Find out what your peers are saying about Proofpoint, Barracuda Networks, IRONSCALES and others in Secure Email Gateway (SEG)."The solution scales quite well."
"Proofpoint Email Protection is a good product, and its most beneficial feature is the Threat Response Auto-Pull. I also like that it's an integrated email security solution."
"The most valuable features are the business email compromise protection and targeted attack prevention."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to remove bad messages that were delivered, prior to being classified as unwanted."
"Provides better control over emails, especially those sent via Office 365 on the cloud."
"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."
"The setup was easy."
"The solution's technical support is good. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is MVX, which tests all of the files that have been received in an email."
"Initially, we didn't have much visibility around what is occurring at our applications lower level. For instance, if we are exposed to any malicious attacks or SQL injections. But now we've integrated FireEye with Splunk, so now we get lots of triggers based on policy content associated with FireEye. The solution has allowed for growth and improvement in our information security and security operations teams."
"The server appliance is good."
"I also like its logging method. Its logging is very powerful and useful for forensic purposes. You can see the traffic or a specific activity or how something entered your network and where it went."
"Before FireEye, most of the times that an incident would happen nobody would be able to find out where or why the incident occurred and that the system is compromised. FireEye is a better product because if the incident already happened I know that the breach is there and that the system is compromised so we can take appropriate action to prevent anything from happening."
"If we are receiving spam emails, or other types of malicious email coming from a particular email ID, then we are able to block them using this solution."
"The solution can scale."
"Very functional and good for detecting malicious traffic."
"The stability and UI are the two areas of the solution with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"Proofpoint Email Protection could improve on the training. Every organization is different and to fine-tune it to block everything properly there needs to be better training. Sometimes it can block some of the information it shouldn't."
"I would want better spear phishing protection in the essentials package."
"The initial setup is complex."
"It's scalable, but the devil's in the details — you have to know your email volumes."
"The price could be improved."
"Sometimes it detects false positives."
"The Secure Mail aspect should have an Outlook add-in, instead of an external dashboard that outside users have to access."
"Technical support could be improved."
"Technical packaging could be improved."
"Stability issues manifested in terms of throughput maximization."
"It is not a very secure product."
"The problem with FireEye is that they don't allow VM or sandbox customization. The user doesn't have control of the VMs that are inside the box. It comes from the vendor as-is. Some users like to have control of it. Like what type of Windows and what type of applications and they have zero control over this."
"The world is currently shifting to AI, but FIreEye is not following suit."
"It would be a good idea if we could get an option to block based upon the content of an email, or the content of a file attachment."
"FireEye Network Security should have better integration with other vendors' firewalls or proxies, such as Palo Alto and Fortinet. Files that are being submitted should happen through the API or automatically."
