Overall Satisfaction with Proofpoint Email Protection

We use it across the whole organization nationwide.

Pros

  • Spam detection
  • Phishing prevention
  • Virus detection

Cons

  • Management interface
  • False positive reporting
  • System performance
  • Protected critical business information.
  • Expensive for what it is (need to pay for extra functionality).
  • Helped with user education about cyber-security.
It's definitely better and more robust and reliable than our previous solution (McAfee Email Gateway), but when compared to Mimecast they are pretty much on par. Both solutions offer a very good solution to email security.
Mimecast Cloud Archive, Microsoft Office 365, Crossware Mail Signature
It's a very good filtering solution but not without its problems and issues, especially their so-called cloud implementation which is nothing more than an appliance with storage and performance limitations.

The configuration is very detailed, but at the same time it's not very intuitive and some things are very hard to set up.
