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.

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."
"URL scanning and online relay service are the most valuable features of Proofpoint Email Protection."
"The most valuable feature of Proofpoint Email Protection is the TAP Dashboard. It provides more detailed information that can be used for forensic analysis. This is an advantage that other email security providers, such as Cisco, IronPort, or Microsoft do not offer in their dashboards."
"The Tap and Trap features. They are the best features."
"The initial implementation is pretty easy to handle."
"Proofpoint provides an expandable project model, including DLP, email archiving, and encryption, which makes it a complete email security solution."
"Proofpoint Email Protection is stable enough and does its job of virus, malware, and email scam detection. Setting it up is not too complicated."
"The most valuable features are the business email compromise protection and targeted attack prevention."
"The solution's technical support is good. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"Arctic Wolf Managed Security Awareness should have increased flexibility for creating any training."
"I believe they still need to improve by consolidating some portals, as currently, you have to log in separately to a few of them."
"It became very expensive due to the nature of local circumstances, and I may advise Proofpoint to adjust marketing solutions based on each country."
"Proofpoint should have better integration with complex environments that need more than one instance of Proofpoint, as there are issues with nested instances."
"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."
"We'd like to have the ability to create more customized reports."
"Phishing detection could improve further to match some of the capabilities offered by competitors."
"Proofpoint has a lot of false alarms."
"The solution's server console and cluster dashboard have been the same for four years so need to be upgraded."
 

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."
"I rate the price of Proofpoint Email Protection a four out of five."
"Proofpoint Email Protection is a reasonably priced product, which means that it is neither too low nor too high in terms of price."
"The solution is expensive."
"The price is reasonable."
"In general, the pricing is competitive."
"The end customer is buying our solution, which can be for monthly or annual usage depending on our payment and business model."
"The licensing cost of Proofpoint Email Protection is a lot higher than other solutions, such as Barracuda."
"We sell annual licenses for this solution."
