Check Point Harmony Email & Office vs. Proofpoint Email Protection

Well-suited for small or medium businesses running on Microsoft 365 or Google Business Suite to provide an additional layer of security and filtering for email.

Well suited: Proofpoint does a pretty good job at protecting us from spam emails. I was able to block a lot of emails coming from SendGrid by blocking SendGrid emails with a custom spam filter. However, SendGrid has a lot of legit emails too so I was able to create another rule to allow those emails from certain people, then block the rest. That way business need was met but spam emails are blocked. Less Appropriate If you are trying to monitor internal to internal emails Proofpoint is probably a little over featured for that.
