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.
Proofpoint is a great tool to protect end-users from malicious emails. We collect logs of all spam and threat emails sent to our users for our internal audit's and the data is always a great showing. The email backup is also very useful for our end users. Over the past couple years we starting making the push to get our users to stop relying on large .pst files to store their email archives, which for some users ended up taking up multiple GB of space on our network storage. Being able to use the Proofpoint archive gives them the ability to look through all the email they've received or sent back to a specific set date.
