Overall Satisfaction with Proofpoint Email Protection

Proofpoint is used to protect our email communication. Proofpoint is used in our whole organization as a gateway server for mailing. Proofpoint does a good filtering mail which reduced the number of cyberattacks and also allows us to add some exceptions to mail filtration. That way, we can allow secure mail to be delivered to our users without it getting blocked by Proofpoint.
  • Mail filtration: Proofpoint has its own algorithm but we still can create a rule for mail flirtation.
  • Organizational blacklist: We can block domains, SMTP addresses, or any IP.
  • Inbound mail: Only added or authorized domain mail will be passed by ProofPoint to the internal mail server.
  • Quarantine: This is a good feature which allows us to control the blocked mail and if we feel mail id good, then we can take the action.
  • Spam: Spam detection is also good.
  • Quarantine storage: We receive lots of emails and we feel the storage capacity of Proofpoint is lacking. We cannot keep the mail in the quarantined folder for more than a week.
  • We don't have any cyber attack so it's good for our business. :)
First, Proofpoint provides some complex mail filtering and also the sandboxing feature beats every competitor.
I feel that wether the company is mid-level or enterprise and require any complex mail filtering, then ProofPoint is best. Again, each department has its own requirements related to mail rules, so ProofPoint plays a very good role in these scenarios. For a small organization, I don't think they require any complex filtering and cost is a big factor.
