Cisco Cloud Email Security vs. Proofpoint Information Protection

It's suitable for content filtering applications using regex, hash, domain, or email... It's particularly perfect for a Cisco infrastructure. It's also perfect for a hybrid environment, such as on-prem/cloud. It's less appropriate for small- to mid-sized infrastructure because it's too complex for basic use. The UI can be improved as well.

Best suited for organizations that are dealing with high volumes of protected/personsal or financial information that must be kept secure

Cisco TAC support is very good since they have engineers available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Important to mention that you must have the support of the solution enabled to be able to receive a response from TAC and that we can be taken care of. The only drawback may be that they will not be able to see settings of the email provider you use.
