Proofpoint Email Protection Reviews

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.

I have been using Proofpoint Email Protection for nine months.

The product is stable.

I rate the solution’s stability a nine out of ten.

There are no scalability issues.

I rate the solution’s scalability a ten out of ten.

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.

The solution is primarily used for email protection. However, it is not as good as EDR. It is good at handling privacy.

It's helped us when one of our senior managers got a fake email about getting a payment. The solution automatically flagged and notified us. 

It's great for email protection.

It's very good at identifying threats.

There is useful sandboxing available.

The pricing is very reasonable. This is an affordable product.

Technical support is very good. 

Sometimes it detects false positives. 

We'd like the sandbox to integrate with the on-prem device. 

It needs to identify the paths and signatures. We'd like advanced machine learning for detection. 

We'd like the have more lunch and learns to get more out of the solution. 

I've used the solution for around two years. 

I'd rate the stability five or six out of ten. It's okay. It's not perfect.

I'd rate the scalability around six or seven out of ten. It's decent. 

We have around 100 people using it. 

Technical support is quite good. We are happy with the level of support we receive. 

Positive

It was quite easy to set up. 

We have about four people able to deploy and maintain the product. 

I have witnessed an ROI after using it. 

The pricing is reasonable. I'd rate the pricing one out of ten in terms of affordability. It is not expensive at all. 

I've been using the latest version of the solution. 

If you understand email technicalities like email authentication, you will have an easy time with the solution. I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. 

I use the solution to protect email. It's primarily used for security purposes. 

The solution has improved the productivity of the users. It works in the background protecting us.

The protection has been fair so far. We haven't had any issues. 

It's easy to set up. The deployment is also fast. 

The solution has been stable.

The solution scales well. 

So far, the protection on offer is okay. There are no improvements needed at this time. 

The solution could lower its price. 

I've been using the solution for quite a long time at this point. I'm not sure how long it has been 

We have not had any stability issues. There are no bugs or glitches. It is reliable. 

It is scalable. It's easy to expand. We have about ten people using it in our environment. 

The initial setup is straightforward. It is not overly complex at all.

The deployment itself is very quick. It doesn't take long to set up. You only need one person to set up the solution. 

The solution could be cheaper. The pricing is transparent. There are no extra costs. 

I am a customer and end user. 

I'm not sure which version I'm using. 

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. It's okay. 

The solution protects our mailboxes from phishing and scanning.

The solution is very user-friendly.

The flexibility of the solution can be improved. We have a history of a white labeling project that we completed with one of the largest worldwide telecom companies. We encountered a major issue with some blending cases, as it was almost impossible to meet the blending of colors or requirements expected by our customers within the white labeling project. This is not only a technical issue, but from a marketing perspective, it is also very important. A white hyperlink means that we have prepared a dedicated infrastructure specifically labeled. All parts of our service had to be labeled with a very specific brand, and it was very challenging to make it all happen.

I have been using the solution for a few years.

The solution is stable.

For customers unfamiliar with DNS settings, we created very specific instructions with informative graphics to make the process less complicated. If we had no knowledge, it could have been difficult, so we created several infographics to show the steps that needed to be taken, and it worked.

The time to deploy depends on if we have a dedicated person or team working on the deployment or if we have to pull someone off another job.

The implementation is completed in-house.

We have a very specific licensing setup for all the vendors we use for our infrastructure. The end customer is buying our solution, which can be for monthly or annual usage depending on our payment and business model. If someone is trying to test the imaging, the shortest period for testing is a free trial of either fourteen days or seven days or a paid period of one month. The customer does not need to worry about any licensing with Proofpoint, as this is included with our solution.

I give the solution an eight out of ten.

We have almost 1000 people using the solution.

I recommend the solution to others.
