"The anti-spam features are excellent on the email firewalls."

There is a sandbox environment where you can open malicious or suspicious emails to make sure that they're not malicious, instead of taking the risk of having your employees do it. This is definitely something that everybody needs nowadays, especially with the rise in cyber attacks."
"The setup was easy."

"I want Security Awareness Training in there as a package deal. A lot of companies are starting to value email security a little bit more and take it a little bit more seriously, and the great product that we link together with a lot of these sales is a training product called Security Awareness Training. It is an upsell that we do with Proofpoint, and it is definitely something that I recommend everybody with email security to look into. It would be great if Security Awareness Training is included with the email security."
"It has too many screens. It is kind of a conglomeration of products. In other words, they built product A, product B, and product C, and they are yet to integrate them into a single administrative console. I would certainly like to see a more seamless administrative interface. I would also like to see them include more bang for the buck, by including features like email fraud protection, rather than making their product so piecemeal, where you are buying little pieces. I agree with the idea of having multiple tiers or layers, but maybe as small, medium, and large, as opposed to an a la carte menu."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The solution could be improved with the addition of PLP and email encryption features."
"Sometimes it detects false positives."
"The incident reporting on offer needs to be improved. It's lacking right now. It should be on the platform somewhere."
"I would want better spear phishing protection in the essentials package."
"The Secure Mail aspect should have an Outlook add-in, instead of an external dashboard that outside users have to access."
"We would like to create reports for local IT leaders in a different way, more suitable for upper management."
