Pros

"The tool's most valuable features are hosted SPF and DMARC records."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Proofpoint Email Protection is the blocking capabilities, it blocks a lot of potential threats."
"The most valuable features are the business email compromise protection and targeted attack prevention."
"The Tap and Trap features. They are the best features."

"I would recommend Proofpoint Email Protection to others because it is useful, simple to use, and provides whatever is required."
