Muhammad Aamir Riaz - PeerSpot reviewer
Useful for automation and reporting and has open API for seamless integration
It was easy to integrate the tool with our infrastructure because all the APIs are pre-built. We just created a drag-and-drop prompt to integrate the solution with our infrastructure. I rate the overall solution a ten out of ten. Everyone needs to evaluate this solution according to their organization's needs because it can integrate well, but this depends on the technology you already have in your organization. It is an automation tool for detection and response, and while integration is possible, using legacy products could create issues. Some legacy products are closed systems and do not expose their APIs to other vendors. In such cases, you could run into problems. If you are considering this solution, check which APIs are available before you proceed. Otherwise, you may get the solution, but you must spend time on integrations. They provide integration support, but it's not automatic; it will take time.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is an out-of-the-box automated integration with our 20 departments. We perform L1 LiveOps automatically through the portal."
"The solution's valuable feature is its GUI. It has more than 450 connectors, which are excellent for connecting devices and automating integration. The solution has all the features we need. We deployed it in our environment, and it's fully integrated. Thanks to their open APIs, the seamless integration makes everything work well together."
"The best part of Proofpoint Threat Response is the Auto-Pull feature. Being able to pull an email back from a user's mailbox is very useful, yet I have noticed that not a lot of organizations use this kind of feature."
"If something's pulled and then it's later declared a false positive, it will automatically restore. They also take automatic feeds from their advanced threat detection modules."
"It has reduced our manual efforts to remove emails from each user's inbox, and in this case we do not have to ask our IT department or users to do so."
"The platform's most valuable include the ability to check emails and block potential spam."
"Support is very responsive."
 

Cons

"The reporting, especially custom reporting, needs to be improved. Additionally, it would be better if it could be hosted on Linux."
"Reporting needs improvement. MTTR and MTTD metrics aren't directly available in playbooks and require manual effort to achieve."
"If the reporting gets improved then it would be better, but the product is running amazing as it is."
"The on-premise version doesn't scale well for large companies."
"The platform's technical support services and pricing need improvement."
"The interface within Threat Response could be made simpler."
"Has some quirks."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It's quite affordable to have it with this much functionality and ease to administrate."
"The way most big companies work with Proofpoint is that they try to tie everything into an enterprise license. I can't comment on the actual costs, however I do know that alternative solutions such as Abnormal Security can be much more expensive than Proofpoint Threat Response."
