Jared Kruger - PeerSpot reviewer
A reasonably-priced service to help build a culture of security with a good technical support team
In our company, we tailor the service to meet the needs of our customers. If one of our company's customers struggles with a certain aspect, we help tailor the service and fix or switch it for them. I can't really think of an area that could be improved in the service. In a company, the service is more for training your team and the other extended teams. Arctic Wolf Managed Security Awareness should have increased flexibility for creating any training. Assuming that this week, you decide that you want the company to hold a training on a certain aspect, but I see that the training is made quite a bit in advance so that training materials are always available for the customers. Some flexibility to add very specific types of training upon request from a customer would make for a great improvement in Arctic Wolf Managed Security.

Beginner -friendly tool and simplifies the process of adding new domains
I didn't work on the installation and deployment, but I know the procedure. It's easy, not complicated. We just need to have servers and storage capacity. In our organization, it was an on-premises Proofpoint Protection, so we had a server, capacity storage, and all. We also need to connect that server with our internal environment and Active Directory. It's all easy. There's documentation from Proofpoint on how to do it. And we also have support from their team to guide us.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The service's customers get some form of training every two weeks to help fight against common attacks."
"The most valuable features of Proofpoint Email Protection are the performance from being on the cloud."
"It was easy to set up."
"There is no downtime."
"Proofpoint Email Protection is a good product, and its most beneficial feature is the Threat Response Auto-Pull. I also like that it's an integrated email security solution."
"I recommend all of my customers to migrate and start using Proofpoint as it is secure, minimizes risk, and eliminates phishing attacks."
"The stability is very good."
"As a cloud-based product, it can scale well."
"The spam filter for email is good."
 

Cons

"Arctic Wolf Managed Security Awareness should have increased flexibility for creating any training."
"The stability and UI are the two areas of the solution with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"The initial setup is complex."
"It has too many screens. It is kind of a conglomeration of products. In other words, they built product A, product B, and product C, and they are yet to integrate them into a single administrative console. I would certainly like to see a more seamless administrative interface. I would also like to see them include more bang for the buck, by including features like email fraud protection, rather than making their product so piecemeal, where you are buying little pieces. I agree with the idea of having multiple tiers or layers, but maybe as small, medium, and large, as opposed to an a la carte menu."
"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."
"You only receive one model in Proofpoint Email Protection and the other ones you have to purchase at a high price. There should be more available with the solution and additional models should be less expensive."
"The setup requires expertise. It needs someone with experience on managing it, and I would rate the implementation as needing someone experienced."
"We'd like to have the ability to create more customized reports."
"Proofpoint Email Protection could improve by reducing the price."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Arctic Wolf Managed Security Awareness is very cheap. I rate the service's price two or three on a scale of one to ten, where one is low and ten is high."
"It is multiple times more expensive, which made it very much less attractive."
"I rate the price of Proofpoint Email Protection a four out of five."
"In general, the pricing is competitive."
"I rate the product price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"The licensing model for Proofpoint Email Protection is simple. It's based on the number of users. Price-wise, Proofpoint Email Protection is a five out of ten because it's a pretty expensive solution."
"The tool's pricing depends on the customer's preference, offering options for an annual license or a monthly subscription. The cost varies based on factors such as the number of users and specific requirements. Overall, the pricing is competitive."
"The licensing cost of Proofpoint Email Protection is a lot higher than other solutions, such as Barracuda."
"They are competitively priced, but I have been forced to get quotes for other solutions now because they haven't been responding to requests to do the work that we would like them to do."
