Effectively reduces spam and malicious emails with reliable detection capabilities

It would be helpful to make it easier for end users to filter and see items in the quarantine within the Proofpoint Intelligent Compliance Platform. As an admin, I believe it would be sensible if end users could also see the quarantine folder in the Proofpoint Intelligent Compliance Platform so they can create their own rules. The reports are all predefined, and I cannot create custom reports, so I am not fully satisfied with their visibility. I would appreciate the ability to generate my own reports.

Support for data archiving and integration capabilities enhance data management

The GUI of Veritas Enterprise Vault is not friendly; the user interface can be quite convoluted for users or IT people who are not conversant with it. Even for professionals, it can be complex. Over time, if you get the hang of it, you'll understand it, but it's not something you can teach a user to quickly grasp. It's kind of complex. Veritas could do something to change this situation. I've given feedback quite a number of times through various channels, including during support calls. I remember trying to do a system state backup using our NetBackup feature, and I found out that Veritas NetBackup cannot back up a system state. Having numerous solutions instead of just one backup system can be quite unfriendly. They can back up other things such as databases and file servers, but when it comes to carrying a system state backup, it falls short. Honestly, Veritas Enterprise Vault's costing was one of the main reasons we dropped the integration to the cloud.
