Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It has a dynamic runtime engine, which gives it an advantage over Prisma that has a static engine. In Prisma, we have to do additional malware analysis, which is not required in Proofpoint."

"The most valuable features are the administration console and its detection and response module.""Its greatest strength is the DXL client which can rapidly disseminate attack information to all clients via the McAfee Agent instead of going through the ePO server.""I recommend this solution because of its ease of use.""It stops in excess of twenty-five malware events per month, all of which could be critical to the business.""Provides good exfiltration, and is an all-in-one product.""It is very scalable.""It is stable and reliable."

Cons
"We are using the TRAP console that has a Linux-based UI, which is not user-friendly. The TAP console looks very advanced. Currently, we are maintaining three different consoles, and it is sometimes hard to switch between them or try to grab the data."

"Lacks remote capabilities not dependent on the internet.""This solution needs to be made "cloud ready".""We'd like them to be better at dealing with script threats.""Make the ATD system a part of the whole product and take the whole thing onto the cloud. While it is there already, it is not to the same level as the on-premise version.""The initial setup was industry standard complex. It takes awhile and has a lot of planning involved. It could be simplified with product redesign.""I would like to see future versions of the solution incorporate artificial intelligence technology.""There could be a tool that automatically updates all-new Microsoft IPs, which are available for free to connect to the client."

    Overview

    More than 90% of targeted attacks start with email—and these threats are always evolving. Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) helps you stay ahead of attackers with an innovative approach that detects, analyzes and blocks advanced threats before they reach your inbox. This includes ransomware and other advanced email threats delivered through malicious attachments and URLs. And zero-day threats, polymorphic malware, weaponized documents and phishing attacks. TAP provides adaptive controls to isolate the riskiest URL clicks. TAP also detects threats and risks in cloud apps, connecting email attacks related to credential theft or other attacks.
