Overall Satisfaction with Proofpoint Email Protection

Proofpoint is being used by the entire company to block spam and monitor incoming and outgoing external emails.
  • Block and accept senders
  • Send out daily end-user digests.
  • Respond to customer tickets.
  • Training on configurations for firewall rules.
  • Training on running configurations for end-user digests.
  • Notifying the client when there is an issue with the admin console.
  • Excellent customer service
  • Poor status of emails
  • Superb rules
Proofpoint is better than Cisco in a lot of aspects but the error and status messages aren't clear.
Some components on the Proofpoint Admin Console are user-friendly when it applies to adding blocked or accepted senders. When messages aren't delivered, Proofpoint could do a better job of making sure the reasoning for not delivering the message is clear. For instance, if a status is "@fr.com are being quarantined and discarded," we'd like to know why?
