"The most valuable feature of Proofpoint Email Protection is the blocking capabilities, it blocks a lot of potential threats."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"The solution scales quite well."
"URL scanning and online relay service are the most valuable features of Proofpoint Email Protection."
"Proofpoint Email Protection is stable enough and does its job of virus, malware, and email scam detection. Setting it up is not too complicated."
"Proofpoint is the main tool for blocking spam because it denies the connection altogether."
"The most valuable feature is the option to edit the inbound security."
"I like that Trend Micro ScanMail is very effective and quite strong."
"What I like the most about Trend Micro ScanMail is its easiness."
"It does the job. Even when our clients have a very high rate of emails per second, there has been no problem."
"The analysis part is good."
"Its integration with mail platforms is valuable."
"I would want better spear phishing protection in the essentials package."
"It has too many screens. It is kind of a conglomeration of products. In other words, they built product A, product B, and product C, and they are yet to integrate them into a single administrative console. I would certainly like to see a more seamless administrative interface. I would also like to see them include more bang for the buck, by including features like email fraud protection, rather than making their product so piecemeal, where you are buying little pieces. I agree with the idea of having multiple tiers or layers, but maybe as small, medium, and large, as opposed to an a la carte menu."
"The solution should add post-sales training."
"Proofpoint Email Protection is an expensive solution."
"We find the cost to be prohibitive."
"The scalability can be improved, and the solution can be optimized."
"Integration and filtering out who you want and don't want to have integrated ID could be improved."
"You only receive one model in Proofpoint Email Protection and the other ones you have to purchase at a high price. There should be more available with the solution and additional models should be less expensive."
"The weaknesses of Trend Micro ScanMail are that it doesn't fully protect ad-based web access and lacks proper security for Outlook, iOS, and web browser access."
"The sandboxing part can be improved."
"The price could be better. I think it's pretty good compared to other solutions as far as the features are concerned. It basically covers most of the stuff which we require for email security. But it would be better if they made it a little cheaper and more cost-effective. That would make it easier for us to sell it."
"Its user interface is pretty old-fashioned, and sometimes, it's hard to find the features that you are looking for. The user interface definitely needs some improvement."
"ScanMail was one of the best solutions a few years ago, but it is no longer the best solution because of its old-fashioned management console. Customers associate it with something that is old because there is no change in the management console. It has old icons, and it is not fresh enough. It is also not easy to use or play with. The report engine is also old-fashioned. Customers want something easier, quicker, and cleaner."
