Proofpoint Protection - a critical component in our security stack
What do you like best about the product?
Proofpoint Email security and protection helps reduce the risk involving the most significant attack vector in today's threat landscape by sandboxing attachments and removing malicious payloads before they ever hit the user's inbox.
What do you dislike about the product?
A downside to all the tools and functions that Proofpoint provides is the lack of seamless integration from one tool to the next.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One problem being solved is having a view of how threats are evolving as it relates to malicious attachments, typosquating / malicious domains, and other abuse methods used by threat actors. With Proofpoints tools we are able to adjust to the evolving threat landscape.
Excellent product and customer service
What do you like best about the product?
The product offers a lot of insight and control on spam filtering to help minimize the number of malicious messages. Overnight our phishing emails dropped 90% with the intial config. The onboarding services helped us tighten the filters even more.
What do you dislike about the product?
The panel has a lot of information and is a little overwhelming at first, but once you develop your workflow you will know where to look.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has helped us completely turn our email security around.
How You Can Improve Security At Your Business On Every Level
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoyed the presentations a lot. The opening presentation was very enjoyable, and the other presentations were filled with great information for any business owner. I will enjoy going forward to learning more on cyber security.
What do you dislike about the product?
There was nothing that I disliked about the entire event.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have realized the impact that not increasing your email security could cost your company, and it is better to prepare and protect myself, before you get hit with fraud or phishing attacks through your email.
Proofpoint provides great products
What do you like best about the product?
They have good visibility into email and many settings that can be configured. Using Smart Search, Proofpoint Archives, and TAP together allows for a full visibility of emails sent throughout the org. There is also regulatory and compliance rules in place in the configuration page. Most of these policies are out of the box, meaning that we can use what Proofpoint has already created to be in compliance with regulatory bodies. We can also create more policies as needed. When it comes to DLP, these rules are great. We can apply these rules and policies, or restrict them, based on certain Policy Routes. These Policy routes are easy to create and configure and apply to various rules. This can help us prevent our users from emailing out SSNs, credit card numbers, and things of that nature.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are several different URLs that are necessary to visit to access all of the features of Proofpoint. Having a single pane of glass to see everything would be nice. Some websites are more advanced and modern looking that others. Some look old. But functionality is there. Having a more modern look and responsive feel would help with overall enjoyment of using the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Finding malicious URLs and attachments in email through TAP. We also see other ways that threat actors pose threats. Proofpoint is very accurate when detecting BEC with TAP also.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Buy this is you want to be able to review email that your users are sending.
Great customer service and excellent industry knowledge
What do you like best about the product?
Proofpoint has excellent events that provide excellent insights into more than just their line of products. They demonstrate that they care about the safety of their customers and provide education on current issues and events in cybersecurity.
What do you dislike about the product?
No complaints at this time! We have been a customer for several years and have not had any issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Proofpoint fulfills and exceeds our email filtering requirements for our company. We're excited to be able to implement more features from ProofPoint's tools shortly.
Proofpoint is a Leader in this industry and would not trust anyone else
What do you like best about the product?
Proofpoint analyzes and captures threats before they get to your users. This allows you to protect users from most attacks as well as report any security threats that they may see.
What do you dislike about the product?
I like the product; however, I do wish that there was a single pane of glass for all portals. Each portal has their own portal rather than a central location that can break off to other areas.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been able to prevent a lot of spam, malware, and security attacks from the end users. We have also been able to setup SPF, DKIM, and DMarc to protect our domain name as well.
Expensive solution, but well worth the cost
What do you like best about the product?
Since migrating through two other solutions since the demise of Postini many years ago, we finally settled on Proofpoint and we are glad we did. The product is far better at identifying malicious messages than our previous solutions and has a great system in place to address any false negatives that do get through. Additionally, the solution provides a great way for end-users to manage their quarantines and sender lists. The TRAP auto-pull functionality is great for messages that may get through but are later condemned.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only two real negatives that we see are the cost and the fact that there are multiple management portals that you have to log into to manage the product. It would be nice if there was a single place to login and manage the entire suite.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We opened up our vendor selection due to several clearly malicious messages with html based attachments were getting past our previous solution. Since moving to Proofpoint all of these types of messages have been caught and the number of true malicious messages that have gotten through is almost zero.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Proofpoint is awesome
What do you like best about the product?
The feeling of confidence I get with proofpoint actually gives me a bullet proof feeling. My users particularly like the digest feature. That way if we get things tunes a bit too tightly they are still empowered to retrieve those that get caught. My company interacts with students which makes things a bit challenging, but proofpoint finds a good balance with very few false positives.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface is not the most intuitive sometimes. I do a smart search, which works awesome, but if I need to retrieve from a folder, I need to go someplace else. Not sure if that is a user training thing or something, but probably the thing I stumble on the most.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Dramatically reduces spam and give really granular ability to build whitelist/blacklist for special circumstances. Compared to other email security systems we have used in the past, we spend much less time dealing with spam and the associated user issues.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I have used quite a few other email security platforms over the last 20+ years and this the first I have been happy with. I implemented it a number of years ago and when renewal came up our information security group moved us to something else. They went to a different solution and came back to Proofpoint in less than a year due to the dramatic difference in performance. Proofpoint has continued to earn my loyalty ever since. New products and capabilities keep them relevant and successful at meeting my needs and my companies needs in a very threatening landscape.
