What do you like best about the product?
Template creation for multiple tenant onboarding. It makes it easier if you ahve one template to copy off. Specifically if you have multiple tenants using your services.
Safelisting and blacklisting emails is no brainer
User digest option to give user the flexibility to release or block emails
Ability to trak daily, monthly, yearly metrics for presentation
Taps into multiple proofpoint database which automatically block links when it is marked as malicious, URL defense makes it easier to filter email links
You can refine safelist/block list in global, tenant, individual mode
What do you dislike about the product?
Navigating the dashboard was a challenge, some tabs have the same name as the other so it was confusing where I am at. It takes familiarity with the dashboard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It filtered almost all of the phisishing emails, specifivally those that pretend to be an employee.
Users are more aware of the links that they are clicking as URL defense obsures the actual email link, this gives email recipients to think twice before they click on links.
Becuase of the user digest, system admins does not have to constantly emails caught up as spam.

What do you like best about the product?
TRAPS auto delete feature, set and forget, saves time and $
What do you dislike about the product?
Multiple dashboards, it seems like each feature was bolted on not fully baked in
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Phishing protecting mostly, spam filter is nice too.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You need TRAPS at a minimum to really unlock the value of the product. The auto pull feature is VERY nice. Our analyst now only have to look at just a few emails per day manually. Also the Phishing button with TRAPS allows auto-response to user requests with no human input, that's great for our already stretched SOC team

What do you like best about the product?
For us, this software has been innovative since it has allowed us to improve our email inbox, freeing up the space in the inbox of each email with the function of eliminating junk emails (SPAM) and only leaving our most important information I am happy because the service has allowed us to navigate in its interface without any inconvenience and to configure the filters or tools that they offer us are very specific, managing to maintain security and stability avoiding loss of information.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not have any inconvenience regarding the functionality of the service since it has allowed us to navigate our emails safely and with information that is really important avoiding spam is for this reason that I like the system and we do not have any problem with However, the function that future filters offers us can be configured differently to permanently delete spam emails.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For us, it helped us to improve our search for important emails, usually we received a lot of junk emails and those that have important information at certain points are lost or it is very difficult to find it is for this reason that this system with different filters allows us to protect the email to avoid junk emails and in this way find the emails we need in a more efficient way, as well as the system we can configure to our liking to avoid or block some particular emails, avoiding very complete access to the protection system.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
In my opinion the system works correctly and providing solutions that allow us to improve our emails allowing us to navigate quickly and without any inconvenience, the filters are very simple and the tools are very practical to use, I recommend them.
