Proofpoint is the answer to email security
What do you like best about the product?
The system is very efficient at handling spam and blocking emails containing viral signatures.
What do you dislike about the product?
The GUI can be very slow at times depending on the amount of traffic going through your system. Gui requests are given a low priority in comparison to email scanning and routing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Proofpoint blocks are large amount of spam from our organization. You would be surprised about the amount that would flow through with out it. Not having end users have to deal with that is huge. Also protecting them from fishing emails and other scams is needed very much in today's world.
really effective in protecting users from malicious emails.
What do you like best about the product?
the simplicity of use and the implementation of the rules very fast and simple.
What do you dislike about the product?
Interface a bit "old", the inability to use IOC or Yara rule.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before the introduction of Proofpont, end users received a lot of malicious mail (phishing, malware mail), with the introduction we cancelled most malicious mail.
In addition, we can create precise rules on specific targets and have more control over security.

Excellent tool for Adapting Email Security to your Environment
What do you like best about the product?
Proofpoint is constantly on the forefront of email security technologies, always debuting new technologies that we are able to use to improve the security and efficiency of our environment. Email Fraud Defense, URL Rewrite, TAP sandboxing, etc. were all things they implemented when those things were on the cutting edge.
Our organization utilizes URL rewrite, a variety of firewall rules, DKIM and SPF processing, as well as Email tagging. We have seen a dramatic change in our user compromises with the use of email tagging and

What do you dislike about the product?
Not fully cloud infrastructure yet because of their TRAP infrastructure, I understand it will be available near end of year. The old smart search is very outdated, can't search on header information. This has been corrected with their Beta Smart Search.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cleaning up Spam, separating regulation of Spam mail and Junk/bulk mail. Routing our different partners in unique ways depending on their requirements. Preventing malware delivery, spoofing, phishing, etc. Applying email tags visible to customers based upon different information within the mail packet
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Limit your spam exceptions, use exceptions for junk and bulk rather than for spam. 99% of user complaints will come from junk and bulk rather than spam.
Utilize email tags for your end users whether in the subject line or with an html banner, it gives users a sense of normalcy to be able to see colored banners or specific words identifying emails they may be more able to trust vs. those that they should be wary of.

Best email filter on the planet.
What do you like best about the product?
I love the many options and features that come with the Enterprise client. It is like having a very granular firewall. Ease of use and customization. Firewalls and policies are easy to implement. Help is very awesome and very knowledgeable.
What do you dislike about the product?
The GUI is a bit dated. Quality over aesthetics. It is still very easy to browse and very easy to implement. Other than that no real issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Email spam, phishing, and other malware have been blocked. We have realized how much spam and phishing were going unreported. We are able to create reports and create rules that would prevent impersonations.
Proofpoint in my opinion is a next-gen-level email firewall system - very robust and efficient!
What do you like best about the product?
Super flexibility and adaptability of configuration
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't found anything I dislike about the product
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're experiencing a much more secure email environment with our Proofpoint service.
Quality of Life Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
The granularity in Proofpoint for blocking senders, from address, host name, IPs, and Domains is a godsend. It will allow us to properly allow legitimate mail through while blocking malicious ones and reduce the risk of false positives.
What do you dislike about the product?
The encryption limits of Proofpoint are 25mb (uncompressed). For some this works, but others like myself have larger requirements for encryption.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a higher level of control over the content of email allowing us to now properly block/allow senders. In addition, being able to reach out to Proofpoint for FP/FN emails to update the engine is a great feature.
Great tool to keep you away from spam and phishing
What do you like best about the product?
Proofpoint Email Security and Protection filters emails received by users, keeping them away from SPAM, Phishing and any malicious kinds of emails.
It also allows users to quarantine emails and send them for further analysis, or move them.
Another great thing about this software is that it constantly improves by learning at users use it, so it will be better and better as time goes by.
Lastly, allows users to move emails to a low priority inbox, so if they receive an email and it's not suspicious but the user don't want that in their mailbox, they can check on that later.

What do you dislike about the product?
Even though this is not a big of a deal, the implementation of Proofpoint Email Security and Protection was a bit confusing for our users. Problem solved with simple documentation.
Eventually everyone got used to that.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Proofpoint Email Security and Protection is being used by us as an email gateway kind of thing. It filters and gets rid of unwanted emails (SPAM, Phishing and other malicious emails) that users receive all the time.
It's a pretty good application that learns with time to improve even more the protection it provides users with, making the experience better as it goes.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Keep an eye on your digest (kind of quarantined emails report) to check your quarantined emails periodically.If something in there is actually not spam or phishing you can send it to your actual inbox with a couple clicks.
Also, as it learns with time, whenever you have the chance, mark emails as SPAM and do what you can to allow ProofPoint Email Security and Protection provide you with a continuously better experience.

Comprehensive Mail Protection Solution
What do you like best about the product?
Proofpoints product is extremely customizable, but all of the core functionality is constantly being updated without need for admin intervention.
What do you dislike about the product?
There can be too many things to configure, sometimes you need managed services/support to assist.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Spoofing and phishing are almost issues of the past for us. There is very little intervention on our side because the Proofpoint SoC does most the work for us.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is best in breed for a reason, it does everything and is easy to work with.
