromises as a result of phishing attempts or malicious attachments that came through.

It certainly keeps our users' inboxes clean.

The fact that we haven't had any serious security incidents related to malicious attachments is a testament to the solution's impact on our organization positively.

It saves us a good amount of time, which has impacted our team's workload and our organization's security posture overall.

In my experience, the best feature of Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is quarantine management, and the thoroughness of the solution is appreciated.

What needs improvement?

I have no complaints about how Proofpoint Enterprise DLP can be improved.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Proofpoint Enterprise DLP for at least 10 years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability of Proofpoint Enterprise DLP hasn't been an issue so far.

How are customer service and support?

Customer service has been good so far, but I haven't had to address customer support for any issues.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I did not previously use a different solution.

How was the initial setup?

I was not involved with the pricing, setup cost, or licensing. I am involved with managing the solution.

What was our ROI?

We have seen a return on investment from using Proofpoint Enterprise DLP, by virtue of how few incidents we have had related to email compromise.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I don't recall if I evaluated other options before choosing Proofpoint Enterprise DLP.

What other advice do I have?

If one is looking for a bulletproof solution, then Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is the answer.

I feel confident enough in the solution's effectiveness in detecting and preventing threats through the analysis of email content and user behavior that I would choose to keep it, even if we switch to Microsoft E5 licenses, and we have had no incidents to speak of related to malicious attachments or malware infections.

I don't really see the unified platform aspect of Proofpoint Enterprise DLP as unified. It's an additional layer, and we are okay with that additional layer of security.

Data protection has strengthened email monitoring and prevents sensitive information leaks

  • February 28, 2026
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is helping us monitor who is doing what and who is sharing data over emails, whether within the organization or outside the organization. The most primary use case is securing our data and ensuring customer confidential information is not shared outside the organization.

One classic example is tracking whether any PII information, such as Aadhaar card numbers, account numbers, employee IDs, or professional email addresses in India, are being shared outside the organization.

Proofpoint Enterprise DLP provides many out-of-the-box use cases and best practices which help us utilize those and, to some extent, edit them as per our requirements to segregate the data.

What is most valuable?

Data recovery and classification is valuable, as it classifies where sensitive data such as PII information, IP, or financial data lives and helps classify it according to the data segregation or data category it falls into.

It has helped us tremendously to ensure our esteemed customers that whatever data our SMEs, security practice team, or SecOps team uses or may access from their customer data is being kept safe with us and is not being shared across the organization or outside the organization. That is one of the assurances we can give to customers while relying on Proofpoint Enterprise DLP.

I have examples where a few team members or employees mistakenly, or maybe intentionally, shared customer data over email, and those were caught by Proofpoint Enterprise DLP. This triggers an alert to our security team, and they immediately investigate those emails and the data. That helps us educate our employees and set up awareness trainings for them so that they are aware of which data can be shared over email and which should not be.

What needs improvement?

Currently, it seems to have all the features enabled. However, if Proofpoint could create some custom or out-of-the-box dashboards which help the organization, or CIO or CISO-level people, to get a view of how much data is being shared within a week or month, they could plan internal trainings or speak to their cybersecurity teams to improve the security posture or the use cases they have deployed.

Custom or out-of-the-box dashboards for CIO or CXO level people would help more.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been in cybersecurity for ten years since 2016.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is quite stable. I have not seen any downtime or anything of that nature.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is scalable and configurable and can support any kind of infrastructure and any kind of networks. Scalability-wise, Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is fine.

How are customer service and support?

Customer support is excellent. They provide support as per the SLAs they have, depending upon the situation and depending upon the case we open with them. Support is perfectly fine.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We are using Proofpoint Enterprise DLP currently. We did not work on another solution and migrate to Proofpoint.

How was the initial setup?

Integrations, support, and other things are easy to use, more user-friendly and architect-friendly. I do not have anything to add.

What about the implementation team?

We do have a partnership or alliance team who help us in setting up, initiating discussions, or taking them to the final stage or the solutioning stage.

What was our ROI?

The return on the investment is in securing the organization data, training the people, and making sure that the data which lies with our organization or our department is safe.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The market value or market standard which Proofpoint holds means the cost is as per the services they offer. The licensing model is perfectly fine.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We did not explore other options because we know what kind of services or assurance Proofpoint gave customers, so we chose Proofpoint directly.

