Dynamic runtime engine and good protection, but needs better support and a single console
We have two to three issues per month. We contact Proofpoint's customer support for these issues. I am a major point of contact for support. If I am not able to resolve an issue, we will be reaching out to them. Proofpoint can take a couple of days to get back. I also deal with other applications from Okta and Microsoft, and we get the support within a couple of hours. There is a lot of difference between a couple of hours and a couple of days. So, Proofpoint's support should be improved. Okta and Microsoft are also able to do a Zoom or video call, but Proofpoint provides support only through email communication. Only if you request, it would be a Zoom or video session.

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."
"What I find most valuable with the solution is that it can integrate with cloud solutions, such as Google and Microsoft. Additionally, the solution is easy to use."
"One of the most valuable features is the protection against vulnerabilities, particularly through virtual patching."
"The product helps reduce the number of malicious emails reaching the user's inbox."
"FireEye Email Security helps us prevent spam and phishing emails and all other business-compromised email attacks."
"FireEye Email Security is easy to use."
"Before installing, consider potential challenges with system performance, especially when integrating multiple tools, which could slow down performance."
"One of the valuable features of the product stems from the fact that it is easy to implement the tool in our environment."
"The auto-remediation feature is valuable."
 

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."
"FireEye needs single sign-on. They say it's on their roadmap. They should also implement support for Microsoft Authenticator app for 2FA."
"I would like to see this solution become more flexible."
"The reporting aspect of the solution needs improvement."
"I would rate them as a 1.5. The new hub created in India is not good."
"I would like the solution to be able to automatically quarantine the malicious emails before getting to the user's mailbox and continue with regular email operations. This could result in the user clicking the email before the purge operation is completed."
"The solution is not easy to set up. However, we have employees that have the knowledge that can do the difficult implementation. It would be better if the process was easier."
"There is a need for improved integration with totally different products, such as a rapid server."
"If they want to be the primary or best solution, they need to have better email management features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The cost is very high."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
"The solution requires a license to be purchased for every user."
"I rate the product price as nine out of ten, where ten is the most expensive, and one is the cheapest. There is no need to pay any extra charges apart from the licensing costs."
