Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best part of Proofpoint Threat Response is the Auto-Pull feature. Being able to pull an email back from a user's mailbox is very useful, yet I have noticed that not a lot of organizations use this kind of feature."
"Support is very responsive."
"If something's pulled and then it's later declared a false positive, it will automatically restore. They also take automatic feeds from their advanced threat detection modules."
"It has reduced our manual efforts to remove emails from each user's inbox, and in this case we do not have to ask our IT department or users to do so."
"The platform's most valuable include the ability to check emails and block potential spam."
"The tool is stable. The initial setup is straightforward. The product is user-friendly."
 

Cons

"If the reporting gets improved then it would be better, but the product is running amazing as it is."
"Has some quirks."
"The interface within Threat Response could be made simpler."
"The on-premise version doesn't scale well for large companies."
"The platform's technical support services and pricing need improvement."
"The technical support should be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's quite affordable to have it with this much functionality and ease to administrate."
"The way most big companies work with Proofpoint is that they try to tie everything into an enterprise license. I can't comment on the actual costs, however I do know that alternative solutions such as Abnormal Security can be much more expensive than Proofpoint Threat Response."