What other advice do I have?

Based on our experience and my experience, I usually prefer to recommend Proofpoint Enterprise DLP to customers and friends who are working in other organizations. I convince them with the level of services or level of assurance we are getting from Proofpoint Enterprise DLP. I share my experience with them to encourage them to opt for Proofpoint Enterprise DLP. I would rate this product a nine out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Private Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Visibility into sensitive email patterns has improved while policy templates still need work

  • February 28, 2026
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

My main use case for Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is to protect sensitive information such as Canadian IDs, such as SIN.

A specific example of how I use Proofpoint Enterprise DLP to protect information such as Canadian IDs or SIN is when Proofpoint detects an email that is being sent externally and there's information containing SIN. Proofpoint performs automated encryption for the email.

I have plans to use Proofpoint Enterprise DLP to prohibit corporate emails from getting leaked out to people's personal email.

What is most valuable?

I'm not sure yet what the best features of Proofpoint Enterprise DLP are.

Detailed reporting and automated encryption stand out to me among the features mentioned, such as automated encryption, advanced content detection, unified policy management, and detailed reporting.

Detailed reporting and automated encryption have helped me because, since our DLP is on monitoring mode, the reporting helps us check how many users are currently sending emails with sensitive information.

Proofpoint Enterprise DLP has had a positive impact on my organization by providing benefits for visibility at this time.

The visibility I get is mainly about seeing users who send sensitive data.

What needs improvement?

I think Proofpoint Enterprise DLP could be improved by including templates.

My main suggestion for needed improvements is the inclusion of DLP template policies which cater to the Canadian landscape.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working in my company since 2014.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I have no comment on the scalability of Proofpoint Enterprise DLP.

How are customer service and support?

The customer support for Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is very good.

I would rate the customer support a 10 on a scale of 1 to 10.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I did not previously use a different solution for DLP.

How was the initial setup?

Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is deployed in my organization using Proofpoint Cloud.

What was our ROI?

I have not seen a return on investment with Proofpoint Enterprise DLP as we are still on monitoring mode.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I did not evaluate other options before choosing Proofpoint Enterprise DLP.

What other advice do I have?

The effectiveness of Proofpoint Enterprise DLP helps us learn the behavior of a user over time, allowing us to distinguish if the user is committing certain scenarios that are not beneficial for the company.

The unified platform aspect of Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is important for my organization, but we still don't have that.

My advice to others looking into using Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is that they should evaluate it thoroughly.

Adaptive protection has prevented data leaks and reduces manual effort for sensitive email handling

  • February 27, 2026
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

My main use case for Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is to block business data from getting misused, for example, in case of a phishing email or when there are cloud applications that need to be protected, and for compliance purposes.

A specific example of how I have used Proofpoint Enterprise DLP to block business data or protect cloud applications involves integrating with SOAR tools like ServiceNow, which helps in speeding up the investigation and response times, generates a threat summary to provide automated summaries of complex threats, and protects teams or, for example, Zoom calls using secure collaboration tools by scanning malicious content, URLs, and file sharing.

What is most valuable?

The best features Proofpoint Enterprise DLP offers so far have been related to SOAR tools and the summary. The adaptive email feature helps in identifying if a user is sending sensitive information to the wrong recipient, which is a good example I would like to highlight, along with the ability to identify unique custom identifiers for my business and to obtain specific account numbers or internal ID formats.

The adaptive email feature helps me in tracking and automatically identifying if a user is sending sensitive information to the wrong recipient and provides real-time warning banners to nudge users when they are about to make a mistake or reduce accidental data loss.

Proofpoint Enterprise DLP has positively impacted my organization by tracking emails and preventing data leaks.

What needs improvement?

Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is currently very good. It could become more user-friendly for someone who is not from the DLP field and could also help someone from a finance domain by integrating it with other domains as well.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Proofpoint Enterprise DLP for one year. With my previous employer, I used it frequently. Here, it is not as frequent because my current organization does not have extensive usage, but for my own projects and a business I am doing, I use it.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability is pretty decent and able to scale almost everything for the purpose it serves.

How are customer service and support?

Customer support is good with a quick response and great feedback. On a scale of one to ten, I would rate the customer support around an eight because they have been very helpful whenever the need arose.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I previously used a different solution, but I cannot disclose this due to confidentiality.

