Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It helps reduce spam and phishing attacks."
"The solution is easier to manage than FortiMail. You can implement policies easily."
"The solution's technical support is good. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"As a cloud-based product, it can scale well."
"Proofpoint Email Protection is the best solution from the perspective of email security."
"The most valuable feature of Proofpoint Email Protection is the TAP Dashboard. It provides more detailed information that can be used for forensic analysis. This is an advantage that other email security providers, such as Cisco, IronPort, or Microsoft do not offer in their dashboards."
"URL scanning and online relay service are the most valuable features of Proofpoint Email Protection."
"Proofpoint Email Protection's advantage is that, when it's working properly, it tends to catch more threats as compared to other products."
"I like all the features with Proofpoint, such as how it filters the spam and marketing mail, lost reality mail, blocks phishing attacks, blocks malicious attachments, and stops phishing links. Also it can defend against the business email compromise impersonation technique. It is a complete solution for all email attacks. It filters for the bad, malicious attachments. If there is any executable file, it can be deleted. It is a good, complete solution."
"It's very good at identifying threats."
 

Cons

"The solution does not always effectively identify zero day spam and phishing, but once reported the correction occurs very quickly."
"Its pricing could be affordable."
"Proofpoint should have better integration with complex environments that need more than one instance of Proofpoint, as there are issues with nested instances."
"The solution should add post-sales training."
"Proofpoint Email Protection could improve by reducing the price."
"The product's deployment is complex and requires technical knowledge."
"The setup requires expertise. It needs someone with experience on managing it, and I would rate the implementation as needing someone experienced."
"The support team was a bit slow."
"Proofpoint Email Protection's interface is confusing and could be improved."
"The solution could be improved with the addition of PLP and email encryption features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Email Security Gateway's pricing is good."
"Customers pay around $90,000 yearly for a 1,000-user organization, with the subscription license being the main expense, apart from implementation fees."
"The solution uses a licensing model that is reasonable compared to other products."
"Proofpoint Email Protection has comparable pricing."
"The solution is expensive."
"We sell annual licenses for this solution."
"The licensing is basically $8/user."
