    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.

    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 …

    Proofpoint
    Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection is a great security application for notifying our team about when our users click on malicious links. It provides a good explanation of the attack scenario, including the Sender, Subject, as well as other users that this attack has been sent to. It is also very useful in helping provide metrics on what types of attacks have been sent to the organization historically.

    If your email admins spend time manually pulling malicious emails, this tool will save them countless hours of work and will do it for them 24 x 7. So if a user receives a malicious email after-hours, TRAP will auto pull it from the affected user's mailbox and potentially save you from an IT disaster.

    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.

    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.

    Usability
    Proofpoint
    The interface is simple to use but still contains the information needed to conduct thorough investigations. If you own licenses for other Proofpoint tools, Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection is easily accessible from those applications. The ability to sandbox URLs within the TAP interface is a great feature as well. The overall performance of the GUI is seamless, especially if enabled with your organization's SSO.

    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!)

    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.
