Dangerous times

Knock on wood, in the years we have been running ProofPoint, no serious threats have made it though.

What do you like best about the product?
When it was time to think about email security concern, we had to look for a suitable solution, which would suit our needs in terms of security and effectiveness.
We tested different software editors and our choice has leaded us to choose Proofpoint.
Why Proofpoint ?
PPS is in the magic quadrant of leaders in this domain.
The security options match almost every kind of need. It is quite complex but very efficient !
I like the control it gives about all the email security topics (rules, SFP, DKIM, DMARC).
It is possible to edit all kind of reports too.
All these reasons justify our decision to go on with this solution.

What do you dislike about the product?
Despite the real efficiency of this product, some things may be improved.
The web interface could be better, especially when displaying the quarantine messages. They don't always show entireley. I have to do a search 'all' often. 'Auto' by default is not a good option.
The ergonomy could be improved too, to match nowadays standards. The present interface loooks like 2K years and seems a bit outdated.

What do you dislike about the product?
The reactivity of support in some cases and some lack of communication when something goes wrong with the global environment.
The email security gateway is sometimes responsible of issue with the connected email environment and in this case, it is difficult to bring vendors together to show something is wrong, and often both rejects the issues on the other. Some issues were detected due to TLS encryption and it was not easy to solve...
And finally the TAP environment to give you some global view is not enough efficient to give a good view. You need to implement other tools to have good reports, and good comprimsing view. Of course the solution is not complete if you don't buy the full suite, it is a pity.

We have a excellent blocking ration which leads to less phishing or all malware attacks.
The benefits are important based on user feedback.
One big improvement was the digest that is sent regularly to end users with blocked emails.
Globally we reduced the number of tickets at helpdesk.
Based on Proopofpoint we were able to also implement DKIM and DMARC to ensure a better level of security.
