| Head Of Information Technology at IndoStar Capital Finance Ltd | 4.0 | I find Proofpoint Email DLP effective with strong AI/ML and threat intelligence, offering easy deployment and management. While it’s superior to my previous solution, I'm concerned about its high cost and limited local support. |
| Cosultant at Kadaster | 3.5 | I work with Proofpoint for email security and backup, noting its flexibility and strong European presence. However, it struggles with European compliance and there's uncertainty around future licensing costs. Barracuda's Active Directory feature remains a notable competitor. |

However, the tool is quite expensive, impacting its overall affordability. |

Proofpoint Email Data Loss Prevention (DLP) can be scaled up and scaled out however needed.
With Fortra, there was a lot of challenge related to the support we realized. No local support was available from India, or if it was available, it was not easily accessible.

Fortra was the previous solution used. Fortra was an on-premise solution where everything had to be managed by us. Proofpoint Email Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is a cloud solution that we are using as a SaaS setup.

I know the portfolio of Proofpoint. I work with email backup and email security. Most of the time, I consult for various organizations about email and email security.
Proofpoint offers flexibility in licensing, accommodating various levels from small businesses to governments. The setup is straightforward, requiring just a few days. Proofpoint is effective for email communication needs and has a strong presence in the Dutch and European markets.
However, there are uncertainties about future licensing and pricing changes, especially given the differing market focuses.
It is difficult to meet the European security compliancy regulations using Proofpoint since it is very focused on the American market, differing significantly from European policies.
Additionally, there is uncertainty about the future level of license pricing because American organizations sometimes change their product offerings. Barracuda's Active Directory checking feature is one area where Proofpoint could improve.
In today's context, using a backup solution is necessary because Microsoft 365 does not come with standard backup and recovery anymore. Therefore, I have been working with Proofpoint's solution.
I have direct contact with some colleagues working at Proofpoint, which helps in getting in touch with their support. They are also building a European organization now, making direct contact easier.
Neutral

The licenses for Proofpoint are effective, however, there is uncertainty about future pricing as American organizations might change their product, thereby altering the license. Microsoft has been known to do this.
The Barracuda solution is strong competition, particularly due to its Active Directory checking feature.
For the overall solution, I would rate Proofpoint a seven out of ten.
It is a data loss prevention solution.
We have too many features included in the solution. These include third-party malware detection as a primary feature and a secondary feature focused on dealing with various security threats. Numerous other features are available within the solution that enhance security awareness. Additionally, a dedicated, integrated module is specifically designed for security awareness.
The tool is expensive.

Positive
Deployment depends on the size of the customer and their existing solution. Different customers utilize different exchanges and machinery. Therefore, deployment must align with the customer's environment, and we need to tailor our distribution accordingly. They offer both on-premises and cloud-based solutions, ensuring we meet customer requirements.
The initial implementation takes two to three days to configure. Other than that, tuning may take ten to fifteen days.
The product pricing is very high.
I rate the product’s pricing a twenty out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive.
They have a complete solution for DLP and a module dedicated to email DLP that detects prevention.
It's a very efficient solution for the customer. However, the main issue is that some customers do not have a sufficient budget for this solution, so they opt for another option based solely on pricing. While they feel confident in our solution, they encounter some problems.
Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.
