Great documentation, good technical support, and very in-depth
The initial setup can be complex. I would advise users to leverage all of the access with Palo Alto, in terms of setting up with the technical account management teams. They need to ensure that what they have in mind for the product is actually going to be what happens. I have not run into any problems with deploying the product. Any of their security products are well-documented, either with open source intelligence or the documentation from Palo Alto. We had a client with less than a thousand users that received a dedicated engineer and a technical account manager that was able to walk them through the first 90 days of ownership. The support is certainly there.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"If something's pulled and then it's later declared a false positive, it will automatically restore. They also take automatic feeds from their advanced threat detection modules."
"The platform's most valuable include the ability to check emails and block potential spam."
"Support is very responsive."
"The best part of Proofpoint Threat Response is the Auto-Pull feature. Being able to pull an email back from a user's mailbox is very useful, yet I have noticed that not a lot of organizations use this kind of feature."
"It has reduced our manual efforts to remove emails from each user's inbox, and in this case we do not have to ask our IT department or users to do so."
"It basically automates the entire alert investigation process."
"The ease of deployment is a valuable feature."
"Technical support is great. Palo Alto is extremely helpful and responsive."
 

Cons

"The platform's technical support services and pricing need improvement."
"The on-premise version doesn't scale well for large companies."
"If the reporting gets improved then it would be better, but the product is running amazing as it is."
"Has some quirks."
"The interface within Threat Response could be made simpler."
"The price should be reduced in order to be more competitive in the market."
"Maybe the notifications setting could use a simpler setting."
"Many will try to use this as an out-of-the-box solution, however, it needs to be configured to fit what a company would like to do with it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The way most big companies work with Proofpoint is that they try to tie everything into an enterprise license. I can't comment on the actual costs, however I do know that alternative solutions such as Abnormal Security can be much more expensive than Proofpoint Threat Response."
"It's quite affordable to have it with this much functionality and ease to administrate."
"Be sure of the actual number of endpoints in your company."
"The price of this solution is the highest in the market, although there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
