"Customer support is the solution's strongest point."
"The solution is scalable."

"One advantage is its immediate deployment capability. So the fast speed to deploy is a big plus point."
"I like Barracuda's cloud sandbox feature."
"Before this solution, we didn't have any separate feature for protecting our emails. We used to only have a firewall but now we have email security. It has a graphical interface and we can see the log every time. We can see that the performance is fine."
"It can scale."
"A stable solution."
"Ability to create your own content-filtering policies with relative ease."
"Proofpoint Email Protection is the best solution from the perspective of email security."
"The most valuable feature is the option to edit the inbound security."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"The setup was easy."
"The archive feature is valuable."
"Its main defense is to stop malicious emails from coming through. There is a sandbox environment where you can open malicious or suspicious emails to make sure that they're not malicious, instead of taking the risk of having your employees do it. This is definitely something that everybody needs nowadays, especially with the rise in cyber attacks."
"The initial implementation is pretty easy to handle."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"The pricing needs improvement."
"This product can always be made more secure."
"The solution should include an improvised anti-phishing feature, since it blocks certain genuine emails."
"We would like to have a local support center in India so that they are operating in the same time zone and speak the same language."
"I am not aware of the licensing costs."
"Barracuda's spam database isn't on par with its competitors. Users complain about the spam email they're receiving, and we report the issue. Barracuda said they are going to update their system to block the malicious email we received, but we're still getting the same spam. The signatures are not in their database. They need to update their spam signatures because spam is bypassing Barracuda."
"There is room for improvement in the speed of the interface, specifically the cloud interface, is a bit slow."
"The technical support is not available globally 24/7 and this is the biggest problem with the product."
"FTP server and TRUST Manager functionality."
"Malware needs improvement."
"Proofpoint Email Protection could improve the Mail Trace feature and make navigation easier."
"I want Security Awareness Training in there as a package deal. A lot of companies are starting to value email security a little bit more and take it a little bit more seriously, and the great product that we link together with a lot of these sales is a training product called Security Awareness Training. It is an upsell that we do with Proofpoint, and it is definitely something that I recommend everybody with email security to look into. It would be great if Security Awareness Training is included with the email security."
"The high cost of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The email DLP portion could be a bit easier."
"Integration and filtering out who you want and don't want to have integrated ID could be improved."
"Proofpoint should have better integration with complex environments that need more than one instance of Proofpoint, as there are issues with nested instances."
"The reporting section could be enhanced. I like some reports but if they could allow us to create custom reports with more flexibility it would enhance the reports more."
"The product's deployment is complex and requires technical knowledge."
