Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Support is very responsive.""The best part of Proofpoint Threat Response is the Auto-Pull feature. Being able to pull an email back from a user's mailbox is very useful, yet I have noticed that not a lot of organizations use this kind of feature.""It has reduced our manual efforts to remove emails from each user's inbox, and in this case we do not have to ask our IT department or users to do so."

"My favorite feature is the application vulnerability scanner.""ServiceNow Security Operations also takes care of GRC, governance, risk and compliance, enabling it to provide risk assessment.""The most valuable aspect of working with ServiceNow is its meaningful and feature-rich product.""The "follow" feature is really good. If the user is not responding, there's an option to "follow". Just click on the button, and it will automatically trigger an email to the end user.""Reduces time to closure and closure metrics for vulnerabilities.""The solution is available over the cloud and is easy to manage.""We refer to the setup and installation guide provided by ServiceNow. They have good documentation, which makes it easier to handle the process.""It gives you the ability to bring data into the system. The workflows are out of the box, and it gives you the ability to auto-assign the incidents based on criteria and vulnerabilities."

Cons
"The interface within Threat Response could be made simpler.""If the reporting gets improved then it would be better, but the product is running amazing as it is.""Has some quirks."

More Proofpoint Threat Response Cons →

"It is challenging for the customers to understand the processes for SecOps. It needs to be simplified.""It's very slow. When you click a button or update a field, it takes forever to actually react.""The threat intelligence module needs a better dashboard.""An area for improvement I observed in ServiceNow Security Operations is the need to maintain correct CMDB data because if you're unable to do this, you can't perfectly maintain the vulnerability data. CMDB data in ServiceNow Security Operations needs to be accurate. As I've been working on ServiceNow Security Operations for only seven months, I still need more time to try all its modules before I can give recommendations regarding additional features I'd like to see in the solution.""​Process framework and best practices for ease of integration between IT and security teams via incident, problem, and change.​""There is room for improvement in terms of developer support and documentation.""It doesn't interact with things very well.""The initial setup is difficult."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It's quite affordable to have it with this much functionality and ease to administrate."
  • "The way most big companies work with Proofpoint is that they try to tie everything into an enterprise license. I can't comment on the actual costs, however I do know that alternative solutions such as Abnormal Security can be much more expensive than Proofpoint Threat Response."
  • More Proofpoint Threat Response Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "This product is a good value for the money."
  • "If you're going to implement it on your own, there would be internal costs. If you're going to implement it through a contractor or consultant, you have to pay for that."
  • "The solution is more expensive than BMC Remedy, the other ITSM tool available in the market."
