Offers an additional layer of protection compared to other brands

Pros

"Proofpoint Email Protection offers an additional layer of protection compared to other brands like Microsoft, Mimecast, and Barracuda. While these major companies excel at detecting malicious attachments, the solution goes further by analyzing the context of emails, allowing for more nuanced decision-making."

Cons

"The product's deployment is complex and requires technical knowledge. "

Catches more threats than most, but currently unstable with poor sales support

Pros

"Proofpoint Email Protection's advantage is that, when it's working properly, it tends to catch more threats as compared to other products."

Cons

"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. "

Optimize email security with effective sandboxing and auto Pull for quarantine

Pros

"Proofpoint provides an expandable project model, including DLP, email archiving, and encryption, which makes it a complete email security solution."

Cons

"Phishing detection could improve further to match some of the capabilities offered by competitors. "

Brings down malicious email reporting by over 50% and allows you to open suspicious emails in a sandbox environment

Pros

"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."

Cons

"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."
