Overall Satisfaction with Proofpoint Advanced Threat Protection

This is a great tool to protect against spam and malicious emails. Like every product it isn't perfect but it does a good job and creates a regular list of emails that have been blocked. I think the frequency of reports can be adjusted but we run a report every 8 hours which is good to take note of false positives but 3 reports a day is a lot to manage. Overall there are not a lot of false positives and I would say that close to 95% of the time it is correct with what it blocks.
  • Identify and block spam emails
  • Identify and block malicious emails
  • Provides a report of items that have been blocked
  • Allows users to release low threat items but items considered more risky need to be released by an admin
  • Unsure how to train it to release false positives
  • PP blocks 5-10 emails per day which are spam or malicious
  • I only get a small number of emails per week which are spam
  • The only malicious emails I receive are from our internal security team which bypasses the PP threat protection

It is great out of the box and uses AI and machine learning to identify threats with minimal input. It does need to be configured and tuned to meet the needs of the organisation. Industry specific software that sends or receives emails may be affected by this product.