How was the initial setup?

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing was straightforward. Pricing was relatively higher, but it was still worth it.

What about the implementation team?

I have seen a return on investment. Fewer employees are needed now, and the team has been reduced in number, so time and money have both been saved.

What was our ROI?

I have seen a return on investment. Fewer employees are needed now, and the team has been reduced in number, so time and money have both been saved.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I evaluated other options before choosing Proofpoint Enterprise DLP, but I cannot disclose the options.

What other advice do I have?

The technology and tool are very useful for my organization, and I do not have many complaints about it.

Proofpoint Enterprise DLP will help me in identifying data leaks and ensuring that sensitive information stays within the organization.

Adaptive information protection has influenced my organization's approach to data security to a great extent, and most of the data remains secure.

The unified platform aspect of Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is very important for my organization because it is sensitive to data leaks, and I deal with data-sensitive information.

Monitoring problematic copilot use is a good opportunity to explore.

My advice to others looking into using Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is to know the tool first and then explore other options and compare. Proofpoint is definitely the best.

Continuous email monitoring has improved data protection and strengthened insider risk control

  • February 27, 2026
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

My main use case for Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is security, cybersecurity, as well as insider threat management.

If someone is trying to send an email that contains credit card information or a SIN number or some identifying sensitive information, Proofpoint is able to analyze it and either block or alert.

Proofpoint Enterprise DLP provides continuous monitoring, alerting, blocking, as well as analyzing emails and traffic, and also protecting any sensitive data across email.

Especially when an employee is leaving the organization, we set up additional alerts on the user to see if there is any data being infiltrated out. Also, any incidents where malicious email was detected, we can check if there was any suspicious activity across sensitive data on their email.

We have been leveraging the email DLP for quite some time, and we have not had any incidents per se, but the alerting has helped us coach our users in better use of sensitive data.

What is most valuable?

Proofpoint Enterprise DLP helps us in continuously inspecting user behavior and also automatically detecting sensitive data and risky user actions, which betters our security posture for our organization.

Proofpoint Enterprise DLP has improved our security posture overall. It has helped us in developing privacy controls and also in speeding up incident investigations.

Proofpoint Enterprise DLP has a cloud native design and is focused on protecting user emails by analyzing their behavior as well as protecting sensitive data.

Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is under the same umbrella as Proofpoint email protection, so my security team does not have to go to multiple dashboards or multiple consoles to review or investigate incidents. The alerting capabilities are very strong, and we are very happy with the solution.

Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is very effective in detecting and preventing data loss based on the policies, the privacy controls, and its unified console, which makes it very easy for my team. From a user perspective, they get notifications if certain actions happen in their email.

We have used the automatic classifiers, and it has worked very well in classifying personally identifiable data, as well as credit card information, SIN numbers, certain data tags, and other sensitive information.

Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is very important to our organization in maintaining our security posture as well as managing insider user risk. Over the past few years, we have continuously worked on improving our security posture to the current level, and Proofpoint Enterprise DLP has helped us significantly in achieving our goals. Enterprise DLP has contributed significantly to our success.

What needs improvement?

Proofpoint Enterprise DLP could be improved by also providing DLP solutions at the endpoint level where they can monitor sensitive data on the endpoints and its flow across the endpoint, email, as well as the internet.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Proofpoint Enterprise DLP for five years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is a very stable product. The support has been very good if we ever ran into any issues. Given the single console for managing the entire Proofpoint portfolio solution, as well as managing policies and the privacy controls, it has been a very stable and productive tool.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is very scalable to any size organization, from small, medium to large. Given the cloud approach, the solution is very scalable.

How are customer service and support?

The customer support for the solution has been very good and positive. We have had good experiences dealing with the support.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Proofpoint was our first enterprise DLP solution.

How was the initial setup?

The setup cost was minimal. Proofpoint helped us in providing coaching and training in the initial setup, and then my team was able to define and set up policies and alerting based on that.

What about the implementation team?

It was a good experience working with our account executive in negotiating the pricing and licensing.

What was our ROI?

