"The most valuable features of Proofpoint Email Protection are ease of use, data loss prevention, antivirus, and spam protection."
"I like all the features with Proofpoint, such as how it filters the spam and marketing mail, lost reality mail, blocks phishing attacks, blocks malicious attachments, and stops phishing links. Also it can defend against the business email compromise impersonation technique. It is a complete solution for all email attacks. It filters for the bad, malicious attachments. If there is any executable file, it can be deleted. It is a good, complete solution."
"The initial implementation is pretty easy to handle."
"Proofpoint Email Protection is the best solution from the perspective of email security."
"The spam filter for email is good."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"The solution scales quite well."
"They do a better job of determining what's real and what's not than most of the other solutions we have tried, and it's been very painless to use."

"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."
"Proofpoint Email Protection has a new approach to email security with its API feature. Currently, it only works with Office 365. In the future, it would be beneficial if it also works with Gmail, as Check Point is currently the only brand that has API email security for Gmail. It would be beneficial if Proofpoint Email Protection could add this integration, they would be more competitive with other vendors."
"It's scalable, but the devil's in the details — you have to know your email volumes."
"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 solution could be improved with the addition of PLP and email encryption features."
"Integration and filtering out who you want and don't want to have integrated ID could be improved."
"We find the cost to be prohibitive."
"Sometimes it detects false positives."
"They have some areas that could be improved. For example, we also use this solution for email encryption, which was clunky and could be improved, but the email security itself has been excellent."
