Overall Satisfaction with Proofpoint Email Protection

Proofpoint Email Protection is being used across the whole of the corporation. We are filtering and inspecting both inbound and outbound email. Proofpoint has proven to be very beneficial for our organization. It is allowing us to eliminate the majority of spam email, which is in great abundance. We are also capturing any offensive language and malicious content that may be very well hidden inside email containers. Without Proofpoint, our users would be flooded with spam and malicious emails that could possibly bring our productivity to a halt. While we are far from being a fortune 500 company, we are never-the-less intercepting over one hundred and fifty thousand emails per week. In addition, Proofpoint customer service is outstanding. With high-level knowledge and quick response times, they always provide help and assistance when needed.
  • Spam protection is very effective, and we are intercepting an incredible amount of spam that would normally negatively impact production.
  • Safeguarding users - Our users appreciate using the digest. It allows them to make decisions and take action on specific emails.
  • Proofpoint has never failed us over the last five years of use.
  • It would be nice if language filtering could consider the context of how words are being used.
  • Evaluation of the ROI of having implemented Proofpoint is very difficult to estimate. However, without it, our users would be impacted and bombarded by thousands of unwanted emails every week and some departments would literally come to a standstill.

Proofpoint and McAfee Endpoint Security are very good and compliment each other well.

In our organization, this combination provides complete security for our users. Attackers have become very sophisticated in their methods. On occasion, more often than none, an email can be perfectly clean but will still contain a link leading to a malicious web page. With the McAfee and Proofpoint combination, we have been able to circumvent these types of incidents.

Proofpoint is well suited for corporate-wide inbound and outbound filtering. It also provides the ability to manage filtering very granularly, in ways such as using whitelists for permitting exceptions. With the advent of email cloud services, it is easier for attackers to infiltrate an organization. Proofpoint has proven its capability to execute detailed inspections of these types of emails.
