Proofpoint Email Protection Reviews

I am using Proofpoint Email Protection for blocking out spam and malware from the emails. Proofpoint Email Protection is linked to our Microsoft Office365

Proofpoint Email Protection has improved the way our organization functions by blocking threats.

The most valuable feature of Proofpoint Email Protection is the blocking capabilities, it blocks a lot of potential threats.

Proofpoint Email Protection could improve on the training. Every organization is different and to fine-tune it to block everything properly there needs to be better training. Sometimes it can block some of the information it shouldn't.

In a feature release, phishing blocking could improve.

I have been using Proofpoint Email Protection for approximately one year.

Proofpoint Email Protection is a stable solution.

The scalability of Proofpoint Email Protection is good.

We have between 50 to 100 people using this solution in my organization.

I have not used the technical support from Proofpoint Email Protection.

I have previously used SolarWinds Mail Assure prior to Proofpoint Email Protection. The main reason we switched was that the price was better for Proofpoint Email Protection.

The initial setup of Proofpoint Email Protection is very easy. The full process took approximately 15 minutes.

We did the implementation of Proofpoint Email Protection in-house. It did not require a lot of maintenance. We only have to watch out for the quarantine list that gets emailed to us.

We have received a return on investment. Less spam is coming in through email. 

I rate the ROI of Proofpoint Email Protection a four out of five.

I rate the price of Proofpoint Email Protection a four out of five.

We evaluated other options before choosing Proofpoint Email Protection.

My advice to others is the solution seems to be good and stable with a very easy-to-use user interface.

I rate Proofpoint Email Protection a nine out of ten.

It serves as an added layer above your email gateway.

Its main defense is to stop malicious emails from coming through. 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.

It can be improved pricing-wise. One downfall of the product from the SMB side is the pricing. Currently, everybody can't afford it. Everybody wants a Mercedes, but not everyone has the budget for it.

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.

Its stability is great. There are no outages.

Its scalability is very good. It is a SaaS solution. So, it is very adaptable. Out of my about 50 clients, more than half are using it. It is always going to be used well by customers, but we need to emphasize a little bit more on email security.

They are good. I would rate them a 10 out of 10. They are responsive and very intuitive.

Positive

Most customers switched from Microsoft. The reason why they switched over was the results. There were more and more people who were coming to them asking why something or a breach happened. We actually caught a live breach during a PoC, and it was getting through their Microsoft, but Proofpoint was picking it up.

It is pretty straightforward. Its deployment is done by Proofpoint. It takes less than a day.

Its implementation is done through Proofpoint.

Our clients have definitely seen an ROI. Their level of breach and reporting of malicious emails from their user base actually went down by over 50% by using this product. That's over a two-year span for emails.

It is on a yearly basis. Their floor for SMB doesn't matter. The user count is 100 users and below at $2,500 a year.

Its cost is higher than other solutions. It is probably about 20% to 30% higher than what you would get with Microsoft. There are no additional costs. All costs are factored in.

It can be improved pricing-wise so that it is affordable for the SMB market.

They didn't evaluate any other solution.

We get no complaints, and that's why we sell it. It has been very good. I would recommend this product to everybody. It doesn't matter whether you are a large business or a small business. You need it no matter what. Going forward, it is going to be the norm to have something more than just your basic email protection because the SEC is actually catching onto a lot of these bad actors. As per the survey, the number one risk for companies was their own employees clicking something. It is a good story I tell my customers, and just like that, they're purchasing from us. It is an easier sell. It isn't hard to sell. Your average sales cycle, from PoC to close, on this one is most likely going to be within the 90-day period.

It is overall good. I would rate it an 8 out of 10.

It does have some issues, but it's very good.

We use the solution to filter out spam from our end users, block malicious attacks, and add banners to the emails if they're from suspicious senders. 

If there's a suspicious link, we'll have a URL to open it in a browser.

The solution has lowered the amount of spam to our end users. There is a quarantine inbox. Users can go into their quarantine inbox and release emails for them if they are legitimate, but they get blocked. It reduces false positives too.

The solution blocks malicious emails containing viruses and malware and reduces them out of spam.

The email DLP portion could be a bit easier.

We used our built-in Microsoft Gateway since we used Microsoft Outlook for email. We switched to Proofpoint because more spam emails were getting than we wanted. We're trying to find a better way to stop spam, and Microsoft wasn't getting it done how we wanted it.

The initial setup is straightforward. We had a Proofpoint support guy who did it for us. It would have been really difficult if I tried to do it on my own. Since they did every step with us, it was much easier.

The solution is worth the price. We have noticed that fewer spam emails are getting into our users' inboxes. We have seen a reduction in spam emails.

We were evaluating Mimecast before.

Proofpoint is a solid product.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

We use Proofpoint Email Protection mostly for email filtering, spam, and phishing.

URL scanning and online relay service are the most valuable features of Proofpoint Email Protection.

Integration and filtering out who you want and don't want to have integrated ID could be improved. Sometimes it takes longer for an email sent through Proofpoint Email Protection to reach the client.

I have been using Proofpoint Email Protection for five years.

Proofpoint Email Protection has no stability issues.

Proofpoint Email Protection is easy to scale. Around 50 users are using the solution in our organization.

The solution’s initial setup is pretty straightforward.

Proofpoint Email Protection has comparable pricing. The solution has a monthly license. Suppose Proofpoint Email Protection can have 50 users, but you have only 30 current employees; then you only pay for those that are active.

We are using the latest version of Proofpoint Email Protection. Depending on the number of users, one or two people are required for the maintenance of Proofpoint Email Protection.

I would recommend others to compare Proofpoint Email Protection with other tools before choosing it.

Overall, I rate Proofpoint Email Protection an eight out of ten.

Proofpoint Email Protection is used as an email security platform to detect all kinds of malware, viruses, and unethical acts being done through email solicitations.

We've been dealing with Proofpoint Email Protection for at least three years. We've been providing the support for it and deploying it across different countries within the group.

Proofpoint Email Protection is stable enough, and it has a good image within the group. It's doing its job.

The initial setup for Proofpoint Email Protection is not too complicated. I won't classify it as complicated or complex, though it does require a certain level of technical skills to manage and run the platform, which is also required on similar platforms.

My clients pay for an annual subscription of Proofpoint Email Protection. Every client always finds it expensive, but I don't know how much they're paying for it. The price for the license could still be cheaper, in general.

I provide products to clients. I have clients who use a product for email protection that I provided: Proofpoint Email Protection. They use it in their corporate offices.

At this point in time, there's nothing that needs to be changed or improved in the tool. We have regular updates for Proofpoint Email Protection, so there's no specific need to change anything.

I have two to three clients using the tool, but globally, within our group, I don't have information on the total number of clients using Proofpoint Email Protection.

My company provides L3 support, and we reach out to Proofpoint for typical, vendor-type support, L4 support via a ticketing system.

I'm rating Proofpoint Email Protection eight out of ten.

We use it for our email flow. We use it for our daily operations. For example, it helps in dropping spam and phishing emails.

There is room for improvement. One aspect that could be enhanced is finding a better way to follow outgoing mail. This would be particularly useful in situations where customers or suppliers claim they did not receive our messages.

We have been using this solution for seven years. We are also using a Proofpoint protection server and Proofpoint Threat Response.