Our return on investment was primarily on time saved for my security team. This allowed us to coach and train our users in managing their risky behaviors, as well as the alerting capabilities, which were superior and helped free up my team's time to focus on other important tasks.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The setup cost was minimal.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We did not evaluate other options as we were starting to use Proofpoint for email security, and when they talked to us about Proofpoint Enterprise DLP features, it was something we looked into and were very happy with the solution and the POC, and then we proceeded to purchase it.

What other advice do I have?

Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is an advanced modern DLP solution compared to traditional DLP tools, given the fact that it can analyze user risk in emails, as well as from an endpoint perspective. I would highly recommend Proofpoint Enterprise DLP.

I am very happy with the solution that Proofpoint is offering to us. It has been a successful solution in achieving our cybersecurity goals. I give this solution a rating of 10.

  • February 25, 2026
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

My main use case for Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is monitoring and protecting my company's data, including preventing accidental leaks and monitoring insider threats.

Currently, when making a policy with Proofpoint Enterprise DLP, I create different policies. Recently, there was a leakage incident where an insider threat tried to send confidential data to someone who does not belong to the company, and we caught it. We received an alert in the system, and we apprehended the individual.

I believe every service that Proofpoint Enterprise DLP provides is useful for my company. Policy creation is the particular feature I rely on the most with Proofpoint Enterprise DLP.

What is most valuable?

The unified platform aspect of Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is really important for our company because it protects confidential data. Adaptive information protection with Proofpoint Enterprise DLP has changed how we handle sensitive data and respond to threats, allowing us to block sensitive data if it is being shared with external persons.

As an analyst, using Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is very easy. Any beginner can learn the features because the user interface is very easy to understand and work with. I really love Proofpoint Enterprise DLP.

The dashboard of Proofpoint Enterprise DLP is great, and I really love it.

Email defenses have blocked thousands of targeted threats and protect sensitive data daily

  • February 25, 2026
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

I have been using Proofpoint Enterprise DLP at my company for the last two or three years. When I joined, the organization was already using Proofpoint. I really appreciate it for the email security and their TRAP module and TAP dashboard, which provide pre-delivery or post-delivery protection. I value the post-delivery protection and all of the modules that Proofpoint provides.

Currently, I am using Proofpoint Enterprise DLP specifically for email security. I am planning to explore whether we can use it for data security, as I was not previously aware of that capability. In today's session, I learned about how we can use Proofpoint Enterprise DLP for data security, but currently, we are using it for email security only. We use it to find sensitive data in email and to restrict that sensitive data from being forwarded to external email accounts, thus providing email security.

Basically, I am using Proofpoint Enterprise DLP from the email security perspective. I use it to find sensitive data to ensure that no SIN numbers, credit card information, or other sensitive information is shared with external parties or unauthorized users. We have created rules in our email system so that users cannot forward company email to personal email accounts. This type of security has been implemented in Proofpoint.

I recommend using Proofpoint Enterprise DLP for email security because we have already successfully used it for that purpose. I would also want to use it for data security to have a better experience. My experience with email security has been really good, as it blocks thousands of emails, whether they are Business Email Compromise, confidential credential compromise threats, telephone-oriented attack delivery, or ransomware attacks. It protects us from thousands of attacks, and I really recommend this tool to others.

What is most valuable?

First, I really appreciate the dashboard. Proofpoint Enterprise DLP dashboard clearly provides me with a proper explanation of whether a user clicked a malicious link or not and how many emails we have received. If we see one alert that a user clicked on a malicious link and the malicious email was delivered to the user's inbox, we can check in the dashboard how many total malicious emails have been delivered in our environment. Another feature I appreciate is that if a malicious email is delivered to the user's inbox, Proofpoint Enterprise DLP TRAP dashboard, if in the sandbox environment the email is later considered as malicious, Proofpoint Enterprise DLP TRAP pulls that email from the user's inbox if the user has not opened that email and deletes that email from the user's inbox. I really value that quality. Additionally, we can use Proofpoint Enterprise DLP TRAP dashboard to quarantine the email from the user's inbox if the user reports an email. Another feature I appreciate is that sometimes if a user clicks a malicious link, we have the option in Proofpoint Enterprise DLP to automatically disable that user's account. We do not need to worry if a user clicked a malicious link at night, as Proofpoint Enterprise DLP automatically disables that account.

