Email Security at its finest!

  • May 18, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Proofpoint does a fantastic job filtering out spam and malicious emails and then storing them in quarantine. With so many cyberattacks beginning as a phishing message, the quarantine report sent to users forces them to reconsider a potentially malicious email before interacting with it.
What do you dislike about the product?
The reporting features are greatly lacking. Competing products seem to have put more time and effort into developing reports that are useful for administrators, but unfortunately, the reporting features appear to be an after-thought for Proofpoint.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are trying to protect our users and clients from falling victim to cyberattacks that start with phishing emails. It's easy for users to move quickly through their inbox and click on messages without considering if it's legitimate. Proofpoint does a great job filtering the messages into quarantine, which forces the users to think before they click.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Always start with the trial and reference the extensive knowledge base articles.

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.

No complaints at this time! We have been a customer for several years and have not had any issues.

Proofpoint is a Leader in this industry and would not trust anyone else

  • May 18, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

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

  • May 18, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

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.

Proofpoint Email Fraud Defence (EFD) Platform Helpful for Online Security & Brand Protection

  • May 18, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the support that we receive from Proofpoint. We are using the EFD Platform as part of ongoing projects to monitor our domains and track ongoing efforts to protect our brand. Their ongoing support has been greatly appreciated.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can be a bit tricky to find things within the menus at times, I have had to ask how to locate information about subdomains, what menu to find it under, etc. as may not always be clear.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solving: Online Reputation and Security Monitoring
Very helpful to see visual feedback of threats blocked, samples of messages blocked, seeing trends of passes and failures in SPF, DKIM, DMARC, etc. Brand defence in EFD is great for finding spoofed/lookalike domains, etc.

I think it does great at getting ahead of the game.

  • May 17, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the URL rewritting, it has definetly helped keep my users safe. I also like that if there is a malicious like or a community threat proofpoint is alwars head of the game and quaranites and discards the messages sometimes before they even read it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it is difficult to see what is going on or why a user might have flagged an email if there arent any URLs or trying to view HTML information but it does not appear in a user friendly way and can be dangerous!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Some issues are with a large number of issues and lots of noise when it comes to URLs being whitelisted and blacklisted. We have it set up so many are blacklisted and other sites that need to be used that are blocked are then whitelisted.
