	Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection (TAP)
Considered Both Products	Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) Verified User Team Lead Chose Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) Proofpoint has more insight on threats on threat dashboard. It has good details about correlation of threat with your environment. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Analyst Chose Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) Proofpoint TRAP has already proven that their product is reliable and also the innovation that they provided for the business. TAP is very reliable when it comes to alerting and blocking malicious URLs/Attachment/. This product plus the Email Protection are both very effective … Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) This is the first product of its kind that I've used personally. The last 3 companies that I worked for also used Proofpoint, which includes Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection, so I don't have a way to really compare it. I have seen that it is a leader in the industry. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) We ran both side by side and Proofpoint caught many additional spam/phishing emails. Helpful? MK Mike Kelley CISO (Chief Information Security Officer) Chose Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) TAP has much more robust feature sets that what we saw in Mimecast. They have also been acquiring companies adjacent to their business that bolsters their products. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) I have used Cisco IronPort in the past and there is no comparison to the protection that Proofpoint TAP provides. With systems that are not on-prem and other corporate-owned devices, like cell phones and iPad's, corporate-owned anti-x controls are not always able to maintain … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Director Chose Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) We selected Proofpoint TAP as part of the email security solution we were planning to deploy. We did not do an active bake off between specific features, like Proofpoint TAP, when we were evaluating different vendors. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Team Lead Chose Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) We don't use any other products, but this one is the best by far, and the support is amazing as well! We have enjoyed the interaction and the support and the implementation walkthrough as well. If you're not with Proofpoint, you need to consider it! What a great product! Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Manager Chose Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) We did not look at any other products for this specific requirement. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Manager Chose Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) Proofpoint does a great job of identifying threats used in email and because it is integrated with other Proofpoint services subscribed to, it provides a holistic picture of email security for my organization. Incentivized Helpful? CN christine nagy Head of Global IT Chose Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) Proofpoint costs more than Mimecast, but their uptime in comparison has been much better over the past year. Incentivized Helpful? SK Sateesh Konijeti Information Technology Specialist Chose Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) We used EOP (Exchange Online Protection) earlier and we had a POC on Proofpoint which we have been excited to use and the results are positive. Before Proofpoint, we had many issues with impostors. We were having hard time to get EOP (Microsoft) to proactively blok any of the … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Analyst Chose Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) Again, not wanting to disclose competition - But this product stacks up well against other vendors we looked at. Incentivized Helpful? Jane Updegraff Senior Systems Administrator Chose Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) Proofpoint and Mimecast do almost the same thing. But Proofpoint has a larger database of threats at any given time, and that is their strength. Incentivized Helpful? Chris Bash IS Systems Analyst Chose Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) TAP does a better job at detecting post email threats that Microsoft's ATP. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Analyst Chose Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) I have not used another solution, however, I have done my research and Proofpoint is definitely ahead. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Analyst Chose Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) We did not evaluate any other vendors in this space as Proofpoint was the leader when we looked at them. Incentivized Helpful? AD Alan Daniel Sr. Manager, Enterprise Information Security Chose Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) None. We haven't evaluated any other solutions like TAP. It was a natural course for us to layer on top of Proofpoint Email Protection. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) Proofpoint exceeds both in overall effectiveness. I found Barracuda to be easier to manage at times, but Proofpoint was more "customizable" to fit my needs. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Professional Chose Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) They actually don't really have a product like TAP. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Analyst Chose Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) I was not involved in the original evaluation or purchase decision for the Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection. Despite that fact, I feel confident that we have made the correct decision with our purchase of Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection. Incentivized Helpful? CK Casey Ketcham Sr. Network Administrator Chose Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) We didn't evaluate any other products Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Director Chose Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) Feature-wise identical. Mimecast was very affordable compared to Proofpoint. We were able to get annual costs with Proofpoint down to a more acceptable level. Also, the migration costs for us (due to deep customization) was more effort for little return (after PP price was … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Technician Chose Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) It is terrible, especially for the cost. If I am going to pay for a Lamborghini I expect performance. If my cheap GEO Metro can go just as fast while also saving me lots of money, why drive the Lambo? Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Executive Chose Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) We've seen cases which were passed in Microsoft's solution but later caught with TAP. Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection (TAP)
Likelihood to Recommend	Proofpoint I think it is well suited for any organization. It truly gives good insight on the email campaigns that are hitting your company, as well as the people that are being targeted the most and also VIP users such as executives or even other people in IT, cyber, or administrators. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Proofpoint Impostor email detection is a fantastic feature and works very well. The sandbox feature helps to ensure confidence that their evaluation of the email threat is valid. Easy to use (and understand) dashboard make identifying and managing email threats a breeze. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Proofpoint Their admin web GUI is cumbersome and unclear in many ways. The learning curve is steep so you have to stay up on things yourself whenever a new feature or service is added. They sometimes add a feature to their toolbox without informing their customers. This is true even when the feature added does not cost extra. Incentivized Jane Updegraff Senior Systems Administrator Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Proofpoint Not my decision, but I have made it very clear this product does not perform. I have emails from our users on how bad it is after switching to it. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	Proofpoint Simple to configure and very straightforward dashboard. Within days of implementation, we were using the dashboard to reduce our response time. Incentivized MK Mike Kelley CISO (Chief Information Security Officer) Read full review
Support Rating	Proofpoint Generally have had good response and resolution time with knowledgeable technicians, and if needed the ticket is moved to someone with more expertise to better address the issue. Have used the ticketing portal, phone, as well as the beta chat feature (permanent please!) Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Implementation Rating	Proofpoint Proofpoint managed the installation and made it very simple. We had a dedicated installation engineer who checked in on use periodically after go-live to ensure that there were no issue. Incentivized Jerry Robinson Chief Technology Officer/Director of IS Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Proofpoint Besides using the default native protection in the email product itself, we have not looked closely at other email security products. But going with Proofpoint is the right choice. When our leadership team has concerns about malware attacks, we just tell them that we have the security in place using Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection for Email. And we don't just tell them, we provide them the reports coming out of Proofpoint which show the threats being blocked and the metrics. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	Proofpoint Saves IT time when an attack is successful and isn't reported in a timely manner or at all until damages are done. IT has to spend less time and effort because we are able to stop it before it spreads. Protecting business resources and assets is a huge positive impact. TAP allows us to better protect our business and information within. The only negative thing is that it doesn't automatically handle these attacks - but that is what TRAP is for! I wish Proofpoint bundled TAP and TRAP. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
