Overall Satisfaction with Proofpoint Email Protection
We use Proofpoint Email Protection across the whole organization. It is used to scan all incoming email into the organization to filter out spam and potential threats based on preset rules we configured. We also use Proofpoint to encrypt any internal and outgoing emails. Having the ability to setup rules for the email firewall makes it really easy to manage what comes in and goes out of our organization and quarantine and the logs that Proofpoint provides gives us a simple and easy to use way to see what exactly is being blocked, at what time and who the intended receivers would have been. If something gets quarantined by mistake, it is just as easy to forward the message on to the intended user.
- Email firewall
- End user logging
- Email encryption
- Search function only goes back about a month
- Maintenance hours conflict with our business hours because of timezone differences
- Having easy-to-reach backups of all employee emails has made Proofpoint worth it by itself. That plus the countless times that spam/malicious emails did not make it through to the intended person that could have potentially cost the organization a lot of money.