I have already explained the Proofpoint Enterprise DLP Protection Server, Proofpoint Enterprise DLP TRAP module, and Proofpoint Enterprise DLP TAP dashboard, and how we can have a unified view if a user clicked any link and how many emails are currently delivered in our account if those emails are malicious, how we can pull that email from the user's inbox, and how we can automatically disable that account if the account gets compromised. I really value these features.

Personally, I believe that Proofpoint Enterprise DLP really adds value among all of the security tools we are currently using in our organization. This is my honest opinion because I really appreciate the support that Proofpoint Enterprise DLP provides and how many malicious emails are blocked by Proofpoint Enterprise DLP, such as Business Email Compromise attack, telephone-oriented attack delivery, and other ransomware attacks. Proofpoint Enterprise DLP categorizes these emails and blocks them automatically in the sandbox environment. I really find it valuable and I believe that during the day, we block thousands of emails, which keeps our organization secure.

Frankly speaking, I currently do not remember the specific metrics, but I know that when I provide a report to my senior management from the last thirty days or a quarterly report, I categorize how many Business Email Compromise attacks, how many telephone-oriented attacks, and how many ransomware attacks have occurred. From the data from the last ninety days, there are approximately three thousand five hundred to three thousand seven hundred emails blocked that are Business Email Compromise attacks that are automatically blocked by Proofpoint Enterprise DLP.

I have not worked directly with a Proofpoint Enterprise DLP support engineer account manager. My manager has worked with that. Proofpoint Enterprise DLP definitely has a higher cost compared to other email security tools, but some good solutions come at a cost. The cost value corresponds with their functionality, but the cost is definitely more compared to other tools.

What needs improvement?

I would now like to use Proofpoint Enterprise DLP for data security. Since we are currently using it for email security only, I would like to expand to data security. In today's session, I learned that Proofpoint Enterprise DLP can be used for data security and for human-centric AI. I would like to use that module in our organization if possible.

The user interface is quite good and the dashboard is really good. Regarding the support that Proofpoint Enterprise DLP provides, that is already good. I would want to know if we can use it for data security and for Active Directory accounts. For example, if someone tries to log in suspiciously, that account should be automatically disabled. Additionally, if we can use Proofpoint Enterprise DLP data security on the file server, and if users try to encrypt the files, it will detect that and generate an alert, that would be helpful.

I have already explained that I have had a very good experience with Proofpoint Enterprise DLP. I am satisfied with the customer support and with the email security. I am also satisfied with the dashboard.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working at the Town of Milton since last year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Regarding the effectiveness of Proofpoint Enterprise DLP, it is really good in cases of email security and analyzing user behavior. If an email is delivered to the user's inbox, I can check whether the user clicked a link or not. I can check in Proofpoint Enterprise DLP TAP dashboard whether the user clicked a malicious link or not and whether there is an effect on the user system by clicking the malicious link. It also automatically blocks that sender if the sender is malicious. I really value that feature.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Proofpoint Enterprise DLP's scalability is good and we do not have any issues with that.

How are customer service and support?

The unified platform is really important to find the root cause of the issue, such as how the problem arises, when the user clicked a link, how many users received the malicious email, and what the impact is. To find the root cause and to analyze the attack pattern on how it is entering our environment is really helpful with a unified view.

I am not aware of the Autolearn classifier because perhaps my other team members are working on that. They are the ones configuring Proofpoint Enterprise DLP servers. I do not have any information about this. I am basically checking the alerts and how the email is delivered to the user's inbox.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I do not have any information about previous solutions because I have been working in the organization for the last year, and when I joined, the organization was already using Proofpoint Enterprise DLP.

How was the initial setup?

Previously Proofpoint Enterprise DLP was on-premises. Now we have migrated it to the cloud. Currently, we are in the process of migration and we have almost completed the migration to the cloud. Only the outgoing bound emails are still on-premises, and we will shortly move those into the cloud.

What about the implementation team?

The team evaluated other options as well before starting to use Proofpoint Enterprise DLP, but when they started using it, I was not yet in the organization. So I do not know which tools they evaluated, but they definitely evaluated other tools as well.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I do not have any information about the investment because I am working on the security alerts and security metrics.

What other advice do I have?

I have provided my feedback on Proofpoint Enterprise DLP and I give this product a rating of ten out of ten.
