What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use. Proofpoint does a good job running on its own. You do not have to do to much maintenance to it. Set it and forget it, at least for the configuration.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a bit of a learning curve with managing users, aliases, and best practices.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Primarily filters email in the cloud before it reaches our Exchange server. Proofpoint gets rid of the majority of our junk email and viruses. Secondly, it has filter policies that can be configured to block or allow specific attachment file types. We also enabled the setting to turn on email tagging to mark all emails from outside our organization with an "External" tag. And lastly, it has a URL Defense that will re-write links in emails to push them through their filter to further protect users against malicious sites.

What do you like best about the product?
I love the visibility provided on what users are assigned, what risk, and what they are being targeted by.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have any dislikes; after all these years, it's nothing but fantastic.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The service eliminated manual review and human error, enhanced user reporting, and gave us analytics and threat intelligence on what is reported.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get a demo; there is so much to see that can't fit into a brochure. The sales team is very genuine and relaxed when meeting with, a much better experience than you're used to, where it feels like a high-pressure sales pitch.

Additional Layer of email protection

  • June 09, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

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.
