Overall Satisfaction with Proofpoint Email Protection

We use Proofpoint for all our inbound and outbound email protection. We have stopped spam from entering our network. Typically users do not receive spam and if they do they sometimes send it to the support desk letting us know one got through. Some users have been here 15 to 20 years so you know their email address has been out in the wild for a while. It is a great product and one I recommend.
  • Rate and stop spam based on the rating
  • Allow us to block email from countries that we do not work in
  • Encrypt our email coming in and out of the domain
  • Proofpoint has many options that you pay for. If you do not need the option then you do not need to pay for it, but it does help to know what is available as an option.
  • Proofpoint has a cloud service and an on-premises one. We currently just use the on-premises service and do not know anything about the cloud offering.
  • Cost is high with some of the options.
  • We do not get calls about virus or malware installs.
  • Most of the issues we were seeing came from users clicking on an email. We scan all our links with Proofpoint before delivery.
  • We saved enough time with support that we did not need a third PC support person.

Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365)
Proofpoint Email Protection is a plug-and-go solution. You can also configure Proofpoint if needed. In other words, you can forget about the service or tweak the server to your heart's content. If you are a smaller shop you may want to use something like Office 365's email protection.
