Overall Satisfaction with Proofpoint Email Protection

We were using Microsoft Office 365 ATP for a year before switching to Proofpoint. The product is more expensive but it does a much better job than ATP in filtering the emails. Quarantine digest is fantastic and our users love it. Proofpoint assisted us with the initial setup and administration has been easy since. It is used across our whole organization.
  • Email filtering
  • Quarantine Digest
  • Threat dashboard
  • Nothing in particular. We are happy with the product.
  • Very few malicious emails getting through
  • Took a bit of time for users to get used to Quarantine Digest - releasing, blocking senders
  • Expensive compared to Office 365 ATP
  • Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365)
Microsoft Office 365 Advanced Threat Protection needs to improve a lot to catch up to Proofpoint's abilities and features. We used ATP for a year but malicious emails were slipping through. Proofpoint was much more efficient in catching malicious emails. With ATP the quarantined emails were going to the Junk Folder while Proofpoint has the Quarantine Digest which is better in my opinion.
