"Their technical support responds quickly and are knowledgable."
"The most valuable feature is the security that it provides."
"I can have enterprise security, email security, next generation firewall security log, HIDS and NIDS logs, etc. all on the same dashboard. It makes it easy to pinpoint or correlate our server to this. I can find out if there is lateral movement. This is the biggest advantage of this solution."
"The most valuable feature is the hunting ability to work in a CERT."
"Alerting Module: It provides real-time event processing language on all the logs/packets stream for advanced alerting, i.e., using SQL LIKE statements."
"It gives the capability for the incident response team to correlate logs to identify any kind of problem like malware and incidents in a general sense, both for logs and packets."
"The product has a user-friendly interface and a valuable feature for threat intelligence integration."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to remove bad messages that were delivered, prior to being classified as unwanted."
"The solution's technical support is good. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"The solution scales quite well."
"The most valuable feature of Proofpoint Email Protection is the TAP Dashboard. It provides more detailed information that can be used for forensic analysis. This is an advantage that other email security providers, such as Cisco, IronPort, or Microsoft do not offer in their dashboards."
"The stability is very good."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"Its anti-phishing functionality is the most valuable. Certainly, the biggest problem I have is phishing."
"The initial setup is complex. There are other solutions that are easier to implement."
"Security needs improvement."
"It is not so easy to customize this product."
"They should implement algorithms to digest that data and produce additional, more advanced reporting, alerting and support of internal security teams."
"The implementation needs assistance."
"The log system is a bit complex and has room for improvement."
"The user interface is a little bit difficult for new users and it needs to be improved."
"There is no support for this product in this country, so problems have to be resolved through global technical teams."
"Proofpoint Email Protection could improve by reducing the price."
"Unfortunately, the whole product is going downhill right now, ever since they were sold to Thoma Bravo. We're constantly having problems with stability and the product in general."
"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."
"The largest complaint that we hear from our customers is that there is no local support."
"They do not have an on-demand scan for the internal viruses and internal users, and they don't have a scan for the exchange server against viruses and spam as Symantec does."
"The price could be improved."
"It's scalable, but the devil's in the details — you have to know your email volumes."
"Pricing for the platform could still be cheaper."
