Supportive and responsive technical support with good security rules
Pros and Cons
- "They have customized security rules, mature rules, anti-virus protection, as well as email authentication similar to SPF, DKIM, and DMARC."
- "They do not have an on-demand scan for the internal viruses and internal users, and they don't have a scan for the exchange server against viruses and spam as Symantec does."
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The sandbox update is very accurate.
They have customized security rules, mature rules, anti-virus protection, as well as email authentication similar to SPF, DKIM, and DMARC.
What needs improvement?
They do not have an on-demand scan for the internal viruses and internal users, and they don't have a scan for the exchange server against viruses and spam as Symantec does.
Also, they are not able to scan multiple engines as McAfee does.
I would like to see a feature included as an email security gateway the way that Symantec does.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Proofpoint Email Protection for seven months.
