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.

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.
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.
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 …
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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 …
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?
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.
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.
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!)
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.
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.
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.
